General description of report: This
information collection is required
pursuant to section 18(c) of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C.
1828(c)) and is not given confidential
treatment. However, applicants may
request that parts of a submitted
application be kept confidential. In such
cases, the burden is on the applicant to
justify the exemption by demonstrating
that disclosure would cause substantial
competitive harm or result in an
unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy or would otherwise qualify for
an exemption under the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). The
confidentiality status of the information
submitted will be judged on a case-bycase basis.
Abstract: The Federal Reserve, the
Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency, and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (the agencies)
each use this application form to collect
information for bank merger proposals
that require prior approval under the
Bank Merger Act. Prior approval is
required for every merger transaction
involving affiliated or nonaffiliated
institutions and must be sought from the
regulatory agency of the depository
institution that would survive the
proposed transaction. A merger
transaction may include a merger,
consolidation, assumption of deposit
liabilities, or certain asset-transfers
between or among two or more
institutions. The Federal Reserve
collects this information so that it may
meet its statutory obligation of
evaluating (with respect to every state
member bank merger proposal) the
competitive effects, the adequacy of the
financial and managerial resources of
the institutions involved, and the effect
on the convenience and needs of the
affected communities.

General description of report: The FR
2081a and FR 2081c are mandatory
pursuant to section 7(j) of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C.
1817(j)). The FR 2081b and FR 2081c are
mandatory pursuant to section 914 of
the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act (12
U.S.C. 1831(i)). This information
collection is not given confidential
treatment. The organizations and
individuals that use the forms may
request that all or a portion of the
submitted information be kept
confidential. In such cases, the burden
is on the filer to justify the exemption
by demonstrating that disclosure would
cause substantial competitive harm or
result in an unwarranted invasion of
personal privacy or would otherwise
qualify for an exemption under the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552). The confidentiality status of the
information submitted will be
determined on a case-by-case basis.
Abstract: The information collected
assists the Federal Reserve, the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency, and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(the agencies) in fulfilling their statutory
responsibilities as supervisors. Each of
these forms is used to collect
information in connection with
applications and notices filed prior to
proposed changes in the ownership or
management of banking organizations.
The agencies use the information to
evaluate the controlling owners, senior
officers, and directors of the insured
depository institutions subject to their
oversight. The information collected in
an Interagency Notice of Change in Bank
Control (FR 2081a) submitted to the
Federal Reserve is provided by persons
proposing to make significant
investments in a BHC or SMB. The
information collected in the Interagency
Notice of Change in Director or Senior
Executive Officer (FR 2081b) is required
under Section 914 of the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) and
is submitted to the Federal Reserve
(under certain circumstances) by a BHC
or SMB making changes in its board of
directors or senior executive officers.
The Interagency Biographical and
Financial Report (FR 2081c) is not a
stand-alone reporting form; it is a
companion reporting form to the FR
2081a and the FR 2018b (and to other
Federal Reserve information collections)
that is used to gather required
information about the individuals

General description of report: These
reports are authorized pursuant to
section 5 of the Bank Holding Company
Act (12 U.S.C. 1844), section 8 of the
International Banking Act (12 U.S.C.
3106) and section 165 of the Dodd Frank
Act (12 U.S.C. 5365) and are mandatory.
Section 5(c) of the Bank Holding
Company Act authorizes the Board to
require BHCs to submit reports to the
Board regarding their financial
condition. Section 8(a) of the
International Banking Act subjects FBOs
to the provisions of the Bank Holding
Company Act. Section 165 of the DoddFrank Act requires the Board to
establish prudential standards for
certain BHCs and FBOs; these standards
include liquidity requirements. The
individual financial institution
information provided by each
respondent would be accorded
confidential treatment under exemption
8 of the Freedom of Information Act (5
U.S.C. 552(b)(8)). In addition, the
institution information provided by
each respondent would not be otherwise
available to the public and is entitled to
confidential treatment under the
authority of exemption 4 of the Freedom
of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)),
which protects from disclosure trade
secrets and commercial or financial
information.
Abstract: The FR 2052 reports are
used to monitor the overall liquidity
profile of institutions supervised by the
Federal Reserve. These data provide
detailed information on the liquidity
risks within different business lines
1 With the proposed revisions, the paperwork
burden for 2015 is estimated to initially decrease to
407,400 hours, with incremental increases for 2016
and 2017, for an annual net increase of 938,240
hours. Please see the OMB supporting statement for
additional detail.

(e.g., financing of securities positions,
prime brokerage activities). In
particular, these data serve as part of the
Federal Reserve’s supervisory
surveillance program in its liquidity risk
management area and provide timely
information on firm-specific liquidity
risks during periods of stress. Analysis
of systemic and idiosyncratic liquidity
risk issues are then used to inform the
Federal Reserve’s supervisory processes,
including the preparation of analytical
reports that detail funding
vulnerabilities.
Current actions: The Federal Reserve
proposes to extend for three years, with
revision, the Complex Institution
Liquidity Monitoring Report (FR 2052a)
and the Liquidity Monitoring Report (FR
2052b) (OMB No. 7100–0361) effective
beginning March 31, 2015. The Federal
Reserve proposes to revise the FR 2052a
report by modifying the: (1) Respondent
panel and threshold, (2) frequency of
reporting, (3) reporting platform
structure, and (4) data item granularity.
The Federal Reserve proposes to revise
the FR 2052b report by modifying the
respondent panel threshold and
frequency. The proposed revisions are
described in detail below.
The Federal Reserve proposes to
revise the FR 2052a report to improve
the effectiveness of its supervisory
surveillance program. In general, the
revisions would provide additional
detail to facilitate a more sophisticated
approach to monitoring liquidity risk.
The proposed data elements are more
detailed and would align with the
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR).2 For the
most internationally active firms,
liquidity profiles would be reported by
currency for each material entity of the
reporting institutions, which for BHCs
may include sub-divisions of the global
banking entity by geographical region,
and for FBOs would include material
entities outside the U.S. that are
managed from the U.S. These
dimensions are important because
dislocations in foreign exchange
markets and restrictions limiting fund
transfers can inhibit the ability of a
global financial institution to convert its
available sources of liquidity to meet its
specific needs. The proposed data
collection would collect more details
regarding securities financing
transactions, wholesale unsecured
funding, deposits, loans, unfunded
commitments, collateral, derivatives,
and foreign exchange transactions. The
greater level of detail surrounding these
activities is necessary to ensure that

supervised firms are adequately
reserving for the risks based on current
supervisory expectations and the DoddFrank Act’s Enhanced Prudential
Standards. Furthermore, the Federal
Reserve proposes to change the
structure of the collection to an XML
format from a spreadsheet format. This
new structure is necessary to
accommodate the additional granularity
and implement the collection with
leading data industry practices.
The revisions to FR 2052a include a
new hierarchy that subdivides the three
general categories of inflows, outflows
and supplemental items into 10 distinct
data tables. These tables are designed to
stratify the assets, liabilities and
supplemental components of a firm’s
liquidity risk profile based on products
that can be described with common data
structures, while still maintaining a
coherent framework for liquidity risk
reporting.
The internationally active reporting
entities would report by major currency
all data elements denominated in major
currencies, while other data elements
denominated in non-major currencies
would be converted into United States
Dollars (USDs) and flagged as converted.
Reporting entities that are not
internationally active would be able to
report exclusively in USD by flagging
data as converted. Reporting by major
currency or flagging a conversion
should help supervisors to identify
potential currency mismatches.
Additionally, data elements would be
reported for each material legal entity,
which are identified by the Federal
Reserve for a given reporting entity. All
entities that are required to comply with
the LCR are considered material legal
entities. This granularity in currency
and material legal entity reporting
would enhance monitoring of a firm’s
liquidity resources to ensure they are
distributed according to specific needs,
considering existing or potential
regulatory or other limitations on intercompany liquidity transfers.
The granularity of the data increased
along numerous items of FR 2052a.
Maturity buckets increased to daily for
the first 60 days to eliminate potential
contractual maturity mismatches in the
near term. There are now more
categories of assets, largely delineated
by the type of security or loan, the
structuring of cash flows, and risk-based
capital weightings. The list of
counterparty types increased, along
with the number of products requiring
the counterparty to be reported,
including loan cash flows, deposits,
committed facilities, and certain
unsecured borrowings.
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
The proposed revisions would also
draw more distinction between types of
securities financing transactions such as
collateral swaps, to-be-announced
contracts, and the various methods of
covering firm or customer short sales.
Fields would be added for the amount
of re-hypothecation, collateralization,
encumbrance, and methods of
settlement. The report would provide
information on the stock and flow of
collateral received and posted for
derivative transactions, as well as values
of prime brokerage client assets and
associated wire transfers. Together,
these revisions to secured financing
transactions would provide a more
complete view of the firm’s activities,
especially brokerage activities, and
certain liquidity risk characteristics, all
of which were implicated during the
recent financial crisis.
Several new types of deposit accounts
would also be added, such as escrow
accounts and various categories of
brokered deposits and sweeps. Balances
that are ‘‘fully insured’’ would be
identified, as well as balances that are
subject to withdrawal in the event of a
specific change or trigger.
Certain elements would be added to
capture risk associated with collateral.
The potential requirements to post
collateral in the event of an adverse
move in the mark-to-market value of a
firm’s derivative portfolio or a change in
a firm’s financial condition is reported.
Additionally, firms would report
collateral balances that are contractually
owed to a counterparty, but not yet
called.
Fields would be added to capture the
settlement date cash flows in forward
starting transactions. This revision
would accommodate ‘‘trade date’’
reporting, which would allow for a more
accurate representation of forward
looking cash flows.
The instructions for reporting the
maturity date of a transaction would
also be modified for short term (less
than one year) liabilities with call
options, as well as certain transactions
reported in the Secured Inflows table
where the collateral received was
rehypothecated.
Reporting of foreign exchange
transactions, such as foreign exchange
spot, forwards and futures, and swap
transactions, would be required in order
to complement the currency level
reporting of cash flows.
The proposed revisions to the FR
2052a report includes sections covering
broad funding classifications by
product, outstanding balance and
purpose, segmented by maturity date.
Generally, each section can be classified
into one of the following categories:

appropriate or would another time
period be more appropriate, such as
three months or one year?
• Is the proposed maturity schedule
provided in Appendix IV to the
instructions appropriate for all
respondents, such as those firms that are
only subject to the Liquidity Coverage
Ratio for Certain Bank Holding
Companies? 3 If not appropriate, what
maturity schedule should apply to those
respondents? Additionally, is the
proposed maturity schedule provided in
Appendix IV to the instructions
appropriate for all listed products? If
not, what maturity schedule should
apply to those products?
• Should a description of how the FR
2052a data will be used to monitor LCR
compliance be published?
Proposed FR 2052b Revisions
The Federal Reserve proposes to
revise the FR 2052b reporting panel by
eliminating the monthly reporting
frequency. The U.S. BHCs (excluding G–
SIBs) with total consolidated assets of
$50 billion or more (including FBO
subsidiaries) that currently file the
monthly FR 2052b report would move
to the proposed FR 2052a monthly and

8 The frequency of the FR 2052a monthly report
may be temporarily adjusted to daily on a case-bycase basis as market conditions and supervisory
needs change to carry out effective continuous

anticipates frequency adjustments to be a rare
occurrence.
9 These FBOs would be required to have the
ability to report on each business day. If the FBO
consolidates a U.S. chartered firm that would
independently have to report daily, then the FBO
must report daily. The Federal Reserve would test
these FBOs for their ability to report daily.

section 8 of the International Banking Act (12 U.S.C. 3106) and section
165 of the Dodd Frank Act (12 U.S.C. 5365) and are mandatory. Section
5(c) of the Bank Holding Company Act authorizes the Board to require
BHCs to submit reports to the Board regarding their financial
condition. Section 8(a) of the International Banking Act subjects FBOs
to the provisions of the Bank Holding Company Act. Section 165 of the
Dodd-Frank Act requires the Board to establish prudential standards for
certain BHCs and FBOs; these standards include liquidity requirements.
The individual financial institution information provided by each
respondent would be accorded confidential treatment under exemption 8
of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(8)). In addition,
the institution information provided by each respondent would not be
otherwise available to the public and is entitled to confidential
treatment under the authority of exemption 4 of the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)), which protects from disclosure
trade secrets and commercial or financial information.
Abstract: The FR 2052 reports are used to monitor the overall
liquidity profile of institutions supervised by the Federal Reserve.
These data provide detailed information on the liquidity risks within
different business lines
[[Page 71418]]
(e.g., financing of securities positions, prime brokerage activities).
In particular, these data serve as part of the Federal Reserve's
supervisory surveillance program in its liquidity risk management area
and provide timely information on firm-specific liquidity risks during
periods of stress. Analysis of systemic and idiosyncratic liquidity
risk issues are then used to inform the Federal Reserve's supervisory
processes, including the preparation of analytical reports that detail
funding vulnerabilities.
Current actions: The Federal Reserve proposes to extend for three
years, with revision, the Complex Institution Liquidity Monitoring
Report (FR 2052a) and the Liquidity Monitoring Report (FR 2052b) (OMB
No. 7100-0361) effective beginning March 31, 2015. The Federal Reserve
proposes to revise the FR 2052a report by modifying the: (1) Respondent
panel and threshold, (2) frequency of reporting, (3) reporting platform
structure, and (4) data item granularity. The Federal Reserve proposes
to revise the FR 2052b report by modifying the respondent panel
threshold and frequency. The proposed revisions are described in detail
below.
The Federal Reserve proposes to revise the FR 2052a report to
improve the effectiveness of its supervisory surveillance program. In
general, the revisions would provide additional detail to facilitate a
more sophisticated approach to monitoring liquidity risk. The proposed
data elements are more detailed and would align with the Liquidity
Coverage Ratio (LCR).\2\ For the most internationally active firms,
liquidity profiles would be reported by currency for each material
entity of the reporting institutions, which for BHCs may include sub-
divisions of the global banking entity by geographical region, and for
FBOs would include material entities outside the U.S. that are managed
from the U.S. These dimensions are important because dislocations in
foreign exchange markets and restrictions limiting fund transfers can
inhibit the ability of a global financial institution to convert its
available sources of liquidity to meet its specific needs. The proposed
data collection would collect more details regarding securities
financing transactions, wholesale unsecured funding, deposits, loans,
unfunded commitments, collateral, derivatives, and foreign exchange
transactions. The greater level of detail surrounding these activities
is necessary to ensure that supervised firms are adequately reserving
for the risks based on current supervisory expectations and the Dodd-
Frank Act's Enhanced Prudential Standards. Furthermore, the Federal
Reserve proposes to change the structure of the collection to an XML
format from a spreadsheet format. This new structure is necessary to
accommodate the additional granularity and implement the collection
with leading data industry practices.

\2\ 79 FR 61440 (October 10, 2014). Press Release is available
at https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/press/bcreg/20140903a.htm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The revisions to FR 2052a include a new hierarchy that subdivides
the three general categories of inflows, outflows and supplemental
items into 10 distinct data tables. These tables are designed to
stratify the assets, liabilities and supplemental components of a
firm's liquidity risk profile based on products that can be described
with common data structures, while still maintaining a coherent
framework for liquidity risk reporting.
The internationally active reporting entities would report by major
currency all data elements denominated in major currencies, while other
data elements denominated in non-major currencies would be converted
into United States Dollars (USDs) and flagged as converted. Reporting
entities that are not internationally active would be able to report
exclusively in USD by flagging data as converted. Reporting by major
currency or flagging a conversion should help supervisors to identify
potential currency mismatches. Additionally, data elements would be
reported for each material legal entity, which are identified by the
Federal Reserve for a given reporting entity. All entities that are
required to comply with the LCR are considered material legal entities.
This granularity in currency and material legal entity reporting would
enhance monitoring of a firm's liquidity resources to ensure they are
distributed according to specific needs, considering existing or
potential regulatory or other limitations on inter-company liquidity
transfers.
The granularity of the data increased along numerous items of FR
2052a. Maturity buckets increased to daily for the first 60 days to
eliminate potential contractual maturity mismatches in the near term.
There are now more categories of assets, largely delineated by the type
of security or loan, the structuring of cash flows, and risk-based
capital weightings. The list of counterparty types increased, along
with the number of products requiring the counterparty to be reported,
including loan cash flows, deposits, committed facilities, and certain
unsecured borrowings.
The proposed revisions would also draw more distinction between
types of securities financing transactions such as collateral swaps,
to-be-announced contracts, and the various methods of covering firm or
customer short sales. Fields would be added for the amount of re-
hypothecation, collateralization, encumbrance, and methods of
settlement. The report would provide information on the stock and flow
of collateral received and posted for derivative transactions, as well
as values of prime brokerage client assets and associated wire
transfers. Together, these revisions to secured financing transactions
would provide a more complete view of the firm's activities, especially
brokerage activities, and certain liquidity risk characteristics, all
of which were implicated during the recent financial crisis.
Several new types of deposit accounts would also be added, such as
escrow accounts and various categories of brokered deposits and sweeps.
Balances that are ``fully insured'' would be identified, as well as
balances that are subject to withdrawal in the event of a specific
change or trigger.
Certain elements would be added to capture risk associated with
collateral. The potential requirements to post collateral in the event
of an adverse move in the mark-to-market value of a firm's derivative
portfolio or a change in a firm's financial condition is reported.
Additionally, firms would report collateral balances that are
contractually owed to a counterparty, but not yet called.
Fields would be added to capture the settlement date cash flows in
forward starting transactions. This revision would accommodate ``trade
date'' reporting, which would allow for a more accurate representation
of forward looking cash flows.
The instructions for reporting the maturity date of a transaction
would also be modified for short term (less than one year) liabilities
with call options, as well as certain transactions reported in the
Secured Inflows table where the collateral received was rehypothecated.
Reporting of foreign exchange transactions, such as foreign
exchange spot, forwards and futures, and swap transactions, would be
required in order to complement the currency level reporting of cash
flows.
The proposed revisions to the FR 2052a report includes sections
covering broad funding classifications by product, outstanding balance
and purpose, segmented by maturity date. Generally, each section can be
classified into one of the following categories:
[[Page 71419]]
Section 1: Inflows-Assets: Institutions would report
assets such as unencumbered assets, borrowing capacity from central
banks or FHLBs, unrestricted reserve balances at central banks,
restricted reserve balances at central banks, unsettled asset
purchases, and forward asset purchases.
Section 2: Inflows-Unsecured: Institutions would report
unsecured inflow transactions such as onshore placement, offshore
placements, required nostro balances, excess nostro balances,
outstanding draws on revolving facilities, and other unsecured loans.
Section 3: Inflows-Secured: Institutions would report
secured inflow transactions such as reverse repurchase agreements,
securities borrowing transactions, dollar rolls, collateral swaps,
margin loans, other secured loans where the collateral is
rehypothecatable, and other secured loans where the collateral is not
rehypothecatable.
Section 4: Inflows-Other: Institutions would report other
inflow transactions such as derivatives receivables, collateral called
for receipt, sales in the to-be-announced market, undrawn committed
facilities purchased, lock-up balances, interest and dividends
receivables, a net 30-day derivatives receivables measure, principal
payments receivable on unencumbered investment securities, and other
inflow transactions.
Section 5: Outflows-Wholesale: Institutions would report
wholesale outflow transactions such as asset-backed commercial paper
single-seller outflows, asset-back commercial paper multi-seller
outflows, collateralized commercial paper, asset-backed securities,
covered bonds, tender option bonds, other asset-backed financing,
commercial paper, onshore borrowing, offshore borrowing, unstructured
long-term debt, structured long-term debt, government supported debt,
unsecured notes, structured notes, wholesale certificates of deposit,
draws on committed facilities, free credits, and other unsecured
wholesale outflow transactions.
Section 6: Outflows-Secured: Institutions would report
secured outflow transactions such as repurchase agreements, securities
lending transactions, dollar rolls, collateral swaps, FHLB Advances,
outstanding secured funding from facilities at central banks, customer
short transactions, firm short transactions, and other secured outflow
transactions.
Section 7: Outflows-Deposits: Institutions would report
deposit outflow transactions such as transactional accounts, non-
transactional relationship accounts, non-transactional non-relationship
accounts, operational accounts, non-operational accounts, operational
escrow accounts, non-reciprocal brokered accounts, affiliated sweep
accounts, non-affiliated sweeps accounts, other product sweep accounts,
reciprocal accounts, other third-party deposits, and other deposit
accounts.
Section 8: Outflows-Other: Institutions would report other
outflow transactions such as derivatives payables, collateral called
for delivery, purchases in the to-be-announced market, credit
facilities, liquidity facilities, retail mortgage commitments, trade
finance instruments, potential derivative valuation changes, loss of
rehypothecation rights and collateral required due to changes in
financial condition, excess customer margin, commitments to lend on
margin to customers, interest and dividends payables, a net 30-day
derivatives payables measure, other outflows related to structured
transactions, and other cash outflow transactions.
Section 9: Supplemental-Informational: Institutions would
report supplemental information such as initial margin posted and
received, variation margin posted and received, collateral dispute
receivables and deliverables, collateral that may need to be delivered,
collateral that the institution could request to be received,
collateral that could be substituted by the institution or a
counterparty, long and short market value of client assets, gross
client wires received and paid, subsidiary liquidity that cannot be
transferred, 23A capacity, outflows or inflows from closing out hedges
early, and potential outflows from non-structured or structured debt
maturing beyond 30 days where the institution is the primary market
maker in that debt.
Section 10: Supplemental-Foreign Exchange: Institutions
would report foreign exchange information such as foreign exchange
spot, forwards and futures, and swap transactions.
The Federal Reserve requests specific comment on the following:
The proposal would require data retention of six months.
Is six months appropriate or would another time period be more
appropriate, such as three months or one year?
Is the proposed maturity schedule provided in Appendix IV
to the instructions appropriate for all respondents, such as those
firms that are only subject to the Liquidity Coverage Ratio for Certain
Bank Holding Companies? \3\ If not appropriate, what maturity schedule
should apply to those respondents? Additionally, is the proposed
maturity schedule provided in Appendix IV to the instructions
appropriate for all listed products? If not, what maturity schedule
should apply to those products?

Proposed FR 2052b Revisions
The Federal Reserve proposes to revise the FR 2052b reporting panel
by eliminating the monthly reporting frequency. The U.S. BHCs
(excluding G-SIBs) with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or
more (including FBO subsidiaries) that currently file the monthly FR
2052b report would move to the proposed FR 2052a monthly and daily
reporting panel.

\5\ For U.S. bank holidays and weekends, no positions should be
reported. For data reported by entities in international locations,
if there is a local bank holiday, submit data for those entities
using the data from the previous business day.
\6\ These firms must comply with the transitions set forth in
the LCR, which requires an LCR calculation monthly starting in
January 2015. However, these firms do not need to report on 2052a
until this reporting as-of date.
\7\ These firms must comply with the transitions set forth in
the LCR, which requires an LCR calculation monthly starting in
January 2015. However, these firms do not need to report on 2052a
until this reporting as-of date.
\8\ The frequency of the FR 2052a monthly report may be
temporarily adjusted to daily on a case-by-case basis as market
conditions and supervisory needs change to carry out effective
continuous liquidity monitoring. The Federal Reserve anticipates
frequency adjustments to be a rare occurrence.
\9\ These FBOs would be required to have the ability to report
on each business day. If the FBO consolidates a U.S. chartered firm
that would independently have to report daily, then the FBO must
report daily. The Federal Reserve would test these FBOs for their
ability to report daily.
\10\ FR 2052b will not change for U.S. BHCs (not controlled by
FBOs) with total consolidated assets of between $10 billion and $50
billion, so the frequency and as-of date will be the same as it is
currently.

The parent company for those firms with less than $250 billion in
total consolidated assets and with less than $10 billion of on-balance
sheet foreign exposure would submit data for the following entities:
The global consolidated entity and the parent only (ignoring
consolidated subsidiaries). Respondents should consult their
supervisory teams to determine if the parent company should also
separately report any consolidated banks or non-banks that are material
contributors to the firm's funding and liquidity operations.
The parent company for those firms with $250 billion or more in
total consolidated assets or $10 billion or more of on-balance sheet
foreign exposure would submit data for the following entities: The
global consolidated entity, the parent only (ignoring consolidated
subsidiaries), and, separately, each consolidated bank and non-bank
entity that is a material contributor to the firm's funding and
liquidity operations. For these firms, all bank entities with total
consolidated assets of $10 billion or more would be considered material
legal entities. Respondents should consult their supervisory teams to
determine other material legal entities that should also be reported.
FBOs with U.S. assets of $50 billion or more would report for their
consolidated U.S. assets, as well as for all material entities managed
within the U.S. For FBOs that own U.S. entities subject to the LCR,
material entities include at least those entities subject to the LCR.
Respondents should consult their supervisory teams to determine other
material entities that should also be reported.
Some firms that are currently filing on FR 2052b would be required
to file on the updated 2052a, pursuant to the proposed schedule set
forth in the transition table. The firms currently filing on FR 2052b
would cease filing the 2052b once they begin filing the updated 2052a.
Firms currently filing the FR 2052a would be required to file the
updated 2052a, pursuant to the proposed schedule set forth in the
transition table. The firms currently filing on FR 2052a would cease
filing on the current 2052a once they are filing daily on the updated
2052a.
Additionally, there are some firms that are not currently filing
either the 2052a or 2052b, but would be required to file the updated
2052a, pursuant to the proposed schedule set forth in the transition
table. Among these companies are SLHCs that are subject to the LCR and
nonbank financial companies that the Financial Stability Oversight
Council has determined under section 113 of the Dodd-Frank Act (12
U.S.C. 5323) shall be supervised by the Board and for which such
determination is still in effect, where the Board has applied the
requirements of the LCR to such company by rule or order.
The Board consulted outside the Federal Reserve System with other
U.S. regulatory authorities including the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the
development of FR 2052a. In addition, data sharing agreements will be
constituted with other U.S. regulatory agencies with supervisory
responsibilities over subject institutions to monitor compliance with
the LCR and to ensure there are no redundant data collections. Also,
the Federal Reserve has held general discussions with financial
institutions regarding the proposed revisions.
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, November 26,
2014.
Robert deV. Frierson,
Secretary of the Board.
