On October 21, 2016, the US Federal Reserve Board announced that
it plans to begin collecting data on Treasury security secondary
market transactions from banks. The Federal Reserve Board intends
to negotiate with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority to
potentially act as the collection agent for this data on behalf of
the Federal Reserve Board. These plans are intended to complement a
recent FINRA rule change, approved by the SEC, requiring
broker-dealers to report secondary market transactions in Treasury
securities. The release cited the Inter Agency Working Group's
report on the market events of October 15, 2014, as recommending
enhanced data collection activities. The Federal Reserve Board
intends to seek public comment on the proposal.
