TRACE for Treasuries Re-platform User Acceptance Test #2

As part of its Transparency Services improvement initiative, beginning on February 26, 2024, FINRA will re-platform the TRACE for Treasuries (TS) product to a new Linux-based operating system. FINRA encourages testing participation in this effort to validate that all processes work within clients’ TRACE reporting framework. 

FINRA will sponsor the second production User Acceptance Test (UAT) on Saturday, January 20, 2024, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. ET. Clients who wish to participate in this test must register with FINRA Market Operations or at 866.776.0800 no later than noon on Thursday, January 18, 2024. Any client who chooses to test should connect to their production systems on that day; the trading day will be Saturday, January 20, 2024.  FINRA will clear out all transactions at the end of the test. 

The conference line listed below will be open for the duration of the test. Due to a limited number of lines, firms should consider sharing the line if calling from the same location.
