Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 121 / Friday, June 21, 1996 / Notices 31943

Notificant proposes to engage in the

proposed activities nationwide.

Section 4(c)(8) of the BHC Act

provides that a bank holding company

may, with Board approval, engage in

any activity ‘‘which the Board after due

notice and opportunity for hearing has

determined (by order or regulation) to

be so closely related to banking or

managing or controlling banks as to be

a proper incident thereto.’’ 12 U.S.C.

1843(c)(8). The Board previously has

determined, by order, that the proposed

riskless principal activities are ‘‘so

closely related to banking or managing

or controlling banks as to be proper

incident thereto.’’ See Order Revising

the Limitations Applicable to Riskless

Principal Activities, 82 Fed. Res. Bull.

——— (Order dated June 10, 1996). See

also J.P. Morgan & Co. Incorporated, 76

Fed. Res. Bull. 26 (1990); Bankers Trust

New York Corporation, 75 Fed. Res.

Bull. 829 (1989). Except as discussed

below, Notificant has stated that

Company will conduct the proposed

activities using the same methods and

subject to the prudential limitations

established by the Board in its previous

orders.

In authorizing bank holding

companies to engage in riskless

principal activities under section 4(c)(8)

of the BHC Act, the Board has relied on

a commitment that the bank holding

company not act as a riskless principal

for registered investment company

securities or for any securities of

investment companies that are advised

by the bank holding company or any of

its affiliates. Notificant has requested

that Company be permitted to act as

riskless principal in transactions

involving securities of all registered

investment companies, other than

investment companies that are advised

by Notificant or any of its affiliates.

Notificant states that it seeks relief

from this restriction in order to be able

to compete effectively with other

providers of these services. Notificant

maintains, in particular, that Company

would be at a competitive disadvantage

with respect to the execution of

customer orders for the purchase and

sale of open-end mutual funds with a

sales load where, in accordance with

industry practice, most broker/dealers

execute and confirm such transactions

on a principal basis.

In publishing the proposal for

comment, the Board does not take a

position on issues raised by the

proposal. Notice of the proposal is

published solely in order to seek the

views of interested persons on the

issues presented by the notice, and does

not represent a determination by the

Board that the proposal meets or is

likely to meet the standards of the BHC

Act.

Any comments or requests for hearing

should be submitted in writing and

received by William W. Wiles,

Secretary, Board of Governors of the

Federal Reserve System, Washington,

D.C. 20551, not later than July 11, 1996.

Any request for a hearing on this

proposal must, as required by section

262.3(e) of the Board’s Rules of

Procedure (12 C.F.R. 262.3(e)), be

accompanied by a statement of the

reasons why a written presentation

would not suffice in lieu of a hearing,

identifying specifically any questions of

fact that are in dispute, summarizing the

evidence that would be presented at a

hearing, and indicating how the party

commenting would be aggrieved by

approval of the proposal. The notice

may be inspected at the offices of the

Board of Governors or the Federal

Reserve Bank of New York.

The following requests have been

Proposed Projects

1. Importation and Shipment of

Etiologic Agents—(0920–0199)—

Revision—The Antiterrorism and

Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996

(Public Law 104–132) authorizes the

Secretary of Health and Human Services

(HHS) to regulate the transfer of certain

infectious agents harmful to humans.

The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) is the agency within

the Department responsible for

promulgating regulations. CDC is

proposing a rule designed to ensure that

select infectious agents are not shipped

to parties not equipped to handle them

appropriately, or who do not have

legitimate reasons to use them and to

implement a system whereby scientists

and researchers involved in legitimate

research may continue transferring and

receiving these agents without undue

burdens. Respondents include

laboratory facilities such as those

operated by government agencies,

universities, research institutions, and

commercial entities.

Those facilities requesting select

infectious agents listed in the regulation

must register with the Secretary of HHS,

or with registering entities authorized

by the Secretary, as capable and

equipped to handle the select infectious

agents in accordance with guidelines

developed by CDC, the National

Institutes for Health (NIH) and the

Department of Defense.

Once registered, facilities must

complete a federally-developed form,

CDC Form EA–101, for each transfer of

the agent. Information on this form will

include the name of the requestor and

requesting facility, the name of the

transferor and transferring facility, the

name of the responsible facility official

for the transferor and requestor, the

requesting facility’s registration number,

the transferring facility’s registration

number, the name of the agent(s) being

shipped, and the proposed use of the

agent. The package is being revised to

include burden for laboratories to

register with the Secretary.
