The information collection
requirements in 12 CFR parts 12 and 151 are required to ensure that
national banks and Federal savings associations comply with
securities laws and to improve the protections afforded to persons
who purchase and sell securities through these financial
institutions. Parts 12 and 151 contain recordkeeping and
confirmation requirements applicable to certain securities
transactions effected by national banks or Federal savings
associations for customers. The final rule amends section 12.4(b)
to allow institutions to direct a broker-dealer to mail
confirmations to customers without requiring a duplicate or other
form of notification specified in § 12.4 or 12.5 to be sent by the
institution. Sections 12.101 and 12.102, which require the
disclosure of remuneration for mutual fund transactions and
electronic communications, have been removed. Sections 151.60(a)
and 151.60(b) have been amended to include the less detailed
maintenance and storage procedures for customer securities
transaction records found in part 12. Section 151.60(b) also has
been amended to allow use of a third-party service provider for
records storage and maintenance. Section 151.80 has been amended to
provide that a Federal savings association that has previously
determined compensation in a written agreement with the customer
would not need to provide a remuneration statement for each
securities transaction. The OCC submitted the information
collection requirements imposed by the final rule to OMB at the
proposed rule stage, 81 FR 13607 (March 14, 2016). OMB filed a
comment, instructing the OCC to examine public comment in response
to the proposed rule and include in the supporting statement of the
next submission, to be submitted to OMB at the final rule stage, a
description of how the OCC has responded to any public comments on
the collection, including comments on maximizing the practical
utility of the collection and minimizing the burden. The OCC
received no comments regarding the information collection and has
resubmitted it to OMB for review in connection with the final
rule.
