that a broker or dealer has been unable to secure the identification 
required within the 30-day period specified, it shall nevertheless not 
be deemed to be in violation of this section if: (i) It has made a 
reasonable effort to secure such identification, and (ii) it maintains a 
list containing the names, addresses, and account numbers of those 
persons from whom it has been unable to secure such identification, and 
makes the names, addresses, and account numbers of those persons

person's passport number or a description of some other government 
document used to verify his identity.
    (2) The 30-day period provided for in paragraph (a)(1) of this 
section shall be extended where the person opening the account has 
applied for a taxpayer identification or social security number on Form 
SS-4 or SS-5, until such time as the person maintaining the account has 
had a reasonable opportunity to secure such number and furnish it to the 
broker or dealer.
    (3) A taxpayer identification number for a deposit or share account 
required under paragraph (a)(1) of this section need not be secured in 
the following instances: (i) Accounts for public funds opened by 
agencies and instrumentalities of Federal, state, local, or foreign 
governments, (ii) accounts for aliens who are (a) ambassadors, 
ministers, career diplomatic or consular officers, or (b) naval, 
military or other attaches of foreign embassies, and legations, and for 
the members of their immediate families, (iii) accounts for aliens who 
are accredited representatives to international organizations which are 
entitled to enjoy privileges, exemptions, and immunities as an 
international organization under the International Organizations 
Immunities Act of December 29, 1945 (22 U.S.C. 288), and for the members 
of their immediate families, (iv) aliens temporarily residing in the 
United States for a period not to exceed 180 days, (v) aliens not 
engaged in a trade or business in the United States who are attending a 
recognized college or university or any training program, supervised or 
conducted by any agency of the Federal Government, and (vi) 
unincorporated subordinate units of a tax exempt central organization 
which are covered by a group exemption letter.
    (b) Every broker or dealer in securities shall, in addition, retain 
either the original or a microfilm or other copy or reproduction of each 
of the following:
    (1) Each document granting signature or trading authority over each 
customer's account;

credit, of more than $10,000 to a person, account, or place, outside the 
United States;
    (4) A record of each receipt of currency, other monetary 
instruments, checks, or investment securities and of each transfer of 
funds or credit, of more than $10,000 received on any one occasion
