The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB) today announced that it is extending the deadline for public comment on its approach to compliance support to February 9, 2018.
“The MSRB recognizes that in light of the current focus on Congressional tax reform proposals and year-end schedules, additional time will enable our stakeholders to provide more thoughtful and comprehensive responses on how the MSRB can deliver the most impactful compliance support,” said MSRB Executive Director Lynnette Kelly. “The purpose of the request for comment is to jumpstart a long-term dialogue with stakeholders on how the MSRB can most effectively facilitate compliance. We welcome preliminary input to help us begin to focus our efforts.”
The MSRB first announced its long-term strategic focus on compliance in June 2017 and has since established a Compliance Advisory Group, launched an online Compliance Center and developed a series of virtual compliance workshops, among other activities to support understanding of MSRB rules.
“Continued input from stakeholders is essential to assisting the MSRB in prioritizing, developing and delivering compliance resources that are responsive to the market’s needs,” Kelly said.
