SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background
The Federal Reserve is developing an
electronic system for the submission of
applications, notices, and other requests
for regulatory authorization
(collectively, filings) by filers to the
Federal Reserve. The Government
Paperwork Elimination Act of 1998
(GPEA) generally requires federal
executive agencies to use electronic
forms and electronic filings to conduct
official business with the public when
practicable. The Federal Reserve, which
complies with GPEA, has elected to
provide a web-based system for the
electronic submission of filings, in order
to reduce substantially the Federal
Reserve’s reliance on its current, paperbased submission processes. This
electronic system, E-Apps, is currently
under development.
Although the use of E-Apps would be
voluntary for filers, the Federal Reserve
anticipates that the electronic
submission of filings through E-Apps
would reduce the burden filers
experience with current requirements
for paper-based submissions. Therefore,
filers who voluntarily choose to submit
filings through E-Apps would save the
time and expense associated with
photocopying and mailing or otherwise
filing copies.
In order to provide sufficient
assurances of authentication, data
integrity, data confidentiality and nonrepudiation, and sufficient security for
the information transmitted in filed
documents, filers and their designated
agents must be authenticated to access
E-Apps and submit filings to the Federal
Reserve. Filers or their designated
representatives (employees or agents)
who elect to submit filings through EApps will be required to first obtain

Jkt 214001
digital certificates from the Federal
Reserve. The process for requesting
certificates will be similar to the process
currently in place for using certain
financial services provided by the
Federal Reserve. Information, forms,
and instructions regarding the certificate
request process will be available on the
Federal Reserve’s public Web site
(https://www.federalreserve.gov/).
II. Testing and Enrollment
This notice announces the voluntary
testing and mandatory enrollment for EApps. Enrollment is mandatory only if
the filer elects to use the E-Apps system.
As discussed below, the testing and
enrollment will be conducted in two
phases: The Pilot phase and the System
Enrollment and Implementation phase.
The Federal Reserve anticipates that the
phases will be conducted according to
the following schedule: The Pilot phase
would be conducted for approximately
two months during the second quarter
of 2008. The System Enrollment and
Implementation phase would begin in
the fourth quarter of 2008 with
Enrollment and continue with
Implementation beginning in the first
quarter of 2009.
As part of the testing, each
participating filer would be expected to
enroll in E-Apps. The Federal Reserve
would issue digital certificates to
properly documented subscribers.
• Pilot Phase: This phase would
begin approximately in June 2008 and
would be conducted for two months.
The Pilot phase would include
approximately twenty filers and
subscribers (individuals who are
authorized to submit filings on behalf of
filers) as voluntary participants.
Participants in the Pilot phase would
access the E-Apps system and would
submit at least one filing through the EApps system on behalf of each filer.
The Federal Reserve would distribute
filing instructions to each participating
filer and subscriber and provide
assistance as necessary. Pilot phase
participants would be asked to provide
written and oral feedback regarding the
certificate and filing processes, the EApps system, and any customer support
they receive during the Pilot phase. The
comments and recommendations
received from the participants would be
analyzed to identify issues. The Pilot
phase, along with the feedback, would
help the Federal Reserve identify any

unresolved issues with the E-Apps
system before the System Enrollment
and Implementation Timeframe.
• System Enrollment and
Implementation Phase: Enrollment in
the E-Apps System would be available
for all filers and their designated
representatives (employees or agents)
beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008,
and would be mandatory for filers who
want to submit filings to the Federal
Reserve through E-Apps. Filers and
subscribers that participated in the Pilot
phase would be able to submit filings
using the certificates previously issued
to them. All other filers and their
designated representatives would be
required to submit the appropriate
paperwork and follow the digital
certificate request procedures outlined
above. Implementation of the E-Apps
System would begin in the first quarter
of 2009.
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, April 24, 2008.

Deputy Secretary of the Board.
