Abstract: The Securities Act Amendments of 1975 and the Government Securities Act of 1966 amend the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to require all financial institutions that act as municipal government securities broker-dealers to notify the appropriate Federal regulatory agencies of their broker/ dealer activities unless exempted from the notice requirements. These forms are developed to meet the requirements of the Acts. On July 21, 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, P.L. 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010) (Dodd-Frank Act) was enacted. Title III of the Dodd-Frank Act transferred the powers, authorities, rights and duties of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) to other banking agencies, including the OCC, on July 21, 2011. The Dodd-Frank Act also abolishes the OTS ninety days after the transfer date. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, OCC is making a non-substantive change to this collection of information to include the thrift institutions it now regulates. This collection of information is being amended to add OTS's Government Securities and Municipal Securities Dealer Forms. OTS's Government Securities Dealer Forms are currently approved under OMB Control No. 1557-0258 (formerly 1550-0019) and its Municipal Securities Dealer Forms are currently approved under OMB Control No. 1557-0307 (formerly 1550-0123).
