Risk Measures Pertaining to Stress
Conditions
rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
Ability To Withstand Stress Conditions
• Concentration measures: measures of the
level of concentrated risk exposures and
extent to which an insured institution’s
capital and earnings would be adversely
affected due to exposures to common risk
factors such as the condition of a single
obligor, poor industry sector conditions, poor
local or regional economic conditions, or
poor conditions for groups of related obligors
(e.g., subprime borrowers).
• Results of stress tests or scenario
analyses: measures of the extent of capital,
earnings, or liquidity depletion under
varying degrees of financial stress such as
adverse economic, industry, market, and
liquidity events.
• Qualitative and mitigating factors
relating to the ability to withstand stress
conditions: includes considerations such as
the comprehensiveness of risk identification
and stress testing analyses, the plausibility of
stress scenarios considered, and the
sensitivity of scenario analyses to changes in
assumptions.
Loss Severity Indicators
• Non-deposit liabilities to total liabilities:
the sum of obligations, such as subordinated
debt, that would have a subordinated claim
to the institution’s assets in the event of
failure divided by total liabilities.
• Secured (priority) liabilities to total
liabilities: the sum of claims, such as trade
payables and secured borrowings, that would
have priority claim to the institution’s assets
in the event of failure divided by total
liabilities.
• Foreign deposits to total liabilities:
foreign deposits divided by total liabilities.
• Extent of insured assets held in foreign
units: amount of assets held in foreign
offices.
• Liquidation value of assets: estimated
value of assets, based largely on historical
loss rates experienced by the FDIC on various
asset classes, in the event of liquidation.
• Qualitative and mitigating factors
relating to loss severity: includes
considerations such as the sufficiency of
information and systems capabilities relating
to qualified financial contracts and deposits
to facilitate quick and cost efficient
resolution, the extent to which critical
functions or staff are housed outside the
insured entity, and prospects for ring-fencing
in the event of failure.

America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002,
Public Law 107–252, Section 291,
Payments for Protection and Advocacy
Systems, 42 U.S.C. 15461). Each State or

report will be aggregated into an annual
profile of how States have utilized the
funds and establish best practices for
election officials. It will also provide an
overview of the State election goals and
accomplishments and permit the
Administration on Developmental
Disabilities to track voting progress to
monitor grant activities.
Respondents: Secretaries of State,
Directors, State Election Boards, State

Title: Evaluation of the Refugee Social
Service (RSS) and Targeted Assistance
Formula Grant (TAG) Programs: Data
Collection.
OMB No.: 0970–0296.
Description: The Office of Refugee
Resettlement (ORR) within the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) funds the Refugee Social
Services (RSS) and Targeted Assistance
Formula Grant (TAG) programs, which
are designed to help refugees achieve
economic success quickly following
their arrival in the United states through
employment services, English-language
instruction, vocational training, and
other social services. ORR is sponsoring
a project to (a) Conduct a
comprehensive evaluation of the
effectiveness of ORR employability
services through RSS and TAG, and (b)
propose options for institutionalizing
ongoing evaluation and performance
assessment into the programs.
ORR is requesting renewal of OMB
clearance for a survey of refugees that is
collecting data on refugees’ employment
and earnings outcomes. Survey
interviews began in July 2006, and are
still ongoing. The survey is being
conducted in three cities: Houston,
Miami, and Sacramento. The survey
relies on a mixed-mode data collection
method that involves both telephone
and in-person interviews. If individuals
cannot be reached by phone, an attempt
is made to contact them in person.
Three hundred refugees from a
randomly selected sample in each site
will complete the survey, for a total of
900 refugees.
While locating and interviewing this
population was expected to be difficult
due to their high mobility, achieving the
goal of 900 complete responses needed
for reliable analysis, while maintaining
reasonable response rates, has proven
more time-consuming than expected. As
of January 26, 2007, 668 refugees have
already completed the survey.
Conservatively estimating that slightly
more than half of the remaining 232
cases are completed before the current
clearance expires, about 100 interviews
would be needed during the extension
period. Consequently, ORR is requesting
clearance to continue the survey past its
current expiration date in March 2007.
Respondents: Refugees and related
populations that qualify for RSS/TAG
services who entered the United States
between October 1999 and September
2004.
