SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC 

is proposing to extend OMB approval of 

the following information collection: 

Title: Recordkeeping Requirements 

for Securities Transactions—12 CFR 

parts 12 and 151. 

OMB Number: 1557–0142. 

Description: This submission covers 

an existing regulation and involves no 

change to the regulation or to the 

information collection requirements. 

The only revisions to the submission are 

the revised estimates, which have been 

updated. 

The information collection 

requirements in 12 CFR parts 12 and 

151 are required to ensure that national 

banks and savings associations comply 

with securities laws and to improve the 

protection afforded persons who 

purchase and sell securities through 

these financial institutions. The 

transaction confirmation information 

provides customers with a record 

regarding the transaction and provides 

both financial institutions and the OCC 

with records to ensure compliance with 

these institutions and securities laws 

and regulations. The OCC uses the 

required information in its examinations 

to evaluate, among other things, an 

institution’s compliance with the 

antifraud provisions of the Federal 

securities laws. 

The information collection 

requirements contained in 12 CFR parts 

12 and 151 are as follows: 

• 12 CFR 12.3 requires a national 

bank effecting securities transactions for 

customers to maintain records for at 

least three years. The records required 

by this section must clearly and

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 13 / Friday, January 20, 2012 / Notices 3035 

accurately reflect the information 

required and provide an adequate basis 

for the audit of the information. 

• 12 CFR 151.50 establishes the 

minimum recordkeeping requirements 

for savings associations concerning 

securities transactions with their 

customers. Savings associations must 

maintain essential records to track their 

activity in securities transactions. 

• 12 CFR 12.4 requires a national 

bank to give or send to the customer a 

written notification of the transaction or 

a copy of the registered broker/dealer 

confirmation relating to the transaction. 

• 12 CFR 151.70–151.100 establish 

the minimum disclosures needed for 

confirmation of a customer’s security 

transaction. 

• 12 CFR 12.5(a), (b), (c), and (e) 

describe procedures a national bank 

may use as an alternative to complying 

with § 12.4, to notify customers of 

transactions in which the bank does not 

exercise investment discretion, trust 

transactions, agency transactions, and 

certain periodic plan transactions. 

• 12 CFR 151.90 requires savings 

associations to provide the customer a 

written notice, which must give or send 

the written notice at or before the 

completion of the securities 

transactions. 

• 12 CFR 12.7(a)(1) through (a)(3) 

require a national bank to maintain and 

adhere to policies and procedures that 

assign responsibility for supervision of 

employees who perform securities 

trading functions; provide for the fair 

and equitable allocation of securities 

and prices to accounts; and provide for 

crossing of buy and sell orders on a fair 

and equitable basis. 

• 151.140 requires savings 

associations to adopt written policies 

and procedures dealing with the 

functions involved in effecting 

securities transactions on behalf of 

customers. 

• 12 CFR 12.7(a)(4) requires certain 

national bank officers and employees 

involved in the securities trading 

process to report to the bank all 

personal transactions in securities made 

by them or on their behalf in which they 

have a beneficial interest. 

• 12 CFR 151.150 requires certain 

savings association officers and 

employees to report personal 

transactions they make or that are made 

on their behalf in which they have a 

beneficial interest. 

• 12 CFR 12.8 requires a national 

bank seeking a waiver of one or more of 

the requirements of §§ 12.2 through 12.7 

to file a written request for waiver with 

the OCC.
