FINRA Rule Filing Status Report

The FINRA Rule Filing Status Report provides firms with a comprehensive list of FINRA rule filings currently pending with the SEC as well as FINRA rule filings approved by the SEC, filed with the SEC for immediate effectiveness, or withdrawn within the last six months. FINRA Dispute Resolution rule filings are currently not included in this report and may be found here.

Click on the specific rule filing number to view more detailed information. 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.
