The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced a proposed rule change made by Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (BZX) to adjust their compliance rules concerning the National Market System Plan Governing the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT NMS Plan). This change aligns with a conditional exemption granted by the SEC, allowing an alternative method for reporting allocation details. The modifications redefine "Allocation" and "Allocation Report" to improve the accuracy and efficiency of data reporting by eliminating unnecessary reporting burdens on executing brokers who do not handle allocations. The rule change aims to ensure that only industry members with complete information about allocations are required to submit reports, thereby enhancing overall regulatory efficiency.

The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC filed a proposed rule change with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to amend its Compliance Rule related to the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT). This proposal seeks to implement an "Allocation Alternative," which changes the reporting requirements for brokers when allocating shares or contracts to client accounts. The changes aim to ease the reporting burden on executing brokers who do not have the necessary data to submit Allocation Reports, ensuring that those with the relevant information, like clearing brokers, take on this task instead. This approach is intended to maintain the regulatory utility of CAT while reducing compliance costs for brokers.
