Abstract
The Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the Act) requires any person acting as
a transfer agent to register as such and
to amend registration information when
it changes. Section 17A(c) of the Act
requires all transfer agents for securities
registered under section 12 of the Act to
register ‘‘by filing with the appropriate
regulatory agency . . . an application
for registration in such form and
containing such information and
documents . . . as such appropriate
regulatory agency may prescribe as
necessary or appropriate in furtherance
of the purposes of this section.’’ In
general, an entity performing transfer
agent functions for a security is required
to register if the security is registered on
a national securities exchange and if the
issuer has total assets of $10 million or
more and a class of equity security held
of record by 500 or more persons.
General Description of Reports
This information collection is
mandatory pursuant to Sections 17A(c),
17(a)(3), and 23(a) of the Act, as

78q(a)(3), and 78w(a)) (FDIC). Sections
12, 13, 14(a), 14(c), 14(d), 14(f), and 16
