2017–028] 

Self-Regulatory Organizations; 

Financial Industry Regulatory 

Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and 

Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed 

Rule Change To Implement a New 

Electronic Form 211 

August 28, 2017. 

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘SEA’’ 

or ‘‘Act’’) 1 and Rule 19b–4 thereunder,2

notice is hereby given that on August 

24, 2017, Financial Industry Regulatory 

Authority, Inc. (‘‘FINRA’’) filed with the 

Securities and Exchange Commission 

(‘‘SEC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) the proposed 

rule change as described in Items I, II, 

and III below, which Items have been 

prepared by FINRA. FINRA has 

designated the proposed rule change as 

constituting a ‘‘non-controversial’’ rule 

change under paragraph (f)(6) of Rule 

19b–4 under the Act,3 which renders 

the proposal effective upon receipt of 

this filing by the Commission. The 

Commission is publishing this notice to 

solicit comments on the proposed rule 

change from interested persons. 

I. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Terms of Substance of 

the Proposed Rule Change 

FINRA is proposing a rule change 

relating to members’ filing obligations 

under FINRA Rule 6432 (Compliance 

with the Information Requirements of 

SEA Rule 15c2–11). The proposal 

implements a new electronic Form 211 

in place of the current paper form. 

The proposed rule change does not 

make any changes to the text of FINRA 

rules. 

The text of the proposed rule change 

is available on FINRA’s Web site at 

http://www.finra.org, at the principal 

office of FINRA and at the 

Commission’s Public Reference Room. 

II. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

In its filing with the Commission, 

FINRA included statements concerning 

the purpose of and basis for the 

proposed rule change and discussed any 

comments it received on the proposed 

rule change. The text of these statements 

may be examined at the places specified 

in Item IV below. FINRA has prepared 

summaries, set forth in sections A, B, 

and C below, of the most significant 

aspects of such statements. 

A. Self-Regulatory Organization’s 

Statement of the Purpose of, and 

Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule 

Change 

1. Purpose 

SEA Rule 15c2–11 generally prohibits 

a broker-dealer from publishing any 

quotation for a security not listed or 

traded on a national securities 

exchange, or directly or indirectly, 

submitting any such quotation for 

publication, in any quotation medium,4

unless it has gathered and reviewed 

specified information about the issuer 

and security that is the subject of the 

quotation and has a reasonable basis 

under the circumstances for believing 

that such information is accurate in all 

material respects and obtained from a 

reliable source. The information 

requirements applicable to a security 

under SEA Rule 15c2–11 differ 

depending on the characteristics of the 

issuer and the security being quoted. 

FINRA Rule 6432 (Compliance with 

the Information Requirements of SEA 

Rule 15c2–11) facilitates member 

compliance with SEA Rule 15c2–11 by 

prescribing the method by which 

member firms must demonstrate to 

FINRA compliance with SEA Rule 

15c2–11.5 Rule 6432 generally provides 

that no member shall initiate or resume 

quotations in a non-exchange-listed 

security unless the member 

demonstrates compliance by making a 

filing with, and in the form required by, 

FINRA (‘‘Form 211’’). FINRA currently 

requires members to comply with Rule 

6432 by submitting a paper Form 211, 

which, pursuant to this filing, will be 

replaced with the proposed electronic 

Form 211. Form 211 is designed to 

gather pertinent information regarding 

the subject issuer and security, the 

member’s knowledge of and 

relationship with the issuer, and the 

member’s intended quotation activities 

with respect to the subject security. 

FINRA currently administers the Form 

211 manually—in paper form—and 

members transmit the form to FINRA 

via mail, email, or fax. 

FINRA proposes to transition to an 

electronic Form 211, which would be 

accessible to member firms through 

FINRA’s Firm Gateway.6 The electronic 

Form 211 generally solicits the same 

information currently requested in the 

paper form 7 and, in addition to a cover 

page, contains five sections covering: (1) 

Issuer and security information; (2) 

information required pursuant to SEA 

Rule 15c2–11(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(4) or 

(a)(5), as applicable; (3) information 

required pursuant to paragraphs (b)(1) 

through (b)(3) of SEA Rule 15c2–11; (4)
