The Commission has published a request for comment to seek public input as to the disclosures called for by Industry Guide 3, Statistical Disclosure by Bank Holding Companies. Specifically, we sought comment on new or revised disclosure or the elimination of what may be duplicative or overlapping disclosures in Guide 3. We also sought input on whether any of the Guide 3 disclosures, which are not Commission rules or requirements, should be codified as Commission rules. Because we are considering modernization of the scope and applicability of Guide 3, we also encouraged commenters to consider registrants other than bank holding companies when recommending improvements to the disclosure regime. The request for comment is part of the staff’s broad-based review of the Commission’s disclosure requirement, including its consideration of how the disclosure system could be improved for the benefit of both investors and registrants. The Commission originally requested that comments on the request for comment be received by May 8, 2017. The Commission has received requests for an extension of time for public comment to, among other things, allow for adequate time to fully consider our request and to improve the quality of responses.1 In particular, we note that those requesting the extension have indicated that several industry participants are in the process of preparing for capital plan and annual and quarterly report deadlines and are therefore unable to perform the level of analysis and review of the request for SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1 See Letter from American Bankers Association (Mar. 24, 2017); and a joint Letter from The Clearing House Association, LLC, Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association and Financial Services Roundtable (Mar. 24, 2017).

100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission has published a request for 
comment to seek public input as to the disclosures called for by 
Industry Guide 3, Statistical Disclosure by Bank Holding Companies. 
Specifically, we sought comment on new or revised disclosure or the 
elimination of what may be duplicative or overlapping disclosures in 
Guide 3. We also sought input on whether any of the Guide 3 
disclosures, which are not Commission rules or requirements, should be 
codified as Commission rules. Because we are considering modernization 
of the scope and applicability of Guide 3, we also encouraged 
commenters to consider registrants other than bank holding companies 
when recommending improvements to the disclosure regime. The request 
for comment is part of the staff's broad-based review of the 
Commission's disclosure requirement, including its consideration of how 
the disclosure system could be improved for the benefit of both 
investors and registrants.
    The Commission originally requested that comments on the request 
for comment be received by May 8, 2017. The Commission has received 
requests for an extension of time for public comment to, among other 
things, allow for adequate time to fully consider our request and to 
improve the quality of responses.\1\ In particular, we note that those 
requesting the extension have indicated that several industry 
participants are in the process of preparing for capital plan and 
annual and quarterly report deadlines and are therefore unable to 
perform the level of analysis and review of the request for comment to 
provide thoughtful responses to the detailed questions posed in the 
request before the comment period closes on May 8, 2017. The Commission 
believes that providing the public additional time to consider 
thoroughly the matters addressed by the request for comment and to 
submit comprehensive responses to the request for comment would benefit 
the Commission in its consideration of possible revisions to its 
disclosure regime for bank holding companies. Therefore, the Commission 
is extending the comment period for Release No. 33-10321; 34-80131; 
File No. S7-02-17 ``Request for Comment on Possible Changes to Industry 
Guide 3 (Statistical Disclosure By Bank Holding Companies)'' until July 
7, 2017.
