Agency Form Number: Form MSD–4;
Form MSD–5.
OMB Control Number: 7100–0100;
7100–0101.
Frequency: On occasion.
Reporters: State member banks, bank
holding companies, and foreign dealer
banks that are municipal securities
dealers.
Estimated Annual Reporting Hours:
Form MSD–4, 20 hours; Form MSD–5,
13 hours.
Estimated Average Hours per
Response: Form MSD–4, 1 hour; Form
MSD–5, 0.25 hours.
Number of Respondents: Form MSD–
4, 20; Form MSD–5, 50.
General description of report: The
Board’s Legal Division has determined
that Sections 15B(a)–(b) and 17 of the
Securities Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78o–
4(a)–(b) and 78q) authorize the SEC and
MSRB to promulgate rules requiring
municipal security dealers to file
registration reports about associated
persons with the SEC and the ARA. In
addition, Section 15B(c) of the Act
provides that ARAs may enforce
compliance with the SEC’s and MSRB’s
rules. 15 U.S.C. 78o–4(c). Section 23(a)
of the Act also authorizes the SEC, the
Board, and the other ARAs to make
rules and regulations in order to
implement the provisions of the Act. 15
U.S.C. 78w(a). The Board is the ARA for
bank municipal securities dealers that
are savings and loan holding companies,
state member banks (including their
divisions or departments), and bank
holding companies (including a
subsidiary bank of the bank holding
company if the subsidiary does not
already report to another ARA or to the
SEC, and any divisions, departments or
subsidiaries of that subsidiary).11 15
U.S.C. 78c(a)(34)(A)(ii). The Board is
also the ARA for state branches or
agencies of foreign banks that are
municipal securities dealers.12
11 Currently, the instructions to Form MSD–4 and
to Form MSD–5 do not explicitly state that a
savings and loan holding company (‘‘SLHC’’) or a
bank holding company (‘‘BHC’’) is required to file
these forms with the Board. These instructions will
be amended to make this requirement explicit, and
the forms will be revised to include a Privacy Act
notice.
12 Although Section 3(a)(34) of the Act, 15 U.S.C.
78c(a)(34), does not specify the ARA for municipal
securities dealer activities of foreign banks,
uninsured state branches or state agencies of foreign
banks, commercial lending companies owned or
controlled by a foreign bank, or Edge Act
corporations (collectively referred to as foreign
dealer banks), the Division of Market Regulation of
the SEC has agreed that the Federal Reserve should
examine the municipal securities dealer activities of
foreign dealer banks. See Letter from Catherine
McGuire, Chief Counsel, SEC’s Division of Market
Regulation, to Laura M. Homer, Assistant Director,
Federal Reserve Board’s Division of Banking
Supervision and Regulation, June 14, 1994.

Accordingly, the Board’s collection of
Form MSD–4 and Form MSD–5 for
these institutions is authorized pursuant
to 15 U.S.C. 78o–4, 78q and 78w.
The Board is also authorized to
require that state member banks and
their departments file reports with the
Board pursuant to Section 11(a)(1) of the
Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. 248(a)(1).
Branches and agencies of foreign banks
are also subject to the reporting
requirements of section 11(a)(1) of the
Federal Reserve Act pursuant to Section
7(c)(2) of the International Banking Act,
12 U.S.C. 3105(c)(2). In addition,
Section 10(b)(2) of the Home Owners’
Loan Act authorizes the Board to require
SLHCs to file ‘‘such reports as may be
required by the Board’’ and instructs
that such reports ‘‘shall contain such
information concerning the operations
of such savings and loan holding
company and its subsidiaries as the
Board may require.’’ 12 U.S.C.
1467a(b)(2), as amended by section 369
of the Dodd-Frank Act.
The obligation to file the forms with
the Board is mandatory for those
financial institutions for which the
Board serves as the ARA, and the filing
of both forms is event generated.
The data collected on Forms MSD–4
and MSD–5 is compiled in a ‘‘system of
records’’ within the meaning of the
Privacy Act. 5 U.S.C. 552a(a)(5). In
1977, the Board formally designated a
system of records for Forms MSD–4 and
MSD–5. See 4 Fed. Res. Reg. Service
¶ 8–350 (42 FR 16,854 (Mar. 30,
1977)).13 The Privacy Act prohibits the
Board from disclosing the information
collected on the forms unless certain
exceptions apply that would permit
disclosure. 5 U.S.C. 552a(b).
Abstract: These mandatory
information collections are submitted
on occasion by state member banks
(SMBs), bank holding companies
(BHCs), savings and loan holding
companies (‘‘SLHCs’’), and foreign
dealer banks that are municipal
securities dealers.14 The Form MSD–4
collects information (such as personal
history and professional qualifications)
on an employee whom the bank wishes
to assume the duties of municipal
securities principal or representative.
The Form MSD–5 collects the date of,
and reason for, termination of such an
employee.
On August 4, 2014, the Municipal
Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB)
13 In 2008, the Board updated all of the Board’s
existing systems of records, including the system of
records for Forms MSD–4 and MSD–5 (BGFRS–17).
See 73 FR 24,984, 24,999 (May 6, 2008).
14 At this time, there are no SLHCs or foreign
dealer banks that are registered as municipal
securities dealers.

(MSRB Notice 2014–13) announced the
creation of a new designation of
registered person—Limited
Representative—Investment Company
and Variable Contracts Products—which
is a sub-category of Municipal Securities
Representative.15 To conform to MSRB
Notice 2011–54, the Federal Reserve
Board proposes to make a minor
revision to the Form MSD–4 to add the
Limited Representative—Investment
Company and Variable Contracts
Products as a new type of qualification.
The Federal Reserve Board also
proposes to require electronic
submission of both the Form MSD–4
and Form MSD–5 to a secure Federal
Reserve Board email address. The total
annual reporting burden for these
reporting forms is estimated to be 33
hours. A draft copy of the revised Form
MSD–4 and Form MSD–5 reporting
forms and instructions are attached.
Current Actions: On February 19,
2016 the Federal Reserve published a
notice in the Federal Register (81 FR
8494) requesting public comment for 60
days on the extension, with revision, of
the Form MSD–4 and Form MSD–5. The
comment period for this notice expired
on April 19, 2016. The Federal Reserve
did not receive any comments. The
revisions will be implemented as
proposed.

Proposed Project
Generic Clearance for the Collection
of Qualitative Feedback on Agency
Service Delivery (OMB 0920–1050, exp.
2/28/2018)—Revision—Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
As part of a Federal Government-wide
effort to streamline the process to seek
feedback from the public on service
delivery, the CDC has submitted a
Generic Information Collection Request
(Generic ICR): ‘‘Generic Clearance for
the Collection of Qualitative Feedback
on Agency Service Delivery ’’ to OMB
for approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et.
seq.).
To request additional information,
please contact Leroy A. Richardson,

Disease Control and Prevention, 1600

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for the
Collection of Qualitative Feedback on
Agency Service Delivery.
Abstract: The information collection
activity will garner qualitative customer
and stakeholder feedback in an efficient,
timely manner, in accordance with the
Administration’s commitment to
improving service delivery. By
qualitative feedback we mean
information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.

Feedback collected under this generic
clearance will provide useful
information, but it will not yield data
that can be generalized to the overall
population. This type of generic
clearance for qualitative information
will not be used for quantitative
information collections that are
designed to yield reliably actionable
results, such as monitoring trends over
time or documenting program
performance. Such data uses require
more rigorous designs that address: The
target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
This is a revision to a previously
approved collection of information.
Respondents will be screened and
selected from Individuals and
Households, Businesses, Organizations,
and/or State, Local or Tribal
Government. This revision adds
respondents and burden hours to the
previous approval to allow for
additional data collections. Below are
projected annualized estimates for the
next three years. There is no cost to
respondents other than their time. The
estimated annualized burden hours for
this data collection activity are 20,250.
