supplementary information: The Government Securities Act Amendments of
1993 granted Treasury the authority to prescribe large position
recordkeeping and reporting rules for certain Treasury securities. An
advance notice of proposed rulemaking was published to advise market
participants of our intention to issue large position recordkeeping and
reporting regulations, describe the purposes of, and objectives to be
achieved by, such rules and identify key elements related to any rule
proposal. The notice invited comments, advice and recommendations from
interested parties and requested that they address specific questions.
The Department has received a request for a 30 day extension of the
comment period from a trade association representing approximately 300
government securities brokers and dealers (Public Securities
Association, PSA). PSA has requested the extension in order to permit
the association to obtain additional information from its membership
and more fully discuss the issues at its annual meeting during the last
week of April. Given the limited additional time requested, the
Department agrees to extend the comment period until May 24, 1995.
Dated: April 19, 1995.
Frank N. Newman,
Deputy Secretary.
