The updated formats establish a USD 25,000 threshold for Forms R and IRV while mandating immediate implementation and strict responsibility bifurcation across appendices V-7 and V-121. Authorized dealers must digitalize customer data collection under these appendices by June 30, 2026 and ensure full compliance across all constituent transactions.
