G. Data Items
One commenter noted that several
data items differ from the information
collected in the last G–SIB exercise. The
Federal Reserve notes that the FR Y–15
reporting form contains some additional
data items in the total exposures section
in order to capture several definitional
decision points that have yet to be
decided by the BCBS. Capturing this
information ensures a consistent data
series is available once the final
definitions have been adopted. Without
these additional items, subsequent
definitional changes would diminish
the comparability of new data with
previous submissions. The Federal
Reserve intends to remove any FR Y–15
data item that is inconsistent with the
final data collected in the G–SIB
initiative, unless that item is useful as
a supplementary indicator of systemic
risk. The Federal Reserve notes that FR
Y–15 data provided to Basel for the
purposes of the G–SIB calculation will
be consistent with the most current G–
SIB data collection definitions.
The Federal Reserve also notes that an
additional data item has been added to
the payments section that captures
payments made in all other currencies
not specifically listed. This additional
data item provides insight into the true
payments activity of the respondent by
capturing payments made outside of the
major global currencies. Furthermore,
the list of currencies collected as part of
the G–SIB methodology is subject to
change in the future, so it is
recommended that institutions build
their systems such that they can capture
more than just the twelve currencies
indicated. The Federal Reserve will
retain this additional payments data
item.
Several commenters stated that some
data items on the FR Y–15 have yet to
be finalized by the BCBS, such as Level
1 and Level 2 assets in the Liquidity
Coverage Ratio (LCR). Commenters also
stated that these and other data items
are computed under frameworks that
have not been fully implemented in the
U.S. These commenters stated that it is
inappropriate to require attestation of
such data and suggested excluding these
items from the FR Y–15 until such time
that the underlying frameworks are fully
implemented in the U.S.
The Federal Reserve acknowledges
that the LCR has not yet been
implemented in the United States.
However, because Level 1 and Level 2
assets are a part of the overall
calculation of a firm’s systemic risk, the
Federal Reserve will continue to collect
this information. The Federal Reserve
will adopt the current definitions of
VerDate Mar<15>2010
20:15 Dec 27, 2012
Jkt 229001
Level 1 and Level 2 assets from the LCR
for the end-2012 data collection.
Furthermore, the Federal Reserve
intends to update the instructions as
necessary to reflect definitional
revisions adopted by Basel.
Two commenters raised concerns
about the difficulty of reporting gross
payments activity, as payments are
cleared using numerous internal
systems and some are only recorded on
a net basis. Considering the difficulty
associated with aggregating the
payments data, the Federal Reserve will
allow reporting of reasonable estimates
for the payments panel by requiring
attestation of only a specified number of
significant figures. Furthermore, should
the precise data be unavailable, the
Federal Reserve will allow known
overestimates to be reported. Finally,
due to the calculation burden associated
with providing the subset of payments
made on behalf of other institutions, the
Federal Reserve will remove these data
items from the FR Y–15 report.
Commenters asked for a number of
clarifications regarding specific data
items on the proposed FR Y–15 form.
The Federal Reserve has addressed
questions related to BHC reporting in
the final version of the FR Y–15
instructions. The Federal Reserve plans
to address questions related to SLHCs
and FBOs in proposed instructions at
the time that these institutions are made
subject to relevant reporting
requirements.
H. Burden Estimate
Several commenters believed that the
180 hour burden estimate vastly
underestimated the actual burden on
firms, especially those firms that are
currently subject to Basel I and have
never participated in an international
data collection. The Federal Reserve
concurs and, as noted above, proposes
phasing in smaller BHCs so as to allow
additional time for collection and
auditing of their initial FR Y–15
submissions. Considering the comments
received from industry, the Federal
Reserve has increased the burden
estimate, particularly for initial
submissions.

Rates.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The General Services
Administration’s annual privately
owned vehicle (POV) mileage
reimbursement rate reviews have
resulted in new CY 2013 rates for the
use of privately owned automobiles
(POA), POAs when Government owned
automobiles (GOA) are authorized,
privately owned motorcycles, and
privately owned airplanes for official
purposes. FTR Bulletin 13–02
establishes the new CY 2013 mileage
reimbursement rates ($0.565 for POAs,
$0.24 for POAs when a GOA is
authorized, $0.535 for privately owned
motorcycles, and $1.33 for privately
owned airplanes) pursuant to the
process discussed below. This notice of
subject bulletin is the only notification
of revisions to the POV rates to agencies
other than the changes posted on the
GSA Web site. GSA determines these
rates by reviewing the annual standard
automobile study contracted for by the
Internal Revenue Service, as well as
conducting independent automobile,
motorcycle, and aircraft studies that
evaluate various factors, such as the cost
of fuel, the depreciation of the original
vehicles costs, maintenance and
insurance, and or by applying consumer
price index data.
DATES: Effective date: This notice is
effective December 28, 2012 and applies
to travel performed on or after January
1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.

Information Collection Request Title:
Evaluation of the National Partnership
for Action to End Health Disparities.
Abstract: The Office of Minority
Health (OMH) in the Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH),
Office of the Secretary (OS) is requesting
approval from the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for new data
collection activities for the Evaluation of
the National Partnership for Action to
End Health Disparities (NPA). The NPA
was officially launched in April 2011 to
mobilize a nationwide, comprehensive,
community-driven, and sustained
approach to combating health
disparities and to move the nation
toward achieving health equity. Using
an approach that vests those at the front
line with the responsibility of
identifying and helping to shape core
actions, new approaches and new
partnerships are being established to
help close the health gap in the United
States. OMH proposes to conduct an
evaluation of the NPA. The evaluation’s
goal is to determine the extent to which
the NPA has contributed to the
elimination of health disparities and
attainment of health equity in our
nation. The evaluation will accomplish
this goal by (1) determining the degree
to which a structure (e.g., partnerships,
programmatic reach, communications,
committees) to implement the NPA
goals and strategies has been
established; (2) Collecting, analyzing,
and summarizing baseline data for core
indicators of immediate and
intermediate outcomes (e.g., changes in
policy, procedures, and practices to
diversify workforce, promote cultural
competency, affect social determinants,
build leadership, and increase public
support for ending health disparities
and achieving health equity); (3)
Developing criteria for promising
practices for ending health disparities
and identifying such practices; (4)
Beginning to monitor data on social
determinants of health and health
outcomes using secondary sources.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: The goal of the NPA
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
evaluation is to determine the extent to
which the NPA has contributed to the
elimination of health disparities and the
attainment of health equity in our
nation. The data to be collected will be
used to inform the various stakeholders
involved in implementation of the NPA
and the National Stakeholder Strategy
about progress, results, lessons learned,
and necessary mid-course adjustments.
The evaluation team will facilitate
meetings to reflect and discuss the
findings with OMH’s leadership, staff,
and the implementation and
communications teams that support the
NPA. The meetings will focus on the
lessons learned and their implications
on strategy improvement and
implementation.
Information from the evaluation will
also be shared with Congress through its
inclusion in OMH’s biennial report to
Congress.
