Abstract

The Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHC Act) and Board’s Regulation Y - Bank Holding Companies and Change in Bank Control (12 CFR 225) require a bank holding company (BHC) to seek the prior approval of the Board before purchasing or redeeming its equity securities in certain circumstances. Due to the limited information that a BHC must provide in connection with any such request, there is no required reporting form, and each request for prior approval is generally filed 30 days before the proposed stock purchase or redemption as a notification with the Reserve Bank that has direct supervisory responsibility for the requesting BHC. The Federal Reserve uses the information provided in the redemption notice to supervise BHCs.

Abstract

This interagency guidance states that certain financial institutions should establish and maintain written policies and procedures for identifying, evaluating, assessing, documenting, and controlling risks associated with complex structured finance transactions (CSFTs) and should retain certain documents related to elevated risk CSFTs, which are a subcategory of CSFTs. The FR 4022 covers these information collections for financial institutions that are subject to the Statement and that are supervised by the Board, which are state member banks, bank holding companies (other than foreign banking organizations), savings and loan holding companies (SLHCs), and U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks.

Abstract

The BE-13, Survey of New Foreign Direct Investment in the United States, collects information on the acquisition and establishment of U.S. business enterprises by foreign investors and on expansions by existing U.S. affiliates of foreign companies. The data collected through the survey are used to measure the amount of new foreign direct investment in the United States and assess its impact on the U.S. economy. The survey also ensures complete coverage of BEA’s other foreign direct investment statistics. The survey is authorized by the International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act.Emergency Justfication:BEA is requesting emergency review due to extended review of the change to reporting requirements for this survey by OGC which lead to a significant decrease in burden. This extended review delayed publication of the final rule until less than 30 days before the current expiration date.

Abstract

The voluntary FR 2248 is collected monthly as of the last calendar day of the month from a stratified sample of finance companies. Each monthly report collects balance sheet data on major categories of consumer and business credit receivables and on major short-term liabilities. For quarter-end months (March, June, September, and December), additional asset and liability items are collected to provide a full balance sheet. A supplemental section collects data on securitized assets. Board staff may ask either quantitative or qualitative questions through the use of a special addendum section no more than twice per year. The data are used to construct universe estimates of finance company holdings, which are published in the monthly statistical releases Finance Companies (G.20) and Consumer Credit (G.19), and in the quarterly statistical release Financial Accounts of the United States (Z.1).

Abstract

This is to request the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) three-year renewal with change of the information collection titled, “Rail Carrier and Tank Car Tanks Requirements, Rail Tank Car Tanks – Transportation of Hazardous Materials by Rail” under OMB Control No. 2137-0559, which is currently due to expire on November 30, 2026. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has collected information related to transportation by rail car since the creation of the DOT in 1967. This OMB control number was first approved on March 7, 1984, and was initiated as a result of an information collection for the approval of tank cars for Hyrdocyancic Acid Service. This OMB Control Number was broadened on January 17, 1986, to include rail carrier and tank car requirements that contained information collections. The requested change stems from a final rule published on June 24, 2024, titled “Hazardous Materials: FAST Act Requirements for Real-Time Train Consist Information” [HM-263; 89 FR 52956], which require all railroads to generate in electronic form, maintain, and provide to first responders, emergency response officials, and law enforcement personnel, certain information regarding hazardous materials in rail transportation to enhance emergency response and investigative efforts.

Abstract

Under Section 15B(a) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78o-4(a)), municipal securities dealers which are banks, or separately identifiable departments or divisions of banks (collectively, “bank municipal securities dealers”) are required to be registered with the Commission in accordance with such rules as the Commission may prescribe as necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors. Under Section 15B(c) of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78o-4(c)), any registered municipal securities dealer may, upon such terms and conditions as the Commission may deem necessary in the public interest or for the protection of investors, withdraw from registration by filing a written notice of withdrawal with the Commission. Rule 15Ba2-1 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-1) provides that an application for registration by a bank municipal securities dealer must be filed on Form MSD (17 CFR 249.1100). Rule 15Ba2-1 further provides that if the information contained in any application for registration on Form MSD, or in any amendment to such application, is or becomes inaccurate for any reason, the applicant must promptly file an amendment on Form MSD correcting such information. Rule 15Ba2-4 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-4) permits the successor to a registered municipal securities dealer to assume immediate responsibility for the operation of the predecessor’s business provided certain requirements are met, including the filing of a successor application on Form MSD. Rule 15Bc3-1 (17 CFR 240.15Bc3-1) provides that bank municipal securities dealers that wish to withdraw from registration must file a notice of withdrawal from registration on Form MSDW (17 CFR 249.1110). Rule 15Bc3-1 further provides that, prior to filing a notice of withdrawal from registration on Form MSDW, a bank municipal securities dealer must amend Form MSD in accordance with Rule 15Ba2-1(b) to update any inaccurate information. Rule 15Ba2-5 (17 CFR 240.15Ba2-5) permits a duly appointed (or duly qualified) fiduciary to assume immediate responsibility for the operation of a registered municipal securities dealer’s business. Under the rule, the registration of a municipal securities dealer is deemed to be the registration of any fiduciary, appointed or qualified by order, judgment, or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction to continue the business of such municipal securities dealer, provided that such fiduciary files with the Commission, within 30 days after entering upon the performance of his duties, a statement setting forth as to such fiduciary substantially the same information required by Form MSD or Form BD (“Rule 15Ba2-5 Statement”). The Commission uses the information obtained from Form MSD, Form MSDW, and Rule 15Ba2-5 Statement filings to, among other things, determine whether bank municipal securities dealers, their Rule 15Ba2-4 successors, and their Rule 15Ba2-5 fiduciaries meet the standards for registration set forth in the Exchange Act, and whether it is in the public interest to permit a bank municipal securities dealer to withdraw its registration. Certain provisions of Rule 15Ba2-4 and Rule 15Bc3-1 apply to non-bank municipal securities dealers which make registration filings on the standard forms for brokers and dealers (Form BD instead of Form MSD, and Form BDW instead of Form MSDW). Burden estimates for such non-bank municipal securities dealers are accounted for in the Supporting Statements for Form BD (OMB Control No. 3235-0012) and Form BDW (OMB Control No. 3235-0018) and are not included herein.

Abstract

The Federal Reserve Act (FRA) requires a state member bank to seek prior approval of the Board before making an investment in bank premises or the securities of a corporation holding its bank premises in certain circumstances. The Board has implemented this requirement in its Regulation H - Membership of State Banking Institutions in the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR Part 208), which requires a state member bank seeking to make such an investment to provide prior notice to the appropriate Federal Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve uses the information provided in the notice to determine whether to object to the proposed investment.

Abstract

Section 14(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) relates to the replacement of a majority of the directors of an issuer in connection with an acquisition subject to Sections 13(d) or 14(d) of such Act. Section 14(f) requires the issuer to provide all holders of record of securities of the issuer who would be entitled to vote at a meeting for election of directors and the Commission, in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission, information concerning the replacement of directors that is substantially equivalent to that information which would be required by Section 14(a) or Section 14(c) if such persons were nominees for election as directors at a meeting of security holders. In order to facilitate compliance with Section 14(f), the Commission adopted Rule 14f-1 (17 CFR 240.14f-1), pursuant to Sections 13(d) and 13(e) as well as Sections 14(d) and 14(f). The rule requires that, not less than 10 days prior to the time the persons elected or designated as directors of the issuer take office, or such shorter period as the Commission may authorize, the issuer shall file with the Commission and transmit to all holders of record of securities of the issuer, information required by certain items of the Commission’s proxy rules. The rule is needed by the Commission to fulfill its statutory responsibility to prescribe the necessary rules and regulations for the protection of investors by requiring an issuer to apprise its security holders of record and the Commission of a prospective change in the majority of the board of directors of the company where such change is to be effected other than at a meeting of security holders and of information about the issuer’s prospective new directors. The information filed with the Commission assures the public availability and dissemination of such information. Private contractors reproduce much of the filed information and provide it to private parties. Many other persons obtain information directly from the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) system, through which filings under the rule are made. This information is needed by security holders, investors, brokers, dealers, investment banking firms, professional securities analysts, and others in evaluating securities and making investment and voting decisions. If the information were not collected, the information the Commission deems necessary for the protection of investors regarding a prospective change in directors would not be available to the investing public prior to the time the change was actually effected.

Abstract

Absent an available exemption, the Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) requires that a registration statement be filed with the Commission disclosing prescribed categories of information before securities may be offered for sale. Where a registration statement is required, securities may not be sold to the public until the registration statement becomes effective. Congress recognized that in some situations there may not be a need for registration in connection with offers and sales of securities; it provided a number of exemptions from Securities Act registration and provided the Commission with authority to adopt exemptions from Securities Act registration. Rule 701 (17 CFR 230.701) provides an exemption from Securities Act registration for an issuer that is not subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“non-reporting issuer”) for offers and sales of securities under a written compensatory benefit plan or written compensation contract established by the issuer (or its parents, its majority-owned subsidiaries, or majority-owned subsidiaries of the issuer’s parent) for the participation of their employees, directors, general partners, trustees, officers, or consultants and advisors, and their family members who acquire such securities from such persons through gifts or domestic relations orders. The total sales price or maximum amount of securities that may be sold under Rule 701 during any consecutive 12-month period must not exceed the greatest of: (1) $1 million, (2) 15% of the total assets of the issuer (or its parent company if the issuer is a wholly-owned subsidiary, subject to certain conditions), or (3) 15% of the outstanding amount of the class of securities being offered and sold in reliance on Rule 701. All issuers relying on Rule 701 must deliver to investors a copy of the compensatory benefit plan or contract. In addition, if the total sales price or amount of securities sold during any consecutive 12-month period exceeds $10 million, the issuer must deliver the following additional disclosure to investors a reasonable period before the date of sale (or, for derivative securities, including options, the date of exercise or conversion, or, for deferred compensation or similar plans, the date the irrevocable election to defer is made): (1) a copy of the summary plan description required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) or, if the plan is not subject to ERISA, a summary of the material terms of the plan, (2) information about risks associated with investment in the securities, (3) the financial statements required to be furnished by Part F/S of Form 1-A under Regulation A, and (4) parent financial statements (where the issuer uses its parent’s total assets to determine the amount of securities that may be sold). The purpose of Rule 701 is to enable non-reporting issuers to compensate employees and others without registering an offer and sale of securities under the Securities Act, while requiring issuers, as a condition of reliance on the rule, to provide investors with certain information that is important to investment decision making.

Abstract

Sections 641, 641A (codified at 45 CFR 1301 to 1305), 642 to 645A, 648A, 653 to 657A of the Head Start Act (the Act) prescribes requirements eligible entities must meet in order to receive funding under the Act. Applicants are required to demonstrate that they are or will meet Head Start requirements when submitting applications for funding under the Act. To receive Head Start funding, Head Start grant recipients must apply for such funds. The Head Start Grant Application is used by the Office of Head Start to gather the necessary information from eligible entities applying for Head Start funding. This collection targets current Head Start grantees submitting non-competitive applications, including those applying for baseline funding (first year of a new grant period) and continuation funding (subsequent years in a project period). ACF requested changes to reduce the burden of these requirements related to documentation while still meeting the requirements under the Act. See Supporting Statement A for additional information. This request was approved but the final version of the Supporting Statement A was not included with the documents for approval. This nonsubstantive change updates to include the correct version.
