    SUMMARY: The List of Foreign Margin Stocks (Foreign List) is composed 
    of certain foreign equity securities that qualify as margin securities 
    under Regulation T. The Foreign List is published twice a year by the 
    Board.
    
    EFFECTIVE DATE: March 1, 1999.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy Wolffrum, Securities Regulation 
    Analyst, Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation, (202) 452-
    2837, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington, 
    D.C. 20551. For the hearing impaired only, contact Diane Jenkins, 
    Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD) at (202) 452-3544.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Listed below is a complete edition of the 
    Board's Foreign List, which was last published on October 27, 1998 (63 
    FR 57237), and became effective November 9, 1998.
        The Foreign List is composed of foreign equity securities that 
    qualify as foreign margin stock under Regulation T by meeting the 
    requirements of Sec. 220.11 (c) and (d). Additional foreign securities 
    qualify as margin securities if they are deemed by the Securities and 
    Exchange Commission (SEC) to have a ``ready market'' under SEC Rule 
    15c3-1 (17 CFR 240.15c3-1) or a ``no-action'' position issued 
    thereunder. This includes all foreign stocks on the Financial Times/
    Standard & Poor's Actuaries World Indices.
    
    Public Comment and Deferred Effective Date
    
        The requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553 with respect to notice and public 
    participation were not followed in connection with the issuance of this 
    amendment due to the objective character of the criteria for inclusion 
    and continued inclusion on the Foreign List specified in 220.11 (c) and 
    (d). No additional useful information would be gained by public 
    participation. The full requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553 with respect to 
    deferred effective date have not been followed in connection with the 
    issuance of this amendment because the Board finds that it is in the 
    public interest to facilitate investment and credit decisions based in 
    whole or in part upon the composition of the Foreign List as soon as 
    possible. The Board has responded to a request by the public and 
    allowed approximately a one-week delay before the Foreign List is 
    effective.
