agency, and to file with the appropriate regulatory agency, annually or more frequently, a balance sheet and income statement certified by an independent public accountant, prepared

regulations with respect to transactions in government securities

regulatory agency on a proposed rule or regulation that has been
published for comment, the appropriate regulatory agency shall respond in writing to such written comment before approving the
proposed rule or regulation.
(C) In promulgating rules under this section, the appropriate
regulatory agency shall consider the sufficiency and appropriateness of then existing laws and rules applicable to government securities brokers, government securities dealers, and persons associated with government securities brokers and government securities
dealers.
(4) Rules promulgated and orders issued under this section
shall—
(A) be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative
acts and practices and to protect the integrity, liquidity, and
efficiency of the market for government securities, investors,
and the public interest; and

government securities dealers, or to impose any burden on

with government securities brokers and government securities
dealers;
(B) may determine, to the extent consistent with paragraph (2) of this subsection and with the public interest, the
protection of investors, and the purposes of this title, not to
apply, in whole or in part, certain rules under this section, or
to apply greater, lesser, or different standards, to certain classes of government securities brokers, government securities
dealers, or persons associated with government securities brokers or government securities dealers;
(C) shall consider the sufficiency and appropriateness of
then existing laws and rules applicable to government securities brokers, government securities dealers, and persons associated with government securities brokers and government securities dealers; and

Reserve System comments in writing on a proposed rule of the Secretary that has been published for comment, the Secretary shall respond in writing to such written comment before approving the
proposed rule.

a period not exceeding 12 months, or revoke the registration of
such government securities broker or government securities
dealer, if it finds, on the record after notice and opportunity for
hearing, that such censure, placing of limitations, suspension,
or revocation is in the public interest and that such government securities broker or government securities dealer, or any
person associated with such government securities broker or
government securities dealer (whether prior or subsequent to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
OMB for each collection of information
that they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) to include agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. The OCC
asks the OMB to extend its approval of
the collection in this notice.
Title: Investment Securities.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0205.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit.
Description: Under 12 CFR 1.3(h)(2), a
national bank may request an OCC
determination that it may invest in an
entity that is exempt from registration
under section 3(c)(1) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 1 if the portfolio
of the entity consists exclusively of
assets that a national bank may
purchase and sell for its own account.
The OCC uses the information
contained in the request as a basis for
ensuring that the bank’s investment is
consistent with its investment authority
under applicable law and does not pose
unacceptable risk. Under 12 CFR 1.7(b),
a national bank may request OCC
approval to extend the five-year holding
period for securities held in satisfaction
of debts previously contracted for up to
an additional five years. In its request,
the bank must provide a clearly
convincing demonstration of why the
additional holding period is needed.
The OCC uses the information in the
request to ensure, on a case-by-case
basis, that the bank’s purpose in
retaining the securities is not
speculative and that the bank’s reasons
for requesting the extension are
adequate. The OCC also uses the
information to evaluate the risks to the
bank in extending the holding period,
including potential effects on the bank’s
safety and soundness.
