On Thursday, July 9, 2020 at 11 am ET, Consolidated Audit Trail, LLC and FINRA CAT, LLC will host an industry webinar to highlight the customer and account reporting requirements of the CAT NMS Plan and give an overview of the CAT Reporting Customer and Account Technical Specifications for Industry Members-CCID DRAFT v2.0.

The reporting of Customer Identifying Information and Customer Account Information consists of two phases, an earlier phase in which Industry Members must report to the CAT certain account information regarding account holders with a Large Trader Identification (LTID) number or an Unidentified Large Trader Identification (ULTID) number pursuant to SEC Rule 13h-1 (collectively called “LTID Account Information”), and a later phase that requires Industry Members to report all Customer Identifying Information and Customer Account Information.

Industry Members must record in their systems the date that an LTID or ULTID becomes associated with an FDID (“LTID Effective Date”). Some Industry Members may have to change current onboarding activities to ensure this information is obtained and recorded. 

If an Industry Member has not recorded the LTID Effective Date, they may use the go-live date as the ltidEffectiveDate until the go-live date. Starting on the go-live date, Industry Members must record and report an accurate LTID Effective Date. 

Industry Members should make an effort to obtain an accurate reason as to why the LTID or ULTID is no longer associated to the FDID. 

Industry Members are only required to report LTIDs for active accounts. That is, accounts for which there is CAT reportable activity.

The ltidEndDate is the date the Industry Member became aware that the LTID or ULTID was no longer associated with the FDID.
