Definition of Terms in and Specific Exemptions for Banks, Savings Associations, and Savings Banks Under Sections 3(a)(4) and 3(a)(5) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Özet

The Securities and Exchange Commission is proposing to amend its rule granting an exemption to banks from dealer registration for certain de minimis riskless principal transactions, to amend certain of its rules that define terms used in the bank exceptions to dealer registration, and to grant a new exemption to banks from broker and dealer registration for certain securities lending under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These rules address certain of the exceptions for banks from the definitions of "broker" and "dealer" that were added to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.
