Change in Bank Control Notices; Acquisitions of Shares of a Bank or Bank Holding Company, 38978-38979 [2013-15516]

Download as PDF tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 38978 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 125 / Friday, June 28, 2013 / Notices the coverage of the federal funds market. At this time, the Federal Reserve has no source of transaction data from the Eurodollar market, so the transaction data collected in this report would be the main source of Eurodollar data for the Desk at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY). In addition, many firms can easily switch between these liabilities. Eurodollar data need to be collected to prevent reporting institutions from booking trades as Eurodollars instead of federal funds to avoid the reporting requirement. For purposes of the FR 2420, ‘‘Eurodollar transactions’’ would be defined as all unsecured liabilities at the close of business in U.S. dollars booked at each non-U.S. office whose total assets exceed $2 billion at the close of business for the report date. Excluded from Eurodollar transactions are: • Demand deposits (as defined on the Schedule E of the Call Report) and any deposit placed under sweep agreements or other contractual cash management agreements (as defined in the General Instructions of Report of Transaction Accounts, Other Deposits and Vault Cash (FR 2900; OMB No. 7100–0087) instructions), • Debt instruments (as defined on Schedule B and Schedule D of the Call Report), • Repurchase agreements and security lending transactions (as defined on RC, Item 14.b on the Call Report and RAL on the FFIEC 002), • Related Party Transactions, • Overdrafts, • Intraday transactions, • Liabilities to individuals, and • All forward starting transactions, even when the reporting date is the settlement date. Eurodollar transactions would be collected only from foreign offices of domestic commercial banks and thrifts and not from U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks. CDs (Part C)—Data on CD transactions would provide an alternative source of data for the current daily survey of CD rates conducted by the Federal Reserve. These data would also improve market monitoring capabilities because it would provide CD interest rate information that is not currently available. These data could also provide some optionality for creating a broadbased unsecured dollar rate: the CD rates could be combined with the daily commercial paper rates and the federal funds and Eurodollar rates in this collection. For purposes of the FR 2420, reportable CD transactions would be defined as those CDs that have a term of seven days or more that are booked in U.S. offices in U.S. dollars and VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:17 Jun 27, 2013 Jkt 229001 denominated in amounts of $250 thousand or more. Reportable CD transactions would include CDs evidenced by a negotiable or nonnegotiable instrument, or CDs in book-entry form evidenced by a receipt or similar acknowledgement issued by the bank. Unlike federal funds and Eurodollars, CDs may have floating rates. For that reason, the FR 2420 would collect additional data fields for reportable CD transactions that would be necessary to understand the interest rate structure over the life of each CD. These data items would be: Floating or Fixed Rate—Respondents would provide values to indicate if the CD has a floating rate or is a fixed rate. Reset Period—Respondents would provide a value to describe the frequency from the list below for when the rate for the reported CD can reset: • No Reset, • Weekly, • Monthly, • Quarterly, • Semi-annual, • Annual, or • Other. Reference Rate—If the CD has a floating rate, respondents would enter a value to describe the reference rate: • 0—NA, • 1—Federal Funds Effective Rate, • 2—Prime, • 3—1 Month U.S. Treasury Constant Maturity Rate, • 4—1 Month LIBOR, • 5—3 Month LIBOR, • 6—Overnight Swap Index, or • 7—Other. Negotiability—Respondents would indicate if the CD is negotiable or nonnegotiable. Reporting panel—Since federal funds are the key category for this data collection, the FR 2420 reporting panel would be comprised of commercial banks, thrifts, and branches and agencies of foreign banks. Commercial banks and thrifts with $26 billion or more in total assets on the September 30 Call Report each year would be required to submit the FR 2420 daily for the following year. This threshold would currently capture the 50 largest depository institutions which would provide sufficient coverage to have a statistically representative sample. U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks would be required to report daily, if third-party assets are $900 million or more on the September 30 FFIEC 002. This threshold would currently capture the 105 largest U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks. The combined reporter panel would capture 155 banking institutions and would be based on definitions that PO 00000 Frm 00067 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 would cap the panel size at the point of significantly reduced marginal benefits. Using the total federal funds purchased data on the September 30, 2012, Call Report, the combined panel of 155 banking institutions is expected to capture over 80 percent of federal funds outstanding. This would create a relatively small aggregate panel, minimizing the number of institutions that would be subject to the reporting burden, yet would be expected to capture a significant portion of the targeted transaction volume. Frequency—The FR 2420 report would be submitted daily. Data collected would be used by FRBNY daily as part of the market monitoring responsibilities. Part of that analysis would be calculating average rates across products and tenors, and following trends in the aggregate levels of transactions. In order to calculate timely effective rates, daily data are needed. Time Schedule for Information Collection—The FR 2420 is a mandatory electronic report. Respondents would be required to file the FR 2420 daily with the FRBNY by 7 a.m. ET each business day for the preceding day’s reportable transactions. There would be a short transition period, during which respondents would be permitted to file their daily data at a later hour. The transition period would provide time for reporters to upgrade their systems to meet these data demands. During the transition period, daily data during for fourth quarter of 2013 would be due no later than 10 a.m. ET the next business day. Daily data for January 2014 would be due no later than 9 a.m. ET the next business day. Data for February 2014 would be due no later 8 a.m. ET the next business day. Data for March 2014 and thereafter would be due no later than 7 a.m. ET the next business day. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, June 24, 2013. Robert deV.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposed Project Medical Expenditure Panel Survey— Insurance Component Employer-sponsored health insurance is the source of coverage for 78 million current and former workers, plus many of their family members, and is a cornerstone of the U.S. health care system. The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey—Insurance Component (MEPS– IC) measures the extent, cost, and coverage of employer-sponsored health insurance on an annual basis. These statistics are produced at the National, State, and sub-State (metropolitan area) level for private industry. Statistics are also produced for State and Local governments. This research has the following goals: (1) To provide data for Federal policymakers evaluating the effects of National and State health care reforms. (2) To provide descriptive data on the current employer-sponsored health insurance system and data for modeling the differential impacts of proposed health policy initiatives. (3) To supply critical State and National estimates of health insurance spending for the National Health Accounts and Gross Domestic Product. This study is being conducted by AHRQ through the Bureau of the Census, pursuant to AHRQ’s statutory authority to conduct and support research on healthcare and on systems for the delivery of such care, including activities with respect to the quality, effectiveness, efficiency, appropriateness and value of healthcare services and with respect to quality measurement and improvement. 42 U.S.C. 299a(a)(1) and (2). Method of Collection To achieve the goals of this project the following data collections for both private sector and state and local government employers will be implemented: (1) Prescreener Questionnaire—The purpose of the Prescreener Questionnaire, which is collected via telephone, varies depending on the insurance status of the establishment contacted. (Establishment is defined as a single, physical location in the private sector and a governmental unit in state and local governments.) For E:\FR\FM\28JNN1.SGM 28JNN1
