Proposal to approve under OMB delegated authority the extension for three years, without revision, of the following report: 1. Report title: Bank Holding Company Report of Insured Depository Institutions’ Section 23A Transactions with Affiliates Agency form number: FR Y–8 OMB control number: 7100–0126 Frequency: Quarterly Reporters: All top–tier bank holding companies (BHCs), including financial holding companies (FHCs), and foreign banking organizations (FBOs) that directly own U.S. subsidiary banks. Annual reporting hours: 53,419 hours Estimated average hours per response: Institutions with covered transactions, 7.8 hours; institutions without covered transactions, 1 hour Number of respondents: 6,310 General description of report: This information collection is mandatory (section 5(c)) of the Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C. 1844(c)) and section 225.5(b) of Regulation Y (12 CFR 225.5(b)) and is given confidential treatment (5 U.S.C 552(b)(4) and (8)). Abstract: This reporting form collects information on transactions between an insured depository institution and its affiliates that are subject to section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. The primary purpose of the data is to enhance the Federal Reserve’s ability to monitor bank exposures to affiliates and to ensure banks’ compliance with section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act. Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act is one of the most important statutes on limiting exposures to individual institutions and protecting against the expansion of the federal safety net. rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES1 Proposal to approve under OMB delegated authority the discontinuance of the following reports: 1. Report title: Weekly Report of Eurodollar Liabilities Held by Selected U.S. Addressees at Foreign Offices of U.S. Banks Agency form number: FR 2050 OMB Control number: 7100–0068 Effective Date: Respondents will submit their final data for the reporting week ending March 6, 2006. Frequency: Weekly Reporters: Foreign branches and banking subsidiaries of U.S. depository institutions. Annual reporting hours: 1,872 hours VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:44 Jan 23, 2006 Jkt 208001 Estimated average hours per response: 1.0 hour Number of respondents: 36 General description of report: This information collection is voluntary (12 U.S.C. §§ 248(a)(2), 353 et seq., 461, 602, and 625). Individual respondent’s data are confidential under section (b)(4) of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)). Abstract: The report collects data on Eurodollar deposits payable to nonbank U.S. addressees from foreign branches and subsidiaries of U.S. commercial banks and Edge and agreement corporations. The data are used for the construction of the Eurodollar component of the monetary aggregates and for analysis of banks’ liability management practices. Current Actions: The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System announced on November 10, 2005, that it would cease publication of the M3 monetary aggregate on March 23, 2006. M3 does not appear to contain any additional information about economic activity that is not already embodied in M2. Moreover, the role of M3 in the monetary policy process has greatly diminished over time. The costs to the Federal Reserve and the private sector of collecting data and publishing M3 now outweigh the benefits. The discontinuation of this report will reduce private sector burden by 1,872 hours per year. 2. Report title: Report of Repurchase Agreements (RPs) on U.S. Government and Federal Agency Securities with Specified Holders Agency form number: FR 2415 OMB Control number: 7100–0074 Effective Date: Weekly reporters will submit their final FR 2415 for the report week ending March 6, 2006. Quarterly reporters will submit their final data for the week containing the last calendar day of December 2005. Since annual reporters submit data for the week containing June 30, they will no longer file the FR 2415. Frequency: Weekly, quarterly, or annually Reporters: U.S chartered commercial banks, U.S branches and agencies of foreign banks, thrift institutions, and credit unions Annual reporting hours: 2,615 hours Estimated average hours per response: 30 minutes Number of respondents: 84 weekly, 128 quarterly, and 350 annually Small businesses are not affected. General description of report: This information collection is voluntary (12 U.S.C. 248(a)(2) and 3105(b)) and is given confidential treatment (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)). PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Abstract: This voluntary report collects one data item, repurchase agreements (RPs), in denominations of $100,000 or more, in immediately– available funds, on U.S. government and federal agency securities, transacted with specified holders. Depository institutions file the FR 2415 report weekly, quarterly or annually depending on the volume of their RPs. In general, the larger the respondent’s level of RPs, the more frequent is its reporting. The weekly panel reports daily data once each week; the quarterly panel files daily data for the four one– week reporting periods that contain quarter–end dates; the annual panel reports daily data only for the week encompassing June 30 each year. The primary purpose of the data is for construction of the RP component of the M3 monetary aggregate and for analysis of depository institutions’ funding practices. Current Actions: The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System announced on November 10, 2005, that it would cease publication of the M3 monetary aggregate on March 23, 2006. M3 does not appear to contain any additional information about economic activity that is not already embodied in M2. Moreover, the role of M3 in the monetary policy process has greatly diminished over time. The costs to the Federal Reserve and the private sector of collecting data and publishing M3 now outweigh the benefits. The discontinuation of this report will reduce private sector burden by 2,615 hours per year. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, January 19, 2006. Jennifer J.
