General Description of Collection: Section 17A(c) of the Security
Exchange Act of 1934 (the Act) requires all transfer agents for
securities registered under section 12 of the Act or, if the security
would be required to be registered except for the exemption from
registration provided by Section 12(g)(2)(B) or Section 12(g)(2)(G), to
``fil[e] with the appropriate regulatory agency . . . an application
for registration in such form and containing such information and
documents . . . as such appropriate regulatory agency may prescribe as
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of this
section.'' In general, an entity performing transfer agent functions
for a security is required to register with its appropriate regulatory
agency (``ARA'') if the security is registered on a national securities
exchange or if the issuer of the security has total assets exceeding
$10 million and a class of equity security held of record by 2,000
persons or, for an issuer that is not a bank, BHC, or SLHC, by 500
persons who are not accredited investors. The Board's Regulation H (12
CFR 208.31(a)) and Regulation Y (12 CFR 225.4(d)), the OCC's 12 CFR
9.20, and the FDIC's 12 CFR part 341 implement these provisions of the
Act. To accomplish the registration of transfer agents, Form TA-1 was
developed in 1975 as an interagency effort by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) and the agencies. The agencies primarily use
the data collected on Form TA-1 to
[[Page 68447]]
determine whether an application for registration should be approved,
denied, accelerated or postponed, and they use the data in connection
with their supervisory responsibilities.
2. Title: Application for Consent to Reduce or Retire Capital.
