SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) to include agency requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, the OCC is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information set forth in this document. The OCC is proposing to extend OMB approval of the following information collection: Title of Information Collection: Funding and Liquidity Risk Management. OMB Control No.: 1557–0244. Type of Review: Extension, without revision, of a currently approved collection. Description: The Interagency Policy Statement on Funding and Liquidity Risk Management 1 (Policy Statement) summarizes the principles of sound liquidity risk management that the agencies have issued in the past 2 and, where appropriate, harmonizes these principles with the international statement issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision titled ‘‘Principles for Sound Liquidity 1 75 FR 13656 (Mar. 22, 2010). national banks and Federal savings associations, see the Comptroller’s Handbook on Liquidity. For state member banks and bank holding companies, see the Federal Reserve’s Commercial Bank Examination Manual (section 4020), Bank Holding Company Supervision Manual (section 4010), and Trading and Capital Markets Activities Manual (section 2030). For state non-member banks, see the FDIC’s Revised Examination Guidance for Liquidity and Funds Management (Trans. No. 2002–01) (Nov. 19, 2001), and Financial Institution Letter 84–2008, Liquidity Risk Management (August 2008).

Section 14 of the Policy Statement provides that financial institutions should consider liquidity costs, benefits, and risks in strategic planning and budgeting processes. Significant business activities should be evaluated for liquidity risk exposure as well as profitability. More complex and sophisticated financial institutions should incorporate liquidity costs, benefits, and risks in the internal product pricing, performance measurement, and new product approval process for all material business lines, products, and activities. Incorporating the cost of liquidity into these functions should align the risktaking incentives of individual business lines with the liquidity risk exposure their activities create for the institution as a whole. The quantification and attribution of liquidity risks should be explicit and transparent at the line management level, and should include consideration of how liquidity would be affected under stressed conditions. Section 20 of the Policy Statement requires that liquidity risk reports provide aggregate information with sufficient supporting detail to enable management to assess the sensitivity of the institution to changes in market conditions, its own financial performance, and other important risk factors. Institutions also should report on the use of and availability of government support, such as lending and guarantee programs, and implications on liquidity positions, particularly since these programs are generally temporary or reserved as a source for contingent funding. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit. Estimated Burden: The OCC estimates the burden of this collection of information on national banks and Federal savings associations as follows: Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,833 total (13 large (over $100 billion in assets), 47 mid-size ($10–$100 billion), 1,773 small (less than $10 billion). Estimated Burden under Section 14: 360 hours per large respondent, 120 hours per mid-size respondent, and 40 hours per small respondent. 3 Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, ‘‘Principles for Sound Liquidity Risk Management and Supervision,’’ September 2008.
