SEC Proposes Extending Regulations ATS and SCI to Treasuries and Other Government Securities Markets

The SEC has issued a proposed rule, Regulation ATS for ATSs that Trade U.S. Government Securities, NMS Stock, and Other Securities; Regulation SCI for ATSs that Trade U.S. Treasury Securities and Agency Securities; and Electronic Corporate Bond and Municipal Securities Markets. The proposal would require “Government Securities ATSs to file comprehensive public disclosures on new FORM ATS-G” and to apply the “provisions to ATSs that meet certain trading volume thresholds in U.S. Treasury securities or agency securities” to Regulation SCI.
