The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires financial institutions to notify their appropriate regulatory agency (ARA) prior to using the mails or any means or instrumentality of interstate commerce to engage in government securities broker or dealer activities, and to notify their ARA upon terminating such activities. The Board is the ARA for state member banks, foreign banks, uninsured state branches or state agencies of foreign banks, commercial lending companies owned or controlled by foreign banks, and Edge Act corporations (collectively, Board-regulated financial institutions). A Board-regulated financial institution must use Form G-FIN to register as a government securities broker or dealer or to amend a previously submitted Form G-FIN, and must use Form G-FINW to notify the Board of its termination of such activities. The information collection is event-generated.
