Section 17A(c) of the Security
Exchange Act of 1934 (the Act) requires
all transfer agents for securities
registered under section 12 of the Act
or, if the security would be required to
be registered except for the exemption
from registration provided by section
12(g)(2)(B) or section 12(g)(2)(G), to
‘‘fil[e] 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.’’ 1 In general, an entity
performing transfer agent functions for a
qualifying security is required to register
with its appropriate regulatory agency
(‘‘ARA’’). The OCC’s regulations at 12
CFR 9.20 implement these provisions of
the Act.
To accomplish the registration of
transfer agents, Form TA–1 was
developed in 1975 as an interagency
effort by the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) and the federal
banking agencies (the OCC, the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation). The agencies
primarily use the data collected on
Form TA–1 to determine whether an
application for registration should be
approved, denied, accelerated, or
postponed, and they use the data in
connection with their supervisory
responsibilities . . . .’’ In addition,

association no longer acts as a transfer
