Abstract: The TA-1 Form is used for initial registration as a transfer agent and subsequent amendments to registration. The OCC uses the information to determine whether to allow, deny, accelerate, or postpone an application. The OCC also uses the data to more effectively schedule and plan transfer agent examinations. When a national bank or federal savings association no longer acts as a transfer agent for covered corporate securities or when the national bank or federal savings association is no longer supervised by the OCC, i.e. liquidates or converts to another form of financial institution, the bank or savings association must file form TA-W with the OCC, requesting withdrawal from registration as a transfer agent.
