(a) Each member organization carrying securities margin accounts for customers shall make a record each day of every case in which, pursuant to the rules of the Exchange or Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, initial or additional margin must be obtained in a customer's account. The record shall show, for each account, the amount of margin so required and the date when and manner in which cash or securities are deposited or the margin requirements were otherwise complied with.

(b) Pursuant to Rule 431(f)(7), no member organization shall permit a customer to make a practice of effecting transactions requiring initial margin and then meeting the margin required by liquidation of the same or other commitments; except that the provisions of this section (b) shall not apply to any account carried on an omnibus basis as prescribed by Regulation T of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

The record must be kept available for inspection at the office at which it is maintained.
