Abstract:
Transfer agents, which are institutions that provide securities transfer, registration, monitoring, and other specified services on behalf of securities issuers, are generally subject to certain Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations. A transfer agent is Board-regulated if it is a state member bank or a subsidiary thereof, a bank holding company (BHC), or a savings and loan holding company (SLHC). Certain transfer agent subsidiaries of BHCs are also Board-regulated. A Board-regulated transfer agent that transfers and processes a low volume of securities (low-volume transfer agent) may request an exemption from those regulations by filing with the Board a notice (exemption notice) certifying that it qualifies as a low-volume transfer agent.

Short Statement:
The estimated total annual burden for the FR 4013 is 2 hours, and would increase to 4 hours with the adopted revisions. The increase in estimated burden is due to the identification of the existing additional regulatory requirement to file an exemption disqualification notice. Because this information collection is event-generated, it is not possible to predict exactly how many notices will be filed in a particular year. In recent years, the Federal Reserve has received an average of one exemption notice and one exemption disqualification notice per year.
