The Global Technical Committee has reviewed and preliminarily approved the BenchmarkPriceType Extension. This proposal seeks to provide a new value for field BenchmarkPriceType (663) which would enable an interest rate value to be sent. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The document now enters a public comment period in which public review and feedback is encouraged. Once the public comment period closes, the Global Technical Governance Board will meet to review public comments before final approval.&nbsp;

Please post feedback, comments, and questions as replies to this discussion thread.&nbsp;

A link to the proposal can be found at:&nbsp;

The public comment period ends on September 25, 2013.&nbsp;
