Final Approval under OMB Delegated Authority of the Extension for Three Years, With
Revision, of the Following Information Collection
Collection title: Margin Credit Reports.
Collection identifier: FR G-1, FR G-2, FR G-3, FR G-4, FR T-4, and FR U-1.
OMB control number: 7100-0011.
General description of collection: The Margin Credit Reports is comprised of the following six
reports: Registration Statement for Persons Who Extend Credit Secured by Margin Stock (Other
Than Banks, Brokers, or Dealers) (FR G-1), Deregistration Statement for Persons Registered
Pursuant to Regulation U (FR G-2), Statement of Purpose for an Extension of Credit Secured by
Margin Stock by a Person Subject to Registration Under Regulation U (FR G-3), Annual Report
(FR G-4), Statement of Purpose for an Extension of Credit by a Creditor (FR T-4), and Statement
of Purpose for an Extension of Credit Secured by Margin Stock (FR U-1). These reports relate to
extensions of credit secured by margin stock. The Board collects the information gathered by the
Margin Credit Reports so that it may meet certain obligations under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934.
Certain lenders that are not brokers, dealers, or banks making loans secured by margin
stock must register and deregister with the Federal Reserve using the FR G-1 and FR G-2,
respectively, and must file an annual report (FR G-4) while registered. The FR G-1, FR G-2, and
FR G-4 reporting requirements collect data used to identify lenders subject to the Board’s
Regulation U to verify their compliance with the regulation and to monitor margin credit.
The FR T-4, FR U-1, and FR G-3 are forms that implement recordkeeping requirements
for brokers and dealers, banks, and other lenders, respectively. The FR T-4 documents the
purpose of credit being extended when that credit is not to purchase, carry, or trade in securities

and the credit is in excess of that otherwise permitted under Regulation T. The FR G-3 and FR
U-1 document the purpose of loans secured by margin stock.
Frequency: The FR G-1, FR G-2, FR G-3, FR T-4, and FR U-1 are event-generated; the FR G-4
is completed annually.
Respondents: The FR G-1, FR G-2, FR G-3, and FR G-4 panels comprise lenders, other than
banks, brokers, or dealers, that extend margin credit, including federal and state credit unions;
insurance companies; commercial and consumer credit organizations; production credit
associations; small businesses; insurance premium funding plans; plan-lenders (a company or its
affiliate that extends credit to employees to purchase company stock under an eligible employee
stock option or stock purchase plan); and lenders to Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs),
thrift plans, and broker-dealer affiliates. The FR T-4 panel comprises brokers and dealers and the
FR U-1 panel comprises banks.
Total estimated number of respondents: FR G-1, 25; FR G-2, 12; FR G-3, 10; FR G-4, 129; FR
T-4, 14; FR U-1, 14.
Estimated average hours per response: FR G-1, 1.65; FR G-2, 0.53; FR G-3, 0.25; FR G-4, 2.07;
FR T-4, 0.25; FR U-1, 0.25.
Total estimated annual burden hours: 697.
Current actions: On February 16, 2024, the Board published a notice in the Federal Register (89
FR 12342) requesting public comment for 60 days on the extension, with revision, of the FR G1, FR G-2, FR G-3, FR G-4, FR T-4, and FR U-1. The Board revised the FR G-1 and FR G-4 by
updating the confidentiality treatment as contained in the reporting instructions to state that
individual respondents may request that information submitted to the Board through the FR G-1
and FR G-4 be kept confidential and the Board will evaluate whether such treatment is
appropriate on a case-by-case basis. The comment period for this notice expired on April 16,
2024. The Board did not receive any comments.

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, June 25, 2024.
