Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 220 / Thursday, November 13, 2008 / Notices mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES Schedule RC, data item 5. Proposed memoranda items 1 through 6.b would be reported by Edge and agreement corporations that reported trading assets of $1 billion or more in Schedule RC, data item 5. These thresholds are consistent with the thresholds for filing, and all data items on this schedule would be defined as reported, on FR Y– 9C Schedule HC–D. The consolidated FR Y–9C incorporates data from subsidiary Edge and agreement corporations. As mentioned previously, this reporting form collects the same trading asset and liability data items that are being proposed on the FR 2886b. Therefore, FR 2886b respondents should not realize a significant increase in reporting burden with the creation of Schedule RC–D as such information is already collected (or soon will be) for reporting on the FR Y–9C. Revisions to Information Collected on Option Contracts and Swaps Respondents currently report the notional value of option contracts in Schedule RC–L, Derivatives and OffBalance-Sheet Items, in data item 10, with a breakout between written and purchased option contracts. Information by type of option contract is not currently collected. Written option contracts data reported by FR 2886b respondents have increased 308 percent to $1,120 billion between March 31, 2000 and March 31, 2008. Purchased option contracts have increased 294 percent to $1,079 billion over this same time period. To better assess the risk associated with each type of option contract, the Federal Reserve proposes to collect the following breakouts for written options and purchased options: Interest rate contracts, foreign exchange contracts, equity derivative contracts, and commodity and other contracts. Respondents also currently report the notional value of swaps in Schedule RC–L, data item 11, with a breakout between interest rate swaps, foreign exchange swaps, and other swaps. Other swaps data reported by FR 2886b respondents has increased by 229 percent to $186 billion between March 31, 2000, and March 31, 2008. To better assess the risk associated with the growing use of these types of swap contracts included in the other category, the Federal Reserve proposes to split this data item into equity derivative swap contracts, and commodity and other swap contracts. The consolidated FR Y–9C report incorporates data from subsidiary Edge and agreement corporations. This report collects the categories of option contracts and swap contracts that are VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:13 Nov 12, 2008 Jkt 217001 being proposed. Therefore, FR 2886b respondents should not realize a significant increase in reporting burden with these proposed revisions to Schedule RC–L as such information is already collected for reporting on the FR Y–9C. Proposal To Approve Under OMB Delegated Authority the Extension for Three Years, With Revision, of the Following Report 6. 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: Top-tier bank holding companies (BHCs), including financial holding companies (FHCs), for all insured depository institutions that are owned by the BHC and by foreign banking organizations (FBOs) that directly own a U.S. subsidiary bank Annual reporting hours: 52,010. Estimated average hours per response: Institutions with covered transactions: 7.8; Institutions without covered transactions: 1.0. Number of respondents: Institutions with covered transactions: 1,013; Institutions without covered transactions: 5,101. 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)). 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. Current Actions: The Federal Reserve proposes to require that all respondents electronically submit all FR Y–8 reports effective with the June 30, 2009, report date. The Federal Reserve proposes the electronic submission requirement to increase the quality and timeliness of the data.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For forty years, the Federal Trade Commission has published periodic reports containing data on domestic cigarette sales and marketing expenditures by the major U.S. cigarette manufacturers. The Commission has published comparable reports on smokeless tobacco sales and marketing expenditures since 1987. Both reports originally were issued pursuant to statutory mandates. After those statutory mandates were terminated, the Commission continued to collect and publish information obtained from the cigarette and smokeless tobacco industries pursuant to Section 6(b) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 46(b). The current PRA clearance to collect this information is valid through January 31, 2009, under OMB Control No. 3084-0134. The FTC plans to continue sending information requests annually to the ultimate parent company of several of the largest cigarette companies and smokeless tobacco companies in the United States (‘‘industry members’’). The information requests will seek data regarding, inter alia: (1) the tobacco sales of industry members; (2) how much industry members spend advertising and promoting their tobacco products, and the specific amounts E:\FR\FM\13NON1.SGM 13NON1
