Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 208), which requires each state member 
bank to develop and maintain a written security program for the bank's 
main office and branches within 180 days of becoming a member of the 
Federal Reserve System.
    Legal authorization and confidentiality: Section 3 of the Bank 
Protection Act of 1968 authorizes the FR 4004 recordkeeping

for banks with respect to the installation, maintenance, and 
operation of security devices and procedures to discourage 
robberies, burglaries, and larcenies and to assist in the 
identification and apprehension of persons who commit such acts).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Entities subject to the FR 4004 recordkeeping requirement generally 
are not required to provide such information to the Board. If the Board 
obtained information retained pursuant to the FR 4004 as part of an 
examination or supervision of a financial institution, it may be 
considered confidential under exemption 8 of the Freedom of Information 
Act (FOIA).\2\ Information provided under the FR 4004 may also be kept 
confidential under FOIA exemption 4 as confidential commercial or 
financial information that is both customarily and actually treated as 
private.\3\
