Notice Claiming Status as an Exempt Transfer Agent
OMB 7100-0137 ยท FRS.
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. However, a transfer agent that is regulated by and registered with the Board (a Board-regulated transfer agent) may request an exemption from those regulations if it transfers and processes a low volume of securities (a low-volume transfer agent). 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). A Board-regulated transfer agent may request an exemption from the SEC regulations by filing with the Board a notice (exemption notice) certifying that it qualifies as a low-volume transfer agent. In addition, a Board-regulated low-volume transfer agent that no longer meets the requirements of being a low-volume transfer agent must notify the Board of that fact.
