Information collected on the forms is available to the public upon request and is not considered confidential. Current actions: On July 6, 2022, the Board published a notice in the Federal Register (87 FR 40236) requesting public comment for 60 days on the extension, with revision, of the Form TA–1 and Form TA–W. The Board proposed to utilize its own Form TA–W for respondents to deregister rather than asking respondents to use an SEC form or submit a separate letter, as has been done in the past. This would allow the Board to have its OMB control number on the form and make any changes in the future if necessary. The draft Form TA–W asks the same type of information that is on the SEC deregistration form. The comment period for this notice expired on September 6, 2022. The Board did not receive any comments. The revisions will be implemented as proposed. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
