Treasury Securities and Agency Debt and Mortgage-Backed Securities Reporting Requirements

Description

The FR 2956 collects detailed data on depository institutions’ daily transactions trading of marketable U.S. Treasury securities and transactions trading of the debt and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) issued by U.S. federal government agencies including government-sponsored enterprises (agencies). Every national bank, state member bank, state non-member bank, savings association, or U.S. branch and agency of a foreign bank filing a Notice by Financial Institutions of Government Securities Broker or Government Securities Dealer Activities (Form G-FIN; OMB No. 7100-0224) with average daily transaction volumes of over $100 million, for U.S. Treasury debt, or over $50 million, for agency-issued debt and MBS, during the prior fiscal year will be subject to the implemented reporting requirements. Depository institutions subject to the reporting requirements of the FR 2956 electronically report transactions through the Board’s data collection vendor, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), utilizing its Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine (TRACE). The report has two parts. Part 1 collects data on transactions in U.S. Treasury debt and Part 2 collects transactions in debt and MBS issued by agencies.
