General Description of Report:
Sections 701, 723, and 741 contain
information collection requirements.
Details of the requirements for each
section are provided below.
Section 701. Section 701(a)(2)(i) and
(b) require banks (or their broker-dealer
partners) that utilize the exemption
provided in this section to make certain
disclosures to high net worth or
institutional customers. Specifically,
these banks must clearly and
conspicuously disclose (i) the name of
the broker-dealer and (ii) that the bank
employee participates in an incentive
compensation program under which the
bank employee may receive a fee of
more than a nominal amount for
referring the customer to the brokerdealer and payment of this fee may be
contingent on whether the referral
results in a transaction with the brokerdealer.
In addition, one of the conditions of
the exemption is that the broker-dealer
and the bank have a contractual or other
written arrangement containing certain
elements, including notification and
information requirements. The bank
must provide its broker-dealer partner
with the name of the bank employee
receiving a referral fee under the
exemption and certain other identifying
information relating to the bank
employee.
Section 723. Section 723(e)(1)
requires a bank that desires to exclude
a trust or fiduciary account in
determining its compliance with the
chiefly compensated test in section 721,
pursuant to a de minimis exclusion, to
maintain records demonstrating that the
securities transactions conducted by or
on behalf of the account were
undertaken by the bank in the exercise
of its trust or fiduciary responsibilities
with respect to the account.
Section 741. Section 741(a)(2)(ii)(A)
requires a bank relying on this
exemption, which permits banks to
effect transactions in the shares of a
money market fund, to provide
customers with a prospectus for the
money market fund securities, not later
than the time the customer authorizes
the bank to effect the transaction in such
securities, if the class or series of
securities are not no-load. In situations
where a bank effects transactions under
the exemption as part of a program for
the investment or reinvestment of
deposit funds of, or collected by,
another bank, the Section permits either
the effecting bank or the deposit-taking
bank to provide the customer a
prospectus for the money market fund
securities.

Legal authorization and
confidentiality: The Board’s Legal
Division has determined that section
3(a)(4)(F) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C.
78c(a)(4)(F)) authorizes the Board and
the SEC to require the information
collection. The FR 4025 is required to
obtain a benefit because banks wishing
to utilize exemptions provided by the
rules 701, 723, and 741 are required to
comply with the recordkeeping and
disclosure requirements. If an
institution considers the information to
be trade secrets and/or privileged such
information could be withheld from the
public under the authority of the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4)). Additionally, to the extent
that such information may be contained
in an examination report such
information maybe also be withheld
from the public (5 U.S.C. 552 (b)(8)).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Purpose
GSA’s Federal Supply Schedule (FSS)
program, commonly known as the GSA
Schedules program or Multiple Award
Schedule (MAS) program provides
federal agencies with a simplified
process for acquiring commercial
supplies and services. The FSS program
is the Government’s preeminent
contracting vehicle, accounting for
approximately 10 percent of all federal
contract dollars with $33 billion of
purchases made through the program in
fiscal year 2016.
Activities placing orders against a
GSA Schedule contract must pay an
Industrial Funding Fee (IFF) that
reimburses GSA’s Federal Acquisition
Service (FAS) for the costs of operating
the FSS program. FAS recoups its
operating costs from ordering activities
(i.e. customers) as set forth in 40 U.S.C.
321: Acquisition Services Fund. Net
operating revenues generated by the IFF
are also applied to fund initiatives

Estimated annual burden hours: 75,563.
General Description of Report: Sections 701, 723, and 741 contain
information collection requirements. Details of the requirements for
each section are provided below.
Section 701. Section 701(a)(2)(i) and (b) require banks (or their
broker-dealer partners) that utilize the exemption provided in this
section to make certain disclosures to high net worth or institutional
customers. Specifically, these banks must clearly and conspicuously

In addition, one of the conditions of the exemption is that the

arrangement containing certain elements, including notification and

partner with the name of the bank employee receiving a referral fee

Section 723. Section 723(e)(1) requires a bank that desires to
exclude a trust or fiduciary account in determining its compliance with
the chiefly compensated test in section 721, pursuant to a de minimis
exclusion, to maintain records demonstrating that the securities

effecting bank or the deposit-taking bank to provide the customer a
prospectus for the money market fund securities.

has determined that section 3(a)(4)(F) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C.
78c(a)(4)(F)) authorizes the Board and the SEC to require the
information collection. The FR 4025 is required to obtain a benefit
