		These pilot trading systems will be subject to specific conditions, including limitations on their trading volumes.[29] The purpose of this new rule is to provide registered exchanges and national securities associations with a greater opportunity to compete with alternative trading systems registered as broker-dealers and with foreign markets.
		Nevertheless, it seems unlikely that an alternative trading system would choose to create a separate alternative trading system for its government securities trading solely for the privilege of trading government securities on a system with lesser capacity, integrity, and security than the system on which other securities are traded.
		Alternative trading systems are currently required to report most of this information on Part I of Form 17A-23, which the Commission proposed to repeal.[167] Form ATS is not an application and the Commission would not "approve" an alternative trading system before it began to operate.
