Proposal Under OMB Delegated 

Authority To Extend for Three Years, 

With Revision, the Following 

Information Collection 

Collection title: Margin Credit 

Reports. 

Collection identifier: FR G–1, FR G–2, 

FR G–3, FR G–4, FR T–4, and FR U–1. 

OMB control number: 7100–0011. 

General description of collection: The 

Margin Credit Reports is comprised of 

the following six reports: Registration 

Statement for Persons Who Extend 

Credit Secured by Margin Stock (Other 

Than Banks, Brokers, or Dealers) (FR G– 

1), Deregistration Statement for Persons 

Registered Pursuant to Regulation U (FR 

G–2), Statement of Purpose for an 

Extension of Credit Secured by Margin 

Stock by a Person Subject to 

Registration Under Regulation U (FR G– 

3), Annual Report (FR G–4), Statement 

of Purpose for an Extension of Credit by 

a Creditor (FR T–4), and Statement of 

Purpose for an Extension of Credit 

Secured by Margin Stock (FR U–1). 

These reports relate to extensions of 

credit secured by margin stock. The 

Board collects the information gathered 

by the Margin Credit Reports so that it 

may meet certain obligations under the 

Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 

Certain lenders that are not brokers, 

dealers, or banks making loans secured 

by margin stock 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) while registered. The FR 

G–1, FR G–2, and FR G–4 reporting 

requirements collect data used to 

identify lenders subject to the Board’s 

Regulation U to verify their compliance

with the regulation and to monitor 

margin credit. 

The FR T–4, FR U–1, and FR G–3 are 

forms that implement recordkeeping 

requirements for brokers and dealers, 

banks, and other lenders, respectively. 

The FR T–4 documents the purpose of 

credit being extended when that credit 

is not to purchase, carry, or trade in 

securities and the credit is in excess of 

that otherwise permitted under 

Regulation T. The FR G–3 and FR U–1 

document the purpose of loans secured 

by margin stock. 

Proposed revisions: The Board 

proposes to revise the FR G–1 and FR 

G–4 by updating the confidentiality 

treatment as contained in the reporting 

instructions to state that individual 

respondents may request that 

information submitted to the Board 

through the FR G–1 and FR G–4 be kept 

confidential and the Board will evaluate 

whether such treatment is appropriate 

on a case-by-case basis. The reports 

currently state that the Board considers 

the information submitted to be 

confidential. The Board believes these 

changes more accurately reflect its 

obligations under the Privacy Act of 

1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a. There are no 

changes being proposed to the FR G–2, 

FR G–3, FR T–4, or FR U–1. 

Frequency: Event-generated. 

Respondents: The FR G–1, FR G–2, FR 

G–3, and FR G–4 panels comprise 

lenders, other than banks, brokers, or 

dealers, that extend margin credit, 

including federal and state credit 

unions; insurance companies; 

commercial and consumer credit 

organizations; production credit 

associations; small businesses; 

insurance premium funding plans; planlenders (a company or its affiliate that 

extends credit to employees to purchase 

company stock under an eligible 

employee stock option or stock 

purchase plan); and lenders to 

Employee Stock Ownership Plans 

(ESOPs), thrift plans, and broker-dealer 

affiliates. The FR T–4 panel comprises 

brokers and dealers and the FR U–1 

panel comprises banks. 

Total estimated number of 

respondents: FR G–1, 25; FR G–2, 12; FR 

G–3, 10; FR G–4, 129; FR T–4, 14; FR 

U–1, 14.

0.25; FR G–4, 2.07; FR T–4, 0.25; FR U–
