TRANSFER OF TRANSACTIONS FROM CASH ACCOUNTS
AFTER EXTENSION OF TIME.

Ruling No. 46 interpreting Regulation T.

In reply to an inquiry

of a business conduct committee of a national securities exchange regarding the provisions of the fourth paragraph of section 6 of Regulation T, the Federal Reserve Board rules that such a committee, having,
on proper application, granted to a "creditor", as defined in Regulation T, an extension of time in which to receive payment from a
customer who has purchased registered securities in a bona fide cash
transaction, may, on further application of the creditor and before
the expiration of the extension, authorize the creditor to transfer
the transaction from the customer's special cash account to his margin
account, making appropriate entries in both accounts, and to extend
credit on such securities in the margin account subject to the provisions of Regulation T:

Provided. That the committee shall be satisfied

that the transaction was a bona fide cash transaction, that the creditor
is acting in good faith in making the application, and that the circumstances warrant such action.
