TRACE Depository Institution Reporting Port Requests

As announced by the Board of the Federal Reserve System in the Federal Register on October 28, 2021, FINRA will collect detailed data on depository institutions' daily transactions of marketable U.S. Treasury securities and of the debt and MBS issued by U.S. federal government agencies including government-sponsored enterprises (agencies) via its Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine (TRACE). 

As a reminder, the effective date for this program is Thursday, September 1, 2022.

As referenced on the FINRA’s dedicated web page FIX port requests may be made to establish connectivity.  At the current time, only FIX port requests for the test facility (NTF) will be processed. 

Because monthly fees for FIX production ports are incurred immediately upon assignment, and not just upon usage, FINRA recommends requests for production ports be initiated in late June 2022.  Users who have already requested both NTF and production FIX ports should re-issue the production port request to Subscriber Services beginning in late June 2022. 

Please contact FINRA Product Management or call 866.899.2107 with questions regarding this notice.
