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 Foreign 
List.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 14, 1994.

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, DC 
20551. For the hearing impaired only, contact Dorothea Thompson, 
Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD) at (202) 452-3544.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Listed below are additions to and deletions 
from the OTC List, which was last published on July 25, 1994 (59 FR 
37651), and became effective August 8, 1994. 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 a rule 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 additions to and deletions from the Board's 
Foreign List, which was last published on July 25, 1994 (59 FR 37651), 
and became effective August 8, 1994. 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.
