Proposed Collection; Comment Request for Form 8849, 35638-35639 [2014-14609]

Download as PDF 35638 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 120 / Monday, June 23, 2014 / Notices emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES Memorandum item 1 would continue to collect the institution’s total current credit exposure amount for all interest rate, foreign exchange rate, gold, credit, commodity, equity, and other derivative contracts covered by the revised regulatory capital rules after considering applicable legally enforceable bilateral netting agreements. Memorandum items 2 and 3, respectively, would collect, by remaining maturity and type of contract, the notional principal amounts of the institution’s over-the-counter and centrally cleared derivative contracts subject to the revised regulatory capital rules. Data on interest rate, foreign exchange rate and gold, credit (investment grade reference assets), credit (non-investment grade reference assets), equity, precious metals (except gold), and other derivative contracts would be reported separately. At present, institutions report these notional principal amounts and remaining maturities, but without distinguishing between over-the-counter and centrally cleared derivatives. In addition, foreign exchange rate contracts and gold contracts would be combined in Memorandum items 2 and 3, whereas each of these two types of contracts currently is reported separately in Memorandum item 2. III. Discussion of Proposed Changes to Call Report Schedule RC–L This section describes the proposed changes to Call Report Schedule RC–L to implement the reporting of securities lent and borrowed consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules. Effective for the March 31, 2015, report date, the existing line item for securities lent (current item 6 of Schedule RC–L) would be renumbered and the existing reporting requirements for securities borrowed (current items 9 and 9.a) would be revised as described below. Call Report filers should refer to the revised regulatory capital rules and the proposed reporting instructions for revised Schedule RC–L for further information. In current Schedule RC–L, securities lent and borrowed are reported separately, not in sequential order. Furthermore, all institutions must report securities lent, but securities borrowed are reported and disclosed only if the amount exceeds specified thresholds. Securities borrowed are included in item 9, ‘‘All other off-balance sheet liabilities,’’ if the amount of securities borrowed is more than 10 percent of Schedule RC, item 27.a, ‘‘Total bank equity capital.’’ If the amount of securities borrowed is greater than 25 percent of total bank equity capital, then VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:33 Jun 20, 2014 Jkt 232001 that amount is reported separately in item 9.a, ‘‘Securities borrowed.’’ Proposed line item 6.a would be used for reporting securities lent and item 6.b would be used for reporting securities borrowed. The total amount of securities borrowed would be reported in line item 6.b regardless of amount, not just when the amount is more than the 10 percent bank equity capital threshold, as is currently the case. IV. Scope and Frequency of Reporting The proposed regulatory reporting changes to the risk-weighted assets portion of Call Report Schedule RC–R and to the reporting of securities lent and borrowed in Schedule RC–L would apply to all Call Report filers for report dates beginning in 2015. Each reporting entity would continue to submit the applicable quarterly reports on the same due dates as are currently in effect for the reporting entity. In addition, the agencies expect all reporting entities to meet the existing reporting standards for accuracy and other requirements as currently mandated by their primary federal supervisor. See section I.B of this notice for a detailed discussion of the timing for the implementation of the proposed reporting changes. Public comment is requested on all aspects of this joint notice. In particular, do institutions expect that making any specific line items on the proposed revised risk-weighted assets portion of Call Report Schedule RC–R public would cause them competitive or other harm? If so, identify the specific line items and describe in detail the nature of the harm. Specifically, comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collections of information that are the subject of this notice are necessary for the proper performance of the agencies’ functions, including whether the information has practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the agencies’ estimates of the burden of the information collections as they are proposed to be revised, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) Ways to minimize the burden of information collections on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, Frm 00127 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Dated: June 16, 2014.
