The regulations require any entities
with very large positions in certain Treasury securities to keep
records and file reports of such positions. The proposed amendments
would make modifications to the large position report to improve
the information available to Treasury and other regulators to
better understand the causes of market shortages in certain
Treasury securities. This helps ensure the liquidity and efficiency
of the Treasury securities market and the fair treatment of
investors.
