Reporting instructions for the FFIEC 101 would be revised accordingly. The change in reporting would apply only to bank holding companies. Reporting of information about the numerator of a savings association’s risk-based capital ratios. For the purposes of simplicity and comparability of reporting financial information among banks and savings associations under the Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework, the Agencies propose to delete Part 2 of Schedule A for savings associations. Instead, all banks, bank holding companies, and savings associations reporting under the Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework would report on the same Schedule A form (see https:// www.ffiec.gov/forms101.htm). Reporting instructions for the FFIEC 101 would be revised accordingly. Reporting of information on equity exposures. Banks subject to these reporting requirements currently provide information about equity exposure amounts and the risk-weighted asset amount of these exposures in Schedule R of the FFIEC 101. This schedule currently contains 22 line items (exposure categories, subtotals, and totals) and two columns (exposure and risk-weighted asset amounts) in which data are reported. A number of the line items listed on the schedule only apply to certain approaches contained within the final rule for calculating risk-weighted asset amounts for equity exposures. The agencies propose to reformat Schedule R to clarify what line items need to be reported based on which of the three approaches the bank uses to calculate risk-weighted asset amounts for its equity exposures: the simple risk weight approach (SRWA), the full internal models approach (full IMA), or the IMA applied to only publicly traded equity exposures (publicly traded or partial IMA). The reformatted version of Schedule R does not alter any of the existing line items in the current schedule. More specifically, neither the exposure categories nor the number of equity exposure items completed by banks using a given approach would change as a result of this proposal. Rather, the proposal is to expand the number of columns shown on the schedule from two to six to allow for reporting of a distinct set of exposure and riskweighted asset information for banks using the SRWA, a distinct set of exposure and risk-weighted asset VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:43 Oct 21, 2010 Jkt 223001 information for banks using the full IMA, and a distinct set of exposure and risk-weighted asset information for banks using the partial IMA. Each set of exposure and risk-weighted asset columns would appear with the heading of the applicable final rule approach used by the bank and only those exposure categories (including subtotals and totals) applicable to a given approach would appear within each columnar section of the reformatted schedule (see https://www.ffiec.gov/ forms101.htm). Reporting instructions for the FFIEC 101 would be revised accordingly. Request for Comment Public comment is requested on all aspects of this joint notice. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed revisions to the collection of information that are the subject of this notice are necessary for the proper performance of the agencies’ functions, including whether the information has practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the agencies’ estimates of the burden of the information collection as they are proposed to be revised, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; (d) Ways to minimize the burden of information collections on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) Estimates of capital or start up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. Comments submitted in response to this joint notice will be shared among the agencies and will be summarized or included in the agencies’ requests for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of public record. PO 00000 Frm 00113 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Dated: October 7, 2010.
