ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

The US Federal Reserve System published a five page rule on July 31, according to the U.S. Government Publishing Office.

The rule is focused on Securities Credit Transactions; List of Marginable OTC Stocks; List of Foreign Margin Stocks.

The Federal Reserve is the US's central bank, expanding many times during great financial uncertainty and panic. It has faced numerous criticisms since its creation in 1913, such as making the Great Depression worse and for lacking transparency and audits.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
