SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Resolution of Systemically
Important Financial Institutions: The
Single Point of Entry Strategy (the
‘‘SPOE Strategy’’) was published in the
Federal Register, 78 FR 76614
(December 18, 2013). The FDIC
developed the SPOE Strategy to
implement its authority under Title II of
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act. The FDIC
sought comment on all aspects of the
SPOE Strategy and requested that
commenters respond to numerous
questions. The proposed publication
stated that the public comment period
would close after 60 days, on February
18, 2014.
The FDIC has received requests from
the public for an extension of the
comment period. The FDIC believes that
the additional time will facilitate public
comment on the SPOE Strategy and the
questions posed by the FDIC. Therefore,
the FDIC is extending the comment
period to March 20, 2014.

Final approval under OMB delegated
authority of the extension for three
years, with revision, of the following
reports:
1. Report title: Financial Statements of
U.S. Nonbank Subsidiaries of U.S.
Holding Companies and the
Abbreviated Financial Statements of
U.S. Nonbank Subsidiaries of U.S.

Number of respondents: FR Y–11
(quarterly): 409; FR Y–11 (annually):
203; FR Y–11S: 255.
General description of report: This
information collection is mandatory (12
U.S.C. 1844(c)). Overall, the Federal
Reserve does not consider these data to
be confidential. However, a respondent
may request confidential treatment
pursuant to sections (b)(4), (b)(6), and
(b)(8) of the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4), (b)(6), (b)(8)). The
applicability of these exemptions would
need to be determined on a case-by-case
basis.
Abstract: The FR Y–11 reporting
forms collect financial information for
individual non-functionally regulated
U.S. nonbank subsidiaries of domestic
holding companies (i.e., bank holding
companies, savings and loan holding
companies, and securities holding
companies). Holding companies file the
FR Y–11 on a quarterly or annual basis
or the FR Y–11S annually
predominantly based on asset size
thresholds, and for the FR Y–11S, based
on an additional threshold related to the
percentage of consolidated assets of the
top-tier organization. The FR Y–11 data
are used with other holding company
data to assess the condition of holding
companies that are heavily engaged in
nonbanking activities and to monitor
the volume, nature, and condition of
their nonbanking operations.
Current actions: On December 11,
2013, the Federal Reserve published a
notice in the Federal Register (78 FR
75346) requesting public comment for
60 days on the proposal to renew, with
revision, the FR Y–11 and FR Y–11S.
The comment period for this notice
expired on February 10, 2014. The
Federal Reserve received one comment
letter of support from a banking
organization. The revisions will be
implemented as proposed.
In addition, the Federal Reserve
initially proposed clarifying the FR Y–
11 and FR Y–11S instructions as to
when these reports must be filed if a
subsidiary is divested or liquidated.
However, after further consideration,
the Federal Reserve will not include this
clarification due to potential data gaps
that may affect the Federal Reserve’s
ability to carry out supervisory,
regulatory, and other public policy
responsibilities.

treatment pursuant to sections (b)(4),
(b)(6), and (b)(8) of the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4),
(b)(6), (b)(8)). The applicability of these
exemptions would need to be
determined on a case-by-case basis.
Abstract: The FR 2314 reporting forms
collect financial information for nonfunctionally regulated direct or indirect
foreign subsidiaries of U.S. state
member banks (SMBs), Edge and
agreement corporations, and holding
companies (i.e., bank holding
companies, savings and loan holding
companies, and securities holding
companies). Parent organizations
(SMBs, Edge and agreement
corporations, or holding companies) file
the FR 2314 on a quarterly or annual
basis or the FR 2314S annually based
predominantly on asset size thresholds,
and for the FR 2314S, based on an
additional threshold related to the

top-tier organization. The FR 2314 data
are used to identify current and
potential problems at the foreign
subsidiaries of U.S. parent companies,
to monitor the activities of U.S. banking
organizations in specific countries, and
to develop a better understanding of
activities within the industry, in
general, and of individual institutions,
in particular.
Current actions: On December 11,
2013, the Federal Reserve published a
notice in the Federal Register (78 FR

However, individual respondents may
request confidential treatment for any of
these reports pursuant to sections (b)(4)
and (b)(6) of the Freedom of Information
Act (5 U.S.C. 522(b)(4) and (b)(6)). The
applicability of these exemptions would
need to be determined on a case-by-case
basis.
Abstract: The FR Y–7N and FR Y–
7NS collect financial information for
non-functionally regulated U.S.
nonbank subsidiaries held by FBOs
other than through a U.S. bank holding
company (BHC), U.S. financial holding
company (FHC), or U.S. bank. FBOs file
the FR Y–7N quarterly or annually or
the FR Y–7NS annually predominantly

consolidated regulatory capital
information from all FBOs either
quarterly or annually. FBOs that have
effectively elected to become FHCs file
the FR Y–7Q quarterly, and effective

the contact information collected in the
Patriot Act Contact Information section,
the Board’s regulation’s (12 CFR Part
211.5(m)) instruct Edge and agreement
corporations to comply with the
information sharing regulations that the
Department of the Treasury issued
pursuant to Section 314(a) of the USA
Patriot Act of 2001, Pub L 107–56, 115
Stat. 307 (31 U.S.C. 5318(h)); and
implemented at 31 CFR Part
1010.520(b).
For Edge corporations engaged in
banking, current Schedules RC–M (with
the exception of item 3) and RC–V are
held confidential pursuant to Section
(b)(4) of the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)). For investment
Edge corporations, only information
collected on Schedule RC–M (with the
exception of item 3) are given
confidential treatment pursuant to
Section (b)(4) of the FOIA (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4)).
In addition, the information provided
in the Patriot Act Contact Information
section may be withheld as confidential
under FOIA to prevent unauthorized
individuals from falsely posing as an
institution’s point-of-contact in order to
gain access to the highly sensitive and
confidential communications sent by
email between the Financial Crimes
Enforcement Network or federal law
enforcement officials and the Patriot Act
point-of-contact. The identity and
contact information of private
individuals, which is collected and
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001
maintained for law enforcement
purposes under the Patriot Act, may be
exempt from disclosure pursuant to
exemption 7(C) of FOIA (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(7)(C)). Lastly, the language
indicating that the Emergency Contact
information will not be released to the
public will be removed.
Abstract: The FR 2886b comprises a
balance sheet, income statement, two
schedules reconciling changes in capital
and reserve accounts, and 11 supporting
schedules. The reporting form parallels
the Consolidated Reports of Condition
and Income (Call Report) (FFIEC 031
and FFIEC 041; OMB No. 7100–0036)
that commercial banks file and the
Consolidated Financial Statements for
Holding Companies (FR Y–9C; OMB No.
7100–0128) filed by large holding
companies. Except for examination
reports, it provides the only financial
data available for these corporations.
The Federal Reserve is solely
responsible for authorizing, supervising,
and assigning ratings to Edge and
agreement corporations. The Federal
Reserve uses the data collected on the
FR 2886b to identify present and
potential problems and monitor and
develop a better understanding of
activities within the industry. Most
Edge corporations are wholly owned by
U.S. banks or holding companies and
are consolidated into the financial
statements of their parent organizations.
However, eight banking Edge
corporations are owned by foreign banks
or nonbanking organizations.
Current actions: On December 11,
2013, the Federal Reserve published a
notice in the Federal Register (78 FR

60 days on the proposal to renew,

In addition, the Federal Reserve initially proposed clarifying the
FR Y-11 and FR Y-11S instructions as to when these reports must be
filed if a subsidiary is divested or liquidated. However, after further
consideration, the Federal Reserve will not include this clarification
due to potential data gaps that may affect the Federal Reserve's
ability to carry out supervisory, regulatory, and other public policy
responsibilities.
2. Report title: Financial Statements of Foreign Subsidiaries of
U.S. Banking Organizations and the Abbreviated Financial Statements of
Foreign Subsidiaries of U.S. Banking Organizations.
[[Page 9901]]
Agency form number: FR 2314 and FR 2314S.
OMB control number: 7100-0073.
Frequency: Quarterly and annually.
Reporters: U.S. state member banks, holding companies, and Edge or
agreement corporations.
Estimated annual reporting hours: FR 2314 (quarterly): 14,546; FR
2314 (annually): 1,452; FR 2314S: 308.
Estimated average hours per response: FR 2314 (quarterly): 6.6; FR
2314 (annually): 6.6; FR 2314S: 1.
Number of respondents: FR 2314 (quarterly): 551; FR 2314
(annually): 220; FR 2314S: 308.
General description of report: This information collection is
mandatory (12 U.S.C. 324, 602, 625, 1844(c)). Overall, the Federal
Reserve does not consider these data to be confidential. However, a
respondent may request confidential treatment pursuant to sections
(b)(4), (b)(6), and (b)(8) of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4), (b)(6), (b)(8)). The applicability of these exemptions would
need to be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Abstract: The FR 2314 reporting forms collect financial information
for non-functionally regulated direct or indirect foreign subsidiaries
of U.S. state member banks (SMBs), Edge and agreement corporations, and
holding companies (i.e., bank holding companies, savings and loan
holding companies, and securities holding companies). Parent
organizations (SMBs, Edge and agreement corporations, or holding
companies) file the FR 2314 on a quarterly or annual basis or the FR
2314S annually based predominantly on asset size thresholds, and for
the FR 2314S, based on an additional threshold related to the
percentage of consolidated assets of the top-tier organization. The FR
2314 data are used to identify current and potential problems at the
foreign subsidiaries of U.S. parent companies, to monitor the
activities of U.S. banking organizations in specific countries, and to
develop a better understanding of activities within the industry, in
general, and of individual institutions, in particular.
Current actions: On December 11, 2013, the Federal Reserve
published a notice in the Federal Register (78 FR 75346) requesting
public comment for 60 days on the proposal to renew, with revision, the
FR 2314 and FR 2314S. The comment period for this notice expired on
February 10, 2014. The Federal Reserve received one comment letter of
support from a banking organization. The revisions will be implemented
as proposed.
In addition, the Federal Reserve initially proposed clarifying the
FR 2314 and FR 2314S instructions as to when these reports must be
filed if a subsidiary is divested or liquidated. However, after further
consideration, the Federal Reserve will not include this clarification
due to potential data gaps that may affect the Federal Reserve's
ability to carry out supervisory, regulatory, and other public policy
responsibilities.

these reports pursuant to sections (b)(4) and (b)(6) of the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 522(b)(4) and (b)(6)). The applicability of
these exemptions would need to be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Abstract: The FR Y-7N and FR Y-7NS collect financial information
for non-functionally regulated U.S. nonbank subsidiaries held by FBOs
other than through a U.S. bank holding company (BHC), U.S. financial
holding company (FHC), or U.S. bank. FBOs file the FR Y-7N quarterly or
annually or the FR Y-7NS annually predominantly based on asset size
thresholds.
Current actions: On December 11, 2013, the Federal Reserve
published a notice in the Federal Register (78 FR 75346) requesting
public comment for 60 days on the proposal to renew, with revision, the
FR Y-7N and FR Y-7NS. The comment period for this notice expired on

consideration, the Federal Reserve will not include this clarification
due to potential data gaps that may affect the Federal Reserve's
ability to carry out supervisory, regulatory, and other public policy
responsibilities.

General description of report: This information is mandatory (12
U.S.C. 602, 625). In addition, with respect to the contact information
collected in the Patriot Act Contact Information section, the Board's
regulation's (12 CFR Part 211.5(m)) instruct Edge and agreement
corporations to comply with the information sharing regulations that
the Department of the Treasury issued pursuant to Section 314(a) of the
USA Patriot Act of 2001, Pub L 107-56, 115 Stat. 307 (31 U.S.C.
5318(h)); and implemented at 31 CFR Part 1010.520(b).
For Edge corporations engaged in banking, current Schedules RC-M
(with the exception of item 3) and RC-V are held confidential pursuant
to Section (b)(4) of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4)). For investment Edge corporations, only information
collected on Schedule RC-M (with the exception of item 3) are given
confidential treatment pursuant to Section (b)(4) of the FOIA (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4)).
In addition, the information provided in the Patriot Act Contact
Information section may be withheld as confidential under FOIA to
prevent unauthorized individuals from falsely posing as an
institution's point-of-contact in order to gain access to the highly
sensitive and confidential communications sent by email between the
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network or federal law enforcement
officials and the Patriot Act point-of-contact. The identity and
contact information of private individuals, which is collected and
maintained for law enforcement purposes under the Patriot Act, may be
exempt from disclosure pursuant to exemption 7(C) of FOIA (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(7)(C)). Lastly, the language indicating that the Emergency
Contact information will not be released to the public will be removed.
Abstract: The FR 2886b comprises a balance sheet, income statement,
two schedules reconciling changes in capital and reserve accounts, and
11 supporting schedules. The reporting form parallels the Consolidated
Reports of Condition and Income (Call Report) (FFIEC 031 and FFIEC 041;
OMB No. 7100-0036) that commercial banks file and the Consolidated
Financial Statements for Holding Companies (FR Y-9C; OMB No. 7100-0128)
filed by large holding companies. Except for examination reports, it
provides the only financial data available for these corporations.
The Federal Reserve is solely responsible for authorizing,
supervising, and assigning ratings to Edge and agreement corporations.
The Federal Reserve uses the data collected on the FR 2886b to identify
present and potential problems and monitor and develop a better
understanding of activities within the industry. Most Edge corporations
are wholly owned by U.S. banks or holding companies and are
consolidated into the financial statements of their parent
organizations. However, eight banking Edge corporations are owned by
foreign banks or nonbanking organizations.
Current actions: On December 11, 2013, the Federal Reserve
published a notice in the Federal Register (78 FR 75346) requesting
public comment for 60 days on the proposal to renew, without revision,
the FR 2886b. The comment period for this notice expired on February
10, 2014. The Federal Reserve did not receive any comments.
