Rule 17f-1(c) requires reporting institutions to report, lost, stolen, missing, or counterfeit securities to a central data base. Form X-17F-1A facilitates the accurate reporting and precise and immediate data entry into the computerized database. Exchanges, securities associations and the members, broker-dealers, transfer agents, and clearing agencies and their participants, FDIC banks, and Federal Reserve member banks must comply with the rule.
The number of institutions that submitted reports has decreased. The previous reports assumed every reporting institution submitted reports. New data has shown that only 115 institutions submitted reports on average.
The Commission is increasing the total burden hour estimate due to the change in vendor operating the Program. Accenture Federal Services LLC (“Accenture”) will begin operating the Program on January 1, 2025. To establish connectivity with Accenture’s platform, 50 reporting institutions will incur a onetime hourly burden and an annual burden to maintain connectivity.
