Publications Order Form

The Board’s web site (www.msrb.org) contains useful information for dealers, municipal securities investors and the general public. The Board is alerting industry participants to the availability of e-mail notification of important notices, including information about proposed and final amendments to rules, significant rule interpretations and MSRB services, as they are added to the Board’s web site. E-mail notification provides dealers with the most timely communications available regarding new regulatory developments.

The Board strongly encourages all dealers, and other industry participants, to subscribe to the Board’s e-mail notification service by providing the Board with an e-mail address. Dealers and others who wish to subscribe to the Board’s e-mail notification service can do so by completing the form on the front cover of this issue of MSRB Reports, or by subscribing electronically through the home page of the Board’s web site.

While the Board currently distributes hard copy versions of MSRB Reports on a periodic basis free of charge, subscribers to the e-mail notification service will receive e-mail notification of information as it becomes publicly available prior to its publication in MSRB Reports. In the future, the Board may consider the discontinuation of complimentary copies of MSRB Reports with the understanding that the Board will alert dealers and others via their e-mail addresses of the posting of new notices and other information to the Board’s web site.
