FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
12 CFR Parts 207, 220, 221, and 224
[Regulations G, T, U, and X]
Securities Credit Transactions; List of Marginable OTC Stocks;
List of Foreign Margin Stocks
AGENCY: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
ACTION: Final rule; determination of applicability of regulations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The List of Marginable OTC Stocks (OTC List) is composed of
stocks traded over-the-counter (OTC) in the United States that have
been determined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
to be subject to the margin requirements under certain Federal Reserve
regulations. The List of Foreign Margin Stocks (Foreign List) is
composed of foreign equity securities that have met the Board's
eligibility criteria under Regulation T. The OTC List and the Foreign
List are published four times a year by the Board. This document sets
forth additions to and deletions from the previous OTC List and the
previous Foreign List.
EFFECTIVE DATE: May 13, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy Wolffrum, Securities Regulation
Analyst, Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation, (202) 452-
2781, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington,
D.C. 20551. For the hearing impaired only, contact Dorothea Thompson,
Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD) at (202) 452-3544.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Listed below are the deletions from and
additions to the Board's OTC List, which was last published on January
29, 1996 (61 FR 2667), and became effective February 12, 1996. A copy
of the complete OTC List is available from the Federal Reserve Banks.
The OTC List includes those stocks that meet the criteria in
Regulations G, T and U (12 CFR Parts 207, 220 and 221, respectively).
This determination also affects the applicability of Regulation X (12
CFR Part 224). These stocks have the degree of national investor
interest, the depth and breadth of market, and the availability of
information respecting the stock and its issuer to warrant regulation
in the same fashion as exchange-traded securities. The OTC List also
includes any OTC stock designated for trading in the national market
system (NMS security) under rules approved by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). Additional OTC stocks may be designated as
NMS securities in the interim between the Board's quarterly
publications. They will become automatically marginable upon the
effective date of their NMS designation. The names of these stocks are
available at the SEC and at the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. and will be incorporated into the Board's next quarterly
publication of the OTC List.
Also listed below are the deletions from and additions to the
Board's Foreign List, which was last published on January 29, 1996 (61
FR 2667), and became effective February 12, 1996. The Foreign List
includes those foreign securities that meet the criteria in section
220.17 of Regulation T and are eligible for margin treatment at broker-
dealers on the same basis as domestic margin securities. A copy of the
complete Foreign List is available from the Federal Reserve Banks.
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 Lists specified in 12 CFR 207.6(a) and
(b), 220.17(a), (b), (c) and (d), and 221.7(a) and (b). 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 these Lists as soon as possible. The Board has
responded to a request by the public and allowed approximately a two-
week delay before the Lists are effective.
