Treasury's large position rules (17 CFR Part 420), which were issued in final form on September 12, 1996 (61 FR 48338), establish recordkeeping and reporting requirements for entities that control large positions in certain Treasury securities. The rules put in place an on-demand reporting system which, in response to a notice by Treasury requesting large position information, requires large position reports to be filed by entities that control a position in a particular Treasury security or securities equaling or exceeding the specified large position threshold. The rules are effective March 31, 1997.
The rules are intended to improve the information available to Treasury and other regulators regarding concentrations of control and to ensure that regulators have the tools necessary to monitor the Treasury securities market. Large positions, in and of themselves, are not inherently harmful, and there is no presumption of manipulative or illegal intent on the part of the controlling entity merely because it is required to submit a large position report in response to these rules.
As we move closer to the implementation date of the rules, we are providing additional clarifying information and guidance to help market participants complete the necessary actions to put in place policies, procedures and processes so that they will be in compliance with the rules. The information provided below is a summary of the most frequently asked questions, together with the answers that Treasury staff has provided in response to those questions. The Qs & As are grouped by category within the various sections of the rules. The Qs & As are not a substitute for the rules and as such should be used in conjunction with the actual regulations. Further, this information does not constitute a formal interpretation of the large position rules.
Any questions regarding the large position rules should be directed to the Government Securities Regulations Staff at 202-219-3632.
2.2) Reporting Entities, Aggregating Entities, Designated Filing Entities
3.4) Net Fails Position
Treasury places great importance on, and takes very seriously, compliance with its rules,
especially those that are intended to strengthen the integrity of the Treasury securities
market by combating manipulation and fraud. It is important for all market participants to
recognize that the rules create a requirement for affected entities to maintain records and
report information on large positions. In considering the issue of obtaining large position
information from foreign entities, the Treasury expects that U.S. regulators will work with
foreign securities and banking regulators through Memorandums Of Understanding and other
means when, and if, such actions become necessary.
1.2) Are foreign aggregating entities subject to the large position requirements?
Yes, with very limited exceptions (see question 1.1), foreign investors are subject to
the requirements. It is impractical to exempt foreign investors from the large position
rules since the potential exists for these entities to amass large positions in Treasury
securities. Further, the granting of such an exemption could cause U.S.- based entities
to move their securities holdings overseas to foreign firms.
For all Treasury securities, a when-issued security -- a security announced to be issued or
auctioned but as yet unissued -- would be included in the definition of "recently-issued"
and would be considered the most recent issue. A when-issued security is always the most
recent issue. For example, on February 5, 1997, Treasury announced the auction and issuance
of 30-year Treasury bonds. The auction date was set for February 13, with settlement on
February 18. With the commencement of when-issued trading after the announcement on
February 5, that 30-year bond would be considered the most recent issue of that maturity
category. It would remain the most recent issue until the announcement of the next issue
of 30-year bonds (assuming it was not reopened).
2.2) Reporting Entities, Aggregating Entities, Designated Filing Entities
No, the outside entity does not fall within the definition of affiliate or aggregating
entity simply because the reporting entity has the right to appoint a majority of its
board of directors. The entity would fall within the definition of affiliate or aggregating
entity when the reporting entity exercises its right and appoints a majority of the board
of directors to the entity.
2.2.2) If the general partner of an aggregating entity personally invests in an outside
entity, is that outside entity considered part of the aggregating entity for purposes of
the rule?
Subject to other applicable restrictions contained in the rule, the outside entity would not
be considered part of the aggregating entity unless the general partner owned more than 50%
of the partnership and more than 50% of the outside entity.
2.2.3) Can a designated filing entity submit separate large position reports for each
aggregating entity within its reporting entity, or must it consolidate the report to be
filed on behalf of the reporting entity?
A reporting entity must select one entity from its aggregating entities (i.e., the designated
filing entity) as the entity designated to compile and file a consolidated report on behalf of
the entire reporting entity. A designated filing entity is not required to be a distinct legal
entity.
2.2.4) Can an individual be its own designated filing entity?
Yes, an individual can be her/his own designated filing entity. An individual can also be
the designated filing entity of a reporting entity consisting of multiple entities.
2.2.5) Can an entity be a designated filing entity for two separate reporting entities?
No, each separate reporting entity must select one entity from among its own aggregating
entities as the entity designated to compile and file a report on its behalf. This is
designed to prevent the exchange of information related to transactions in Treasury
securities between separate reporting entities.
3.1.2) When will the large position reports be due?
3.1.3) Where should the large position reports be filed?
3.1.4) When Treasury makes a request for large position reporting on a particular security,
will $2 billion be the large position threshold?
3.1.5) Are position amounts on the large position report recorded on a trade date basis or
settlement date basis?
3.1.6) Can Treasury issue a request for large position information for more than one CUSIP
(i.e., security) and/or for more than one reporting date in a single request?
3.1.7) What if one or more of a reporting entity's foreign affiliates is closed (due to a
holiday) during the reporting time frame?
3.1.8) Is a custodian required to report on positions it holds in a safekeeping capacity?
3.1.9) Does a custodian have an obligation to inform its customers of the large position
recordkeeping and reporting requirements?
3.1.10) Will Treasury release the large position information to the public?
Similarly, assume that aggregating entity A has a $100 million proprietary long position and
repos out the security to aggregating entity B. The reporting entity need only include the
security once when it aggregates information for a large position report. The $100 million
is either included in its net trading position (attributable to aggregating entity A's
proprietary long position) or in its gross financing position (attributable to aggregating
entity B's reverse repo).
3.3.2) Two aggregating entities are part of two different reporting entities but are
affiliated within a larger organizational structure (they have received recognition as
separate bidders or separate reporting entities). If the two aggregating entities conduct
intercompany financing transactions with each other involving the same security (same CUSIP
and par amount), how must these transactions be treated by the respective reporting entities
when aggregating gross financing position information for large position reports?
The rules require this type of reporting even though the security is no longer in the
possession of aggregating entity A -- the security has been contemporaneously repoed out to
aggregating entity B -- since both reporting entities control the security (based on the
definition of control in the large position rules). This approach will result in some
multiple counting by reporting entities, but the resulting multiple counting will provide
additional information about entities that have various legal claims to a security and that
may potentially benefit from any possible market disruptions.
3.3.3) When a reporting entity enters into a reverse repurchase transaction (i.e., receives
collateral), and the counterparty has the right to substitute the collateral, how is this
collateral treated for purposes of the gross financing position computation?
3.3.4) Can a reporting entity reduce its gross financing position by the amount of securities
received in a reverse repurchase transaction in which the counterparty retains the right to
substitute securities subject to the approval of the reporting entity?
3.3.5) Is an overnight reverse repurchase transaction (i.e., unwound within 24 hours)
considered analogous to a reverse repo involving "rights to substitution," thus permitting
the optional exclusion to be available when computing and reporting the gross financing
position?
4.1) If a reporting entity was not required to send a letter to Treasury stating that it
had or would have in place a recordkeeping system enabling it to meet the requirements of
the rule, is it required to have a recordkeeping system in place by March 31, 1997? What
about after March 31, 1997?
4.2) Would a reporting entity that is subject to the large position rules fall out of the
recordkeeping requirements if it did not control a position equal to or greater than the
minimum large position threshold ($2 billion) for an extended period (e.g., one year)?
4.3) If funds, investment companies, or other entities are aggregated within a reporting
entity, and such reporting entity is subject to the recordkeeping requirements of the
rules, must the funds, investment companies, or other entities follow the recordkeeping
rules also?
4.4) An entity (such as a hedge fund, pension fund, or insurance company) is not subject to
federal securities recordkeeping rules but is required to follow the recordkeeping requirements
of the large position rules (section 420.4(c)). Is it permissible for such an entity to have
a third party make and maintain its records, including making and maintaining the records at
another location?
5.2) Conversely, does such an entity qualify as a separate bidder for auction purposes without
requesting such status if the entity has already received recognition as a separate reporting
entity for purposes of the large position rules?
5.3) Where a reporting entity consists of more than one aggregating entity, is each
aggregating entity that requests recognition as a separate reporting entity required to send
a separate written letter to Treasury?
5.4) Can organizational components that are not separate legal entities be carved out as
separate reporting entities?
6.2) Can an individual sign a large position report as the authorized official if he/she does
not have one of the specific titles listed in the rules?

it had or would have in place a recordkeeping system enabling it to meet the
requirements of the rule, is it required to have a recordkeeping system in place by
March 31, 1997? What about after March 31, 1997?
4.2) Would a reporting entity that is subject to the large position rules fall out of
the recordkeeping requirements if it did not control a position equal to or greater
than the minimum large position threshold ($2 billion) for an extended period
(e.g., one year)?
4.3) If funds, investment companies, or other entities are aggregated within a
reporting entity, and such reporting entity is subject to the recordkeeping requirements
of the rules, must the funds, investment companies, or other entities follow the
recordkeeping rules also?
4.4) An entity (such as a hedge fund, pension fund, or insurance company) is not
subject to federal securities recordkeeping rules but is required to follow the
recordkeeping requirements of the large position rules (section 420.4(c)). Is it
permissible for such an entity to have a third party make and maintain its records,
including making and maintaining the records at another location?
4.5) Regarding the requirement to retain large position records for either 3 or 6
years, depending on the type of record, does the time frame apply from the date
Treasury requests a large position report?

aggregating entity that requests recognition as a separate reporting entity required
to send a separate written letter to Treasury?

6.2) Can an individual sign a large position report as the authorized official if
he/she does not have one of the specific titles listed in the rules?
6.3) Sample Large Position Report
6.4) Administrative Information to be Provided in the Report
1) SECTION 420.1 - APPLICABILITY
1.1) Who is subject to the large position rules?
With the exception of foreign official organizations and the Federal Reserve Banks,
Treasury's large position recordkeeping and reporting rules apply to all entities,
foreign and domestic, that may control a reportable position in a recently-issued
Treasury security. This includes but is not limited to: government securities brokers
and dealers; registered investment companies; registered investment advisers; custodians,
including depository institutions, that exercise investment discretion; hedge funds;
pension funds; insurance companies; foreign banks; and foreign affiliates of U.S. entities.
2) SECTION 420.2 - DEFINITIONS
2.1) Recently-Issued
2.1.1) What is considered the most recent issue within the definition of "recently-issued?"
"Recently-issued" Treasury securities are defined in the rules and are determined by the
frequency of the issue. For those securities that are issued on a quarterly or more
frequent basis (i.e., bills and notes), the three most recent issues are considered
"recently-issued." For example, in early April, the March, February, and January 2-year
notes would be "recently-issued," with the March 2-year note being the most recent issue.
For those securities that are issued less frequently than quarterly (i.e., currently
just bonds), the two most recent issues would be "recently-issued."
2.2.1) When a reporting entity has the right to appoint a majority of the board of directors
for an outside entity, but has not exercised the right, does the outside entity fall within
the definition of an affiliate or aggregating entity of the reporting entity?
3) SECTION 420.3 - REPORTING
3.1) Reporting Requirements and Turn-Around Time
3.1.1) What procedures will Treasury use to issue and disseminate the notice requesting large
position reports?
Treasury will provide notice requesting large position reports by issuing a press release
and subsequently publishing a notice in the Federal Register. The press release will be
made available to major news and financial organizations and electronic wire services for
dissemination. The announcement requesting large position reports will also be provided to
PSA The Bond Market Trade Association, the Investment Company Institute and the British
Bankers' Association, as they requested, so that they can distribute the announcement to
their members. It is the responsibility of market participants to take the necessary actions
to be aware of requests by the Treasury for large position reports.
Large position reports must be received by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York before noon
Eastern time on the fourth business day after the issuance of the Treasury press release
calling for large position information. The actual date on which reports are due will be
provided in the press release.
Large position reports must be filed with the Market Reports Division of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, 33 Liberty Street, 4th Floor, New York, NY. The reports may be filed by
facsimile at 212-720-8028 or delivered hard copy.
Probably not. The large position threshold specified in any actual request for large
position information will likely be in excess of $2 billion. The $2 billion level is an
absolute minimum reporting amount (floor) below which reports will not be requested.
All position amounts on the large position report (including the memorandum item) must be
reported on a trade date basis, at par in millions of dollars, and as of the close of
business of the reporting date(s) specified in the notice. For Treasury inflation-indexed
securities, the par amount is the stated value of a security at original issuance.
Yes, Treasury can request large position reports for more than one CUSIP and also for more
than one reporting date. In those instances, separate large position information must be
submitted for each CUSIP and each reporting date.
Treasury is sympathetic to the concerns regarding the time and effort needed to compile,
aggregate, and file the large position reports, particularly where reporting entities have
foreign affiliates. However, significant changes were made in the final rules to reduce the
burdens associated with complying with the large position rules. Accordingly, all reportable
positions of foreign affiliates must be included in the large position report to meet the
three and one-half business day reporting requirement, regardless of holidays.
No, a custodian is not required to report on such positions, provided it does not have the
authority to exercise control (i.e., investment discretion) over the purchase, sale,
retention or financing of specific Treasury securities. However, if the custodian has the
authority to exercise control, the custodian would be required to report on such positions.
No, under Treasury's large position rules, neither a custodian nor an executing broker-dealer
is obligated to inform its customers of these recordkeeping and reporting requirements.
No, the Government Securities Act Amendments of 1993, which granted Treasury the authority to
write these rules, specifically provide that Treasury will not be compelled to disclose
publicly any information required to be kept or reported. In particular, such information
is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act.
3.3) Gross Financing Position
3.3.1) Two aggregating entities are part of the same reporting entity and are not recognized
as separate bidders in Treasury auctions. If the two aggregating entities conduct
intercompany financing transactions with one another involving the same security (i.e., the
same CUSIP and par amount), must both of these transactions be included in the gross financing
position of the reporting entity's large position report?
In this case, the reporting entity need only count the security once when preparing a large
position report. This approach allows firms to avoid multiple counting within a reporting
entity. For example, assume that aggregating entity A and aggregating entity B are part
of the same reporting entity. Aggregating entity A enters into a reverse repo and receives
$100 million of a security as collateral. It then repos out the $100 million security to
aggregating entity B. The reporting entity, upon submitting a large position report for the
CUSIP used in this example, would not have to include both $100 million transactions when
aggregating and reporting its gross financing position -- even though both aggregating
entities would have conducted reverse repos.
Even though the transactions involve the same security, they must be included in the large
position computations of each aggregating entity's respective reporting entity. If
aggregating entities A and B conduct transactions as described in question 3.3.1 and are
affiliated but part of separate reporting entities, the reporting entity for aggregating
entity A would have to count the $100 million security in its large position computation as
either a gross financing position or a net trading position, while the reporting entity for
aggregating entity B would be required to include the $100 million security in its gross
financing position. This approach applies in all cases where aggregating entities A and B
belong to separate reporting entities -- regardless of whether they are affiliated.
The reporting entity may exclude such collateral from its gross financing position computation.
The rules provide for an optional exclusion whereby a reporting entity may exclude from its
gross financing position the par value of securities received through reverse repos under one
or more of the following conditions: the counterparty retains the right to substitute
securities; the securities are subject to third party custodial relationships; or the
transactions are hold-in-custody agreements. However, this optional exclusion is not
limited to reverse repos; it applies to all components of the gross financing position
in which securities are received as collateral (e.g., collateral for financial derivatives
or other securities transactions).
Yes, under such circumstances, the securities qualify for the "right to substitution"
condition of the optional exclusion. The reporting entity may therefore exclude such
securities from its gross financing computation.
No, neither an overnight reverse repo nor any other type of overnight financing qualifies
for the optional exclusion, unless at least one of the previously specified conditions is
met (see question 3.3.3). This is because, as of the close of business of the reporting
date(s), which is when positions must be determined for large position reports, an overnight
reverse repo would be considered to be controlled by the reporting entity. The Treasury
specifically considered this topic when developing the rules and determined that no
differentiation would be made between reverse repos of varying contract maturities
(e.g., overnight vs. term reverse repos).
4) SECTION 420.4 - RECORDKEEPING
If a reporting entity determined that it did not control a position of $2 billion or more in
a Treasury security during the period December 11, 1994 - December 11, 1996, and thus was not
required to send a letter to Treasury, it is not subject to the large position recordkeeping
rules when they become effective March 31, 1997. However, if a reporting entity were to
control such a position after March 31, 1997, it (and certain of its aggregating entities)
would become immediately subject to the full range of large position recordkeeping rules.
Therefore, a reporting entity must take reasonable steps to have in place a process to
ensure that it can determine whether, subsequent to March 31, 1997, it controls a position
of $2 billion or more in any recently-issued Treasury security (e.g., a process for
monitoring its aggregate positions).
No, once a reporting entity becomes subject to the large position recordkeeping rules, it
must continue to make and maintain the required records even if it did not reach the
$2 billion large position threshold for an extended period of time.
If the funds, investment companies, or other entities do not have investment discretion
(e.g., if the authority to make and execute decisions regarding buying, selling, or retaining
securities resides with another entity, such as their investment adviser), they are not deemed
to have control of securities under the large position rules. In such cases, it is the
responsibility of the entity that has control of the securities (i.e., the reporting entity),
not such aggregating entities, to adhere to the recordkeeping requirements of the rules.
The reporting entity's records must include information concerning all securities for which
it exercises investment discretion, including the securities owned by other entities.
Yes, such an entity may have its records made by, and kept at, a third party, including a
third party that makes and maintains the records at another location (e.g., the offices of
an entity's prime or clearing broker-dealer). However, the entity that is subject to the
recordkeeping rules, not the third party that has been contracted to make and maintain the
records, remains responsible for compliance with such rules.
5) APPENDIX A TO PART 420 - SEPARATE REPORTING ENTITY
5.1) Does an entity qualify as a separate reporting entity without having to request such
status if it already has received recognition as a separate bidder for purposes of Treasury
auctions?
Yes, an entity that receives recognition as a separate bidder for auction purposes is also
recognized as a separate reporting entity without having to request this status. However,
the entity must maintain procedures (i.e., Chinese walls) to prevent the exchange of
information related to secondary market transactions in Treasury securities, not just
auction-related transactions, with any other aggregating entity.
No, the process does not work in the reverse direction. Therefore, an entity that would like
recognition as a separate reporting entity may want to consider requesting recognition as a
separate bidder for auction purposes and, if granted, automatically obtain separate reporting
entity recognition at the same time.
No, more than one request may be contained in a letter. However, the required information
for each request, such as the certification, should be provided separately for each requested
reporting entity in the letter.
Yes, since organizational components (e.g., bank trust departments) fall within the definition
of "aggregating entity," they may be recognized as separate reporting entities. As is the
case with separate bidder recognition in the auctions, organizational components are not
required to be distinct legal entities.
6) APPENDIX B TO PART 420 - SAMPLE LARGE POSITION REPORT
6.1) When submitting a large position report, is there a specific form that must be used?
What information must be submitted?
No, there is no specific form that is required. Rather than mandating a specific form,
Treasury permits reporting entities to develop their own large position reports, provided
that the reports contain all of the required information as detailed in the rules. It is
suggested that the following sample be used as a guide. Market participants are advised
to carefully read the rules to ensure that all the required information is reported correctly.
Failure to include any of the required information, including administrative information, in
the large position report will constitute non-compliance with the rules.
Yes, such an individual may sign a large position report as long as he or she is the
functional equivalent (i.e., has equivalent authority or responsibilities) of one of the
officials listed in the rules. For example, an entity's treasurer may sign the report in
lieu of a chief financial officer if he or she acts as the entity's top decision-maker
regarding the entity's financial matters.
