AGENCY: Board of Governors of the 

Federal Reserve System

SUMMARY: On June 15, 1984, the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) 

delegated to the Board of Governors of 

the Federal Reserve System (Board) its 

approval authority under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act, as per 5 CFR 1320.16, to 

approve of and assign OMB control 

numbers to collection of information 

requests and requirements conducted or 

sponsored by the Board under 

conditions set forth in 5 CFR 1320 

Appendix A.1. Board–approved 

collections of information are 

incorporated into the official OMB 

inventory of currently approved 

collections of information. Copies of the 

OMB 83–Is and supporting statements 

and approved collection of information 

instruments are placed into OMB’s 

public docket files. The Federal Reserve 

may not conduct or sponsor, and the 

respondent is not required to respond 

to, an information collection that has 

been extended, revised, or implemented 

on or after October 1, 1995, unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

Request for comment on information 

collection proposal 

The following information 

collections, which are being handled 

under this delegated authority, have 

received initial Board approval and are 

hereby published for comment. At the 

end of the comment period, the 

proposed information collections, along 

with an analysis of comments and 

recommendations received, will be 

submitted to the Board for final 

approval under OMB delegated 

authority. Comments are invited on the 

following: 

a. whether the proposed collections of 

information are necessary for the proper 

performance of the Federal Reserve’s 

functions; including whether the 

information has practical utility; 

b. the accuracy of the Federal 

Reserve’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed information collections, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

c. ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

d. ways to minimize the burden of 

information collections on respondents, 

including through the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.

General description of report: These

(15 U.S.C. §§ 78g). The information in 

the FR G–1 and FR G–4 is given 

confidential treatment under the 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

§§ 552(b)(4)). The FR G–2 does not 

contain confidential information. The 

FR G–3, FR T–4, and FR U–1 are not 

submitted to the Federal Reserve and, as 

such, no issue of confidentiality arises. 

Abstract: The Securities Exchange Act 

of 1934 (’34 Act) authorizes the Board 

to regulate securities credit issued by 

banks, brokers and dealers, and other 

lenders. The purpose statements, FR U–

1, FR T–4, and FR G–3, are 

recordkeeping requirements for banks, 

brokers and dealers, and other lenders, 

respectively, to document the purpose 

of their loans secured by margin stock. 

Other lenders also must register and 

deregister with the Federal Reserve 

using the FR G–1 and FR G–2, 

respectively, and must file an annual 

report (FR G–4). The Federal Reserve 

uses the data to identify lenders subject 

to Regulation U, to verify compliance 

with Regulations T, U, and X, and to 

monitor margin credit.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND 

HUMAN SERVICES 

Office of the General Counsel; Privacy 

Act of 1974: Revision to Existing 

System of Records

AGENCY: Office of the General Counsel 

(OGC), Office of the Secretary, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of revision to an existing 

system of records. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

requirements of the Privacy Act, the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services (HHS) is publishing a notice of 

the minor revision of an existing system 

of records, 09–90–0062, Administrative 

Claims. The revised system makes some 

minor changes due to the records that 

will be part of the Early Offers Pilot, 

which HHS announced in the Federal 

Register on September 24, 2004 (67 FR 

57294).

DATES: The revision does not add 

routine uses to this system. This 

amendment will be effective without 

further notice on the day of its 

publication.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Jeffrey S. Davis, Acting Associate 

General Counsel, General Law Division, 

Office of the General Counsel, U.S. 

Department of Health and Human 

Services, Room 4760, 330 Independence 

Ave., SW., Washington, DC 20201. The 

telephone number is 202–690–0153.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

revised system adds a new location in 

the Appendix for a small subset of 

information contained in this system 

pertinent to HHS’s Early Offers Pilot, 

which was announced in the Federal 

Register on September 24, 2004 (67 FR 

57294). The new location is for the 

contractor who maintains the Early 

Offers Pilot records. The revised system 

clarifies that the existing categories of 

records in the system cover Early Offers 

Pilot records because those records are 

pertinent to the particular claim 

asserted and are relevant to the final 

determinations made on claims. The 

revised system adds the Early Offers 

Pilot contractor to the ‘‘Safeguards’’

section of the system notice. The revised 

system limits the existing routine uses 

that the agency may use for information 

that is gathered under the Early Offers 

Pilot. The revised system corrects 

typographical errors in the previous 

system notice, updates the 

‘‘Retrievability’’ section, and updates 

addresses in the Appendix of the 

system. The revised notice also updates 

the notification procedures. Finally, this 

revised system removes the references 

in the ‘‘Safeguards’’ section and the 

Appendix of the system notice to the 

Social Security Administration (SSA) 

because the SSA became an 

independent agency in 1995 and, 

therefore, is no longer part of HHS. The 

notice is published below in its entirety, 

as amended.
