The Commission has proposed to require that broker-dealers use a Commission schema and associated PDF renderer to provide customers with data on retail and institutional order handling, and provide the public with aggregate data on order handling.  See Release No. 34-78309 (July 13, 2016), 81 FR 49431 (July 27, 2016).  Instructions for participating in the public comment process for the rule proposal are provided in the proposing release, available at https://www.sec.gov/rules/proposed/2016/34-78309.pdf.

The draft 2016 Order Handling Data schema and report renderer for broker-dealers and the corresponding draft technical specification are available at https://www.sec.gov/page/derataxonomies.  Comments on the draft 2016 schema, report renderer, and technical specification may be provided by email to StructuredData@sec.gov and should include “Draft 2016 Order Handling Data Schema” in the subject header.  Please provide comments by September 26, 2016.
