Regulations G, T, U and X; Securities
Credit Transactions; List of Marginable
OTC Stocks
a g e n c y : Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.
ACTION: Final rule; determination of
applicability of regulations.

The List of Marginable OTC
Stocks is comprised of stocks traded
over-the-counter (OTC) that have been
determined by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System to be
subject to the margin requirements
under certain Federal Reserve
regulations. The List is published four
times a year by the Board as a guide for
lenders subject to the regulations and
the general public. This document sets
forth additions to or deletions from the
previously published List effective
February 8,1988, and will serve to give
notice to the public about the changed
status of certain stocks.
EFFECTIVE DATE: May 9,1988.

Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, Washington, DC 20551.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Set forth
below are stocks representing additions
to or deletions from the Board’s List of
Marginable OTC Stocks. A copy of the
complete List incorporating these
additions and deletions is available
from the Federal Reserve Banks. This
List supersedes the last complete List
which was effective February 8,1988.
(Additions and deletions for that List
were published at 53 FR 2998, February
3,1988). The current List includes those
stocks that meet the criteria specified by
the Board of Governors in Regulations
G, T, U and X (12 CFR Parts 207, 220, 221
and 224, respectively). These stocks
have the degree of national investor
interest, the depth and breadth of
market, and the availability of
information respecting the stock and its
issuer to warrant regulation in the same

fashion as exchange-traded securities.
The List also includes any stock
designated under an SEC rule as
qualified for trading in the national
market system (NMS Security).
Additional OTC stocks may be
designated as NMS securities in the
interim between the Board's quarterly
publications. They will become
automatically marginable at brokerdealers upon the effective date of their
NMS designation. The names of these
stocks are available at the Board and
the Securities and Exchange
Commission and will be incorporated
into the Board’s next quarterly List.
The requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553 with
respect to notice and public
participation were not followed in
connection with the issuance of this
amendment due to the objective
character of the criteria for inclusion
and continued inclusion on the List
specified in 12 CFR 207.6 (a) and (b),
220.17 (a) and (b), and 221.7 (a) and (b).
No additional useful information would
be gained by public participation. The
full requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553 with
respect to deferred effective date have
not been followed in connection with
the issuance of this amendment because
the Board finds that it is in the public
interest to facilitate investment and
credit decisions based in whole or in
part upon the composition of this List as
soon as possible. The Board has
responded to a request by the public and
allowed a two-week delay before the
List is effective.
