Public Law 111–203, § 312(b)(1) and 12 U.S.C. 1467a(b)(2), as amended by Public Law 111–201, § 369(8). The Federal Reserve has determined that a few of the items that the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) had deemed confidential—specifically, the FR 2320 counterparts to items HC850, HC855, and HC860 on Schedule HC of the Thrift Financial Report (TFR; OMB No. 1557– 0255)—may be protected from disclosure under exemption 4 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)). With regard to the remaining items the OTS had deemed confidential on Schedule HC, the SLHC may request, in writing, confidential treatment of such information under one or more of the exemptions in FOIA, 5 U.S.C. 552(b). All such requests for confidential treatment would be reviewed on a caseby-case basis and in response to a specific request for disclosure. Current actions: The Federal Reserve proposes to implement the Quarterly Savings and Loan Holding Company Report (FR 2320) from SLHCs exempt from initially filing Federal Reserve regulatory reports.1 These data would be the same as data previously collected on Schedule HC of the TFR.2 Title III of the Dodd-Frank Act transferred all former OTS authorities (including rulemaking) related to SLHCs to the Federal Reserve on July 21, 2011. Consequently, the Federal Reserve became responsible for the consolidated supervision of SLHCs beginning July 21, 2011. These data would assist the Federal Reserve in the evaluation of a diversified holding company and in determining whether an SLHC is in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Data collected with the proposed FR 2320 would contribute to the analyses of the overall financial condition of exempt SLHCs to ensure safe and sound operations. The proposed new FR 2320 would collect parent only and consolidated financial data and organizational 1 Under the current reporting proposal for SLHCs (76 FR 53129), an exempt SLHC meets one of the following criteria (1) formed under section 10(c)(9)(C) of the Home Owners’ Loan Act (HOLA) whose saving association subsidiaries’ consolidated assets make up less than 5 percent of the total consolidated assets of the SLHCs, or (2) its top-tier holding company is an insurance company that only prepares financial statements using statutory accounting principles. The definition of an exempt SLHC is subject to change, based on comments received from the public during the comment period. 2 Early in 2011, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of Thrift Supervision issued notice of the elimination of the TFR after the December 31, 2011, report date. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:38 Nov 09, 2011 Jkt 226001 structure data. The new report would be effective as of the March 31, 2012, report date. The proposed FR 2320 report would generally be filed by the top-tier SLHCs. However, in situations where the top-tier SLHC is not the direct owner of the thrift or does not control the thrift, a lower tier SLHC may be required to file instead of the top-tier SLHC. In addition, lower tier SLHCs may voluntarily file Schedule HC or may be required to file in addition to the top-tier for safety and soundness purposes. The proposed new report would be submitted quarterly as of the end of March, June, September, and December. If a SLHC has a quarter-end other than a calendar quarter-end, data from the fiscal quarter ending within the calendar quarter may be used to complete the FR 2320.3 The filing deadline would be 45 calendar days after the March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 as-of date. Respondents would be required to submit all items of the proposed FR 2320 report, both financial and nonfinancial, electronically using the Federal Reserve’s Internet Electronic Submission (IESUB) application. The IESUB application would validate the report data for mathematical and logical consistency, calculate derived items, and provide the reporting institution with a confirmation receipt of its submission. Any respondent interested in learning more about the IESUB application would be directed to the Federal Reserve Bank Services— Reporting Central Web site and their Federal Reserve Bank contact (https:// www.frbservices.org/centralbank/ reportingcentral/).

General description of report: This information collection is mandatory pursuant to 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)). The data are confidential pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)). Section (b)(4) exempts information deemed competitively sensitive from disclosure. 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.
