Federal Banking Agencies Announce New Interagency Electronic Filing System for
Beneficial Ownership Reports
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Federal Reserve Board (FRB), and
the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) announced today a new interagency
electronic filing system that will allow faster and easier submission and public retrieval of
beneficial ownership reports filed by directors, officers, and principal shareholders of
institutions (insiders) whose equity securities are registered with the FDIC, the FRB, and the
OCC.
The new electronic system, available on July 30, is an important step in the agencies'
ongoing efforts to streamline the filing and retrieval of reports filed with the agencies under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It will also reduce burden on insiders who must file
these reports within two business days of completing a transaction in equity securities of the
institution.
Although filing under the new system will be voluntary initially, the agencies encourage the
use of the electronic filing system as soon as practicable once it becomes available. The
agencies will issue additional guidance making electronic filing of beneficial ownership
reports mandatory, as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
