## Abstract

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury and after seeking public comment, has determined by rule that acting as a finder is an activity that is incidental to a financial activity and therefore permissible for a financial holding company. The Board's final rule amends Subpart I of Regulation Y by adding acting as a finder to the list of activities that a financial holding company may conduct using the streamlined post- transaction notice procedure authorized by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The final rule allows a financial holding company to bring together buyers and sellers of products and services for transactions that the buyers and sellers themselves negotiate and consummate. The rule provides examples of specific services that a financial holding company may and may not perform when acting as a finder under the rule. The rule also requires a financial holding company that acts as a finder to provide appropriate disclosures to distinguish products and services that are offered by the financial holding company from those that are offered by a third party using the financial holding company's finder service.
