FINRA issued a reminder that, beginning July 10, 2017, firms will be required to report transactions executed in U.S. Treasuries to TRACE. FINRA also provided general information and a schedule for TRACE testing in preparation for the July 10 deadline. Testing will be available through the NASDAQ Testing Facility from Monday, April 17, 2017 through Friday, July 7, 2017.
To better assist firms' transition to the new reporting requirements, FINRA also has scheduled three Production User Acceptance Tests, and created a dedicated TRACE for Treasuries page on the FINRA website.
