MSRB Rule G-14, on reports of sales or purchases, to rescind a previously approved but not yet
effective shortening of the amount of time within which brokers, dealers and municipal securities
dealers (“dealers”) must report most transactions to the MSRB, reverting such timeframe to the
currently effective 15-minute reporting timeframe, (ii) amend the Rule G-14 RTRS Procedures
to eliminate two previously approved but not yet effective reporting exceptions and a manual
trade indicator relating to the rescinded shortened timeframes, and (iii) make a related

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 5 provides that, within 45 days of the publication of notice of
the filing of a proposed rule change, or within such longer period up to 90 days as the
Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its
reasons for so finding or as to which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission
shall either approve the proposed rule change, disapprove the proposed rule change, disapprove
the proposed rule change, or institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule change
