The applicability of these exemptions would need to be determined on a case-by-case basis. Abstract: The FR Y–7Q collects consolidated regulatory capital information from all FBOs either quarterly or annually. The FR Y–7Q is filed quarterly by FBOs that have effectively elected to become financial holding companies (FHCs) and by FBOs that have total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more, regardless of FHC status. All other FBOs file the FR Y–7Q annually. Current Actions: The Federal Reserve proposes to collect one new data item to implement the enhanced prudential standards for FBOs adopted pursuant to section 165 of the Dodd-Frank Act (DFA Section 165), Enhanced Prudential Standards for Large Domestic and Foreign Banking Organizations. The new data item, Total U.S. Non-Branch Assets, would be used to determine whether an FBO meets the threshold for formation of a U.S. intermediate holding company. This item would collect the sum of the total combined assets of a top-tier FBO’s top-tier U.S. domiciled affiliates.2 In situations where a top-tier U.S. domiciled affiliate is a parent of one or more subsidiaries, the total consolidated assets of the affiliate would include the assets of the affiliate and its subsidiaries, in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), and the total consolidated assets (or total assets, as applicable) of each top-tier U.S. domiciled affiliate should be combined. In situations where a top-tier U.S. domiciled subsidiary is not consolidated with the FBO for GAAP purposes, that entity shall be accounted for under the equity method and the sum of the amount of the investments should be included in the sum of the total combined assets of top-tier U.S. domiciled affiliates. The sum of the total combined assets of top-tier U.S. domiciled affiliates reported by a toptier FBO should exclude intercompany balances and intercompany transactions between the FBO’s U.S. domiciled affiliates to the extent such items are not already eliminated in consolidation. However, the sum of the total combined assets of top-tier U.S. domiciled affiliates reported by a top-tier FBO 2 Total combined assets of the top-tier FBO’s U.S. domiciled affiliates should exclude the assets of section 2(h)(2) companies as defined in section 2(h)2 of the Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C. 1841(h)(2)) and DPC branch subsidiaries. This item excludes the assets of U.S. branches and agencies. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:35 Jun 17, 2014 Jkt 232001 should include asset exposures to U.S. branches, or agencies of the FBO and to non U.S. domiciled affiliates3. U.S. domiciled affiliate is defined as a subsidiary, an associated company, or an entity treated as an associated company (e.g., a corporate joint venture) as set forth in the instructions for the Consolidated Financial Statements for Holding Companies (FR Y–9C;OMB No. 7100–0128). The proposed revision would be effective December 31, 2014. President) 1000 Peachtree Street NE., Atlanta, Georgia 30309: 1.
