FINRA notified member firms that it will replace the current web-based system that firms use to submit short interest positions with a new web-based interface that is accessible via the Firm Gateway. The current system will be deactivated as of the close of business on January 10, 2017. The new system will be available as of January 17, 2017.
To provide firms with the ability to test any program modifications necessitated by these changes, FINRA will make a test environment available from October 3, 2016, through December 2, 2016.
