Reporting and Disclosure Requirements for State Member Banks With Securities Registered Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 — 2002-09-13 [02-23364]

The Board has modified its regulations implementing section 12(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to reflect the amendments made to section 12(i) by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These amendments vest the Board with the authority to administer and enforce several of the enhanced reporting, disclosure and corporate governance obligations imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with respect to state member banks that have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Because some of the relevant provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to be administered by the Board are effective already, or will become effective shortly, the Board has adopted the rule on an interim basis and made the rule effective immediately.
