The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority^TM (FINRA^TM) is responsible for assigning symbols for OTC Bulletin Board^TM (OTCBB^TM) and other over-the-counter equity securities. While other self-regulatory organizations are currently considering different symbology and symbol suffix changes, at this time FINRA has no plans to change its symbology and will continue to issue four and five-character symbols according to its current methodology. Should FINRA make a change to its symbology in the future, it will work with NASDAQ OMX to notify UTP Level 1 subscribers. Please note that FINRA coordinates symbol assignments through the Intermarket Symbols Reservation Authority (ISRA), to insure that there is no duplicate symbol assignment within the U.S. equities market.
