General description of collection: Section 15C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, establishes federal regulation of brokers and dealers of government securities, including banks and other financial institutions, and directs those brokers and dealers to keep certain records.1 These requirements are implemented for state member banks (SMBs) by sections 208.34(c), (d), and (g) of the Board’s Regulation H, which require that non-exempt SMBs 2 effecting securities transactions for customers establish and maintain a system of records of these transactions, furnish confirmations of transactions to customers that disclose certain information, and establish written policies and procedures relating to securities trading. 1 15 U.S.C. 78o–5. requirements of section 208.34 of Regulation H apply to all state member banks that effect more than 500 government securities brokerage transactions per year, unless the institution has filed a written notice, or is required to file notice, with the Board that it acts as a government securities broker or a government securities dealer. These requirements also do not apply to activities of foreign branches of SMBs; activities of nonmember, non-insured trust company subsidiaries of bank holding companies; or activities that are subject to regulations promulgated by the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. In addition, SMBs with an annual average of less than 200 securities transactions for customers over the prior three calendar years (exclusive of transactions in U.S. government and agency obligations) are exempt from these Regulation H recordkeeping and disclosure requirements.
