Short Statement:
The adjustments that affect burden analysis arise from new information that the Department has obtained through consultation with industry experts regarding the operation of the foreign and domestic securities lending markets. The Department now assumes that the exemption will be relied upon only by the limited group of large, sophisticated domestic broker dealers and banks currently active in the securities lending market, which the Department estimates at approximately 100 separate entities. The consolidation of the financial services industry and reduction of firms engaging in securities lending led the Department to reduce its estimate of the number of firms engaged in securities lending to 100.
