This section provides for the registration
of transfer agents within the appropriate
regulatory agencies (including the
Federal Reserve under 15 U.S.C.
78c(a)(34)(B)(ii). The data collected are
not given confidential treatment.
Abstract: Banks, BHCs, and trust
companies subject to the Federal
Reserve’s supervision that are lowvolume transfer agents voluntarily file
the notice on occasion with the Federal
Reserve. Transfer agents are institutions
that provide securities transfer,
registration, monitoring, and other
specified services on behalf of securities
issuers. The purpose of the notice,
which is effective until the agent
withdraws it, is to claim exemption
from certain rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). The Federal Reserve uses the
notices for supervisory purposes
because the SEC has assigned to the
Federal Reserve responsibility for
collecting the notices and verifying their
accuracy through examinations of the
respondents. There is no formal
reporting form and each notice is filed
as a letter.
Current Actions: On April 15, 2013,
the Federal Reserve published a notice
in the Federal Register (78 FR 22261)
seeking public comment for 60 days on
the extension, with revision, of the FR
4013. The comment period for this
notice expired on June 14, 2013. The
Federal Reserve did not receive any
comments. The revision will be
implemented as proposed.
Final approval under OMB delegated
authority of the extension for three
years, without revision, of the following
reports:
1. Report title: Request for Extension
of Time to Dispose of Assets Acquired
in Satisfaction of Debts Previously
Contracted.
Agency form number: FR 4006.
OMB control number: 7100–0129.
Frequency: Annual.
Reporters: BHCs.
Annual reporting hours: 885 hours.
Estimated average hours per response:
5 hours.
Number of respondents: 177.
General description of report: This
information collection is required to
obtain a benefit pursuant to sections 4(a)
and 4(c)(2) of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C.
1843(a) and (c)(2)) and may be given
confidential treatment upon request.
The Federal Reserve has established a
procedure for requesting an extension in
its Regulation Y (12 CFR 225.22(d)(1)
and 225.140).
Abstract: A BHC that acquired voting
securities or assets through foreclosure
in the ordinary course of collecting a
debt previously contracted may not

retain ownership of those shares or
assets for more than two years without
prior Federal Reserve approval. There is
no formal reporting form and each
request for extension must be filed at
the appropriate Reserve Bank of the
BHC. The Federal Reserve uses the
information provided in the request to
fulfill its statutory obligation to
supervise BHCs.
Current actions: On April 15, 2013,
the Federal Reserve published a notice
in the Federal Register (78 FR 22261)
seeking public comment for 60 days on
the extension, without revision, of the
FR 4006. The comment period for this
notice expired on June 14, 2013. The

comments.

Notification.

Frequency: On occasion.
Reporters: BHCs.
Reporters: BHCs.
Annual reporting hours: 155 hours.
Estimated average hours per response:
15.5 hours.
Number of respondents: 10.
General description of report: This
information collection is mandatory
pursuant to Sections 5(b) and (c) of the
BHC Act (12 U.S.C. 1844(b) and (c)) and
is generally not given confidential
treatment. However, a respondent may
request that the information be kept
confidential on a case-by-case basis.
Abstract: The BHC Act and
Regulation Y generally require a BHC to
seek prior Federal Reserve approval
before purchasing or redeeming its
equity securities. Given that a BHC is
exempt from this requirement if it meets
certain financial, managerial, and
supervisory standards, only a small
portion of proposed stock redemptions
actually require the prior approval of
the Federal Reserve. There is no formal
reporting form. The Federal Reserve
uses the information provided in the
redemption notice to fulfill its statutory
obligation to supervise BHCs.
Current actions: On April 15, 2013,
the Federal Reserve published a notice
in the Federal Register (78 FR 22261)
seeking public comment for 60 days on
the extension, without revision, of the
FR 4008. The comment period for this

General description of report: This
information collection is required to
obtain a benefit pursuant to Section
24A(a) of the Federal Reserve Act (12
U.S.C. 371d(a)) and is not given

respondent may request confidential
treatment for all or part of a notification,
which would be reviewed on a case-bycase basis.
Abstract: The Federal Reserve Act
requires SMBs to seek prior Federal
Reserve approval before making an
investment in bank premises that
exceeds certain thresholds. There is no
formal reporting form, and each
required request for prior approval must
be filed as a notification with the
appropriate Reserve Bank of the SMB.
The Federal Reserve uses the
information provided in the notice to
fulfill its statutory obligation to
supervise SMBs.
