The CTA Plan and the Nasdaq UTP Plan are joint-industry plans that provide for the dissemination of last sale information for equity securities and set forth the arrangements for dissemination of consolidated trade information. As part of its effort to address the inadequacy of the current level of post-trade transparency of ATSs, the Commission proposed to amend the CTA Plan and Nasdaq UTP Plan to require the disclosure of the identity of individual ATSs on trade reports in the public data stream, the same way exchange trades are identified. First, the proposed Plan amendments would require the disclosure of the identity of those ATSs subject to Regulation ATS on trade reports in the public data steam. Specifically, the proposed Plan amendments, by redefining terms in the Plans, indirectly would require ATSs to include a unique identifier when transmitting last sale price data to FINRA. Second, the proposed Plan amendments would require FINRA to transmit to the SIPs a unique identifier from each ATS subject to Regulation ATS, unless the trade is a large size trade (a trade with a market value of at least $200,000). Third, the proposed Plan amendments would require the SIPs for the Plans to disseminate information provided to them by FINRA.

The joint-industry plans that provide for the dissemination of last sale information for equity securities are the Consolidated Tape Association Plan (“CTA Plan”) and the Joint Self-Regulatory Organization Plan Governing the Collection, Consolidation, and Dissemination of Quotation and Transaction Information for Nasdaq-Listed Securities Traded on Exchanges on an Unlisted Trading Privileges Basis (“Nasdaq UTP Plan”) (collectively “the Plans”). The Plans govern the arrangements for disseminating consolidated trade information. Among other things, the Plans require the individual self-regulatory organizations ("SROs") to provide trade information (including information identifying the exchange where the trade was executed) for a national market system ("NMS") stock to a securities information processor (“SIP”), which then consolidates the information into a single stream for dissemination to the public. As part of its effort to address the inadequacy of the current level of post-trade transparency of alternative trading systems ("ATSs"), the Commission proposed to amend the Plans to require the disclosure of the identity of individual ATSs on trade reports in the public data stream, the same way exchange trades are identified.
