A clean presentation for a reporting OTCBB or PinkSheet company to become FAST for the first time can be very slow. Issues that will quicken the process are, a) not only being reporting but not missing or being late with any reports; b) having very few name changes or reverse splits in the last 5 years; c) having no people associated with the company that have ever been under investigation; d) having no record of being involved in a spam campaign, pump and dump scheme, or other fraudulent activities through the years that would raise AML / Anti Money Laundering or OFAC / Office of Foreign Assets Control issues; and, e) having no record of unregistered resales at brokerages - especially among the affiliates of the company.

Would these just make it difficult for them to become FAST eligible or are they some of the factors that lead to a company becoming non-DTCC eligible altogether? If so it seems like that would cull the herd considerably.
