MSRB Launches First Phase of 'MSRB Gateway'

The Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board yesterday launched the first phase of a new electronic "MSRB Gateway" that will serve as a single, secure online portal for market participants and their designated agents to file documents with the board, according to a notice issued by the board last week.

Under phase one of the system, users of MSRB applications can centrally access Form G-40 on electronic mail contacts, Form RTRS on the real-time transaction reporting system, as well as the RTRS Web site, and Form G-37 on political contributions based on each user's account access rights. Primary Contacts, as defined by Rule G-40, can create and manage user accounts and appoint administrators.

Dealers can also designate agents to submit primary market documents on their behalf in connection with the next phase of development of the MSRB's Electronic Municipal Market Access system.

In future phases of the system, users will be able to establish accounts and designate agents for the MSRB's planned continuing disclosure service, the board said. It will hold free training sessions on the system on Nov. 5 and Nov. 6.
