Note that there may be a short delay (up to 2 business days) between the filing of a rule change with the SEC and the posting of the rule filing on FINRA's Web site. As a result, during this time period, a rule change may be referenced on the Rule Filing Status Report but not yet appear elsewhere on the FINRA site.
