Proposal Under OMB Delegated 

Authority To Extend for Three Years, 

With Revision, the Following 

Information Collection 

Collection title: Recordkeeping and 

Disclosure Requirements Associated 

with Regulation R. 

Collection identifier: FR R. 

OMB control number: 7100–0316. 

General description of collection: The 

Board’s Regulation R—Exceptions for 

Banks from the Definition of Broker in 

the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (12 

CFR part 218) implements certain 

exceptions for banks from the definition 

of broker under section 3(a)(4) of the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 

(Exchange Act). Sections 701, 723, and 

741 of Regulation R contain certain 

recordkeeping provisions for banks that 

utilize the exceptions in the Exchange 

Act and certain customer and 

counterparty disclosure requirements. 

Proposed revisions: The Board 

proposes to revise the FR R to account 

for a recordkeeping provision in section 

218.723(c)(2)(ii) of Regulation R, which 

has not been previously cleared by the 

Board under the PRA. 

For purposes of determining 

compliance with the chiefly 

compensated test, a bank may exclude 

the trust or fiduciary accounts held at a 

non-shell foreign branch of the bank if 

the bank has reasonable cause to believe 

that trust or fiduciary accounts of the 

foreign branch held by or for the benefit

1More detailed information regarding this 

collection, including more detailed burden 

estimates, can be found in the OMB Supporting 

Statement posted at https://www.federalreserve.gov/

displayed at the link, you can find the OMB 

Supporting Statement by referencing the collection 

identifier, FR R. 

of a U.S. person constitute less than 10 

percent of the total number of trust or 

fiduciary accounts of the foreign branch. 

Under section 218.723(c)(2)(ii) of 

Regulation R, a bank will be deemed to 

have reasonable cause to believe that a 

trust or fiduciary account of a foreign 

branch of the bank is not held by or for 

the benefit of a U.S. person if, among 

other things, the records of the foreign 

branch indicate that the 

accountholder(s) and beneficiary(ies) of 

the account is not a U.S. person. In 

order to receive the benefits of this 

provision the foreign branch must keep 

such records while the account(s) at 

issue are open, so that supervisors can 

monitor compliance. The Board has not 

estimated additional burden for this 

provision because it expects that records 

about whether accountholders and 

beneficiaries are U.S. persons would be 

compiled and maintained by banks in 

the normal course of their activities. 

Frequency: Event-generated. 

Respondents: Banks, as defined in the 

Exchange Act, that qualify for the 

exemptions from the Exchange Act 

definition of broker. 

Total estimated number of 

respondents: 3,185. 

Total estimated change in burden: 0. 

Total estimated annual burden hours: 

62,709.1
