2026 Extensions of Time Filing Schedule

2026 Extensions of Time
Filing Schedule
Summary
FINRA is making available on the FINRA website the Filing Schedule in connection with requests for Federal Reserve Board Regulation T, SEA Rule 15c3-3 and FINRA Rule 4210 extensions of time throughout 2026, including holidays. This information will assist firms with making accurate submissions in connection with filing requests of extensions of time throughout the year, including prior to and after a holiday when the exchanges or banks are closed in 2026. Questions regarding this Notice may be directed to Theresa Reynolds, Senior Credit Regulation Coordinator at (646) 315-8567 or email. Background FINRA Rule 4230(a) requires clearing firms for which FINRA is the designated examining authority pursuant to SEA Rule 17d-1 to submit requests for extensions of time as contemplated by Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System1 (“Regulation T”) and SEA Rule 15c3-3(n)2 to FINRA for approval. Firms are also required to file with FINRA their request for extensions of time to satisfy margin deficiencies pursuant to FINRA Rule 4210.3 FINRA has implemented an automated system for the receipt and processing of such extension of time requests (the REX system). When incorrect dates are submitted in connection with an extension request, the REX system may deny the request, resulting in firms having to resubmit the request with corrected dates. To assist firms in determining the correct filing dates throughout the year, including around holidays observed in 2026, FINRA is providing on the FINRA website a Filing Schedule covering all business days and holidays for extensions in 2026. Firms should use the dates noted in the Filing Schedule when requesting extensions of time in 2026, especially on dates prior to and after any holiday during which exchanges or banks are closed in 2026. 1 Information Notice Suggested Routing X Compliance X Internal Audit X Legal X Municipal/Government Securities X Operations X Trading Key Topic(s) X Extension Filing Due Dates X Settlement Schedule Referenced Rules and Notices X FINRA Rule 4210 X FINRA Rule 4230 X Regulation T 220.4 and 220.8 X SEA Rule 15c3-3 November 7, 2025
