Abstract: The information collection requirements in 12 CFR parts 12 and 151 are required to ensure that national banks and Federal savings associations comply with securities laws and to improve the protections afforded to persons who purchase and sell securities through these financial institutions. Parts 12 and 151 contain recordkeeping and confirmation requirements applicable to certain securities transactions effected by national banks or Federal savings associations for customers. The final rule amends section 12.4(b) to allow institutions to direct a broker-dealer to mail confirmations to customers without requiring a duplicate or other form of notification specified in § 12.4 or 12.5 to be sent by the institution. Sections 12.101 and 12.102, which require the disclosure of remuneration for mutual fund transactions and electronic communications, have been removed. Sections 151.60(a) and 151.60(b) have been amended to include the less detailed maintenance and storage procedures for customer securities transaction records found in part 12. Section 151.60(b) also has been amended to allow use of a third-party service provider for records storage and maintenance. Section 151.80 has been amended to provide that a Federal savings association that has previously determined compensation in a written agreement with the customer would not need to provide a remuneration statement for each securities transaction. The OCC submitted the information collection requirements imposed by the final rule to OMB at the proposed rule stage, 81 FR 13607 (March 14, 2016). OMB filed a comment, instructing the OCC to examine public comment in response to the proposed rule and include in the supporting statement of the next submission, to be submitted to OMB at the final rule stage, a description of how the OCC has responded to any public comments on the collection, including comments on maximizing the practical utility of the collection and minimizing the burden. The OCC received no comments regarding the information collection and has resubmitted it to OMB for review in connection with the final rule.
