Item: Regulation of Non-Public Trading Interest
Office: Division of Trading and Markets
Staff: James A. Brigagliano, David S. Shillman, Katherine A. England, Michael J. Gaw, Daniel M. Gray

The Commission will consider recommendations to propose amendments to the regulatory requirements that apply to non-public trading interest, including so-called “dark pools” of liquidity. The recommended proposals are to: (1) amend the definition of “bid” or “offer “ in Regulation NMS under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) to address actionable indications of interest; (2) amend the display obligations of alternative trading systems in Regulation ATS under the Exchange Act; and (3) amend the joint-industry plans for disseminating consolidated trade data.
