Change in Bank Control Notices; Acquisitions of Shares of a Bank or Bank Holding Company, 10486-10487 [2015-03984]

Download as PDF 10486 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 38 / Thursday, February 26, 2015 / Notices rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES excluded from reporting in Memorandum item 1, consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules. The Federal Reserve did not receive any comments on memoranda items 2, 3 or 4, and will implement as proposed. 2. Proposed FR Y–9C, Schedule HC–L FR Y–9C, Schedule HC–L collects regulatory data on derivatives and offbalance sheet items. The Federal Reserve proposed to revise the reporting requirements for off-balance sheet exposures related to securities lent and borrowed, consistent with the revised regulatory capital rules. Compared to the current schedule, the proposed changes to Schedule HC–L would require all banking organizations to report the amount of securities borrowed. At present, banking organizations include the amount of securities borrowed in the total amount of all other off-balance sheet liabilities reported in item 9 of Schedule HC–L if the amount of securities borrowed is more than 10 percent of total holding company equity capital and they disclose the amount of securities borrowed if that amount is more than 25 percent of total holding company equity capital. In addition, the proposed changes to Schedule HC–L would require institutions to report securities borrowed in a new item 6.b immediately after the line item for securities lent, which would be renumbered from item 6 to item 6.a. One commenter noted that the current instructions for item 9 state to ‘‘report all securities borrowed against collateral (other than cash)’’ for such purposes as serving ‘‘as a pledge against deposit liabilities or delivery against short sales,’’ whereas the current instructions for item 6 state to report all securities owned that are ‘‘lent against collateral or on an uncollateralized basis.’’ The commenter characterizes current item 9 as inclusive of only certain types of securities borrowings such as those collateralized by ‘‘other than cash’’ and those ‘‘for purposes as a pledge against deposit liabilities or short sales,’’ whereas current item 6 covers all types of securities lending regardless of the type of collateral. The commenter suggested clarifying the scope of these two items. The Federal Reserve will clarify the instructions for new item 6(b) to state that institutions should report all types of securities borrowing, regardless of collateral type or purpose. The phrases ‘‘other than cash’’ and ‘‘for such purpose as a pledge against deposit liabilities or delivery against short sales’’ will be deleted from the final instructions for new item 6(b). VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:27 Feb 25, 2015 Jkt 235001 3. Initial Reporting For the March 31, 2015, report date, institutions may provide reasonable estimates for any new or revised FR Y– 9C items initially required to be reported as of that date for which the requested information is not readily available. 2. Report Title: Parent Company Only Financial Statements for Small Holding Companies. Agency form number: FR Y–9SP. OMB control number: 7100–0128. Frequency: Semiannually, as of the last calendar day of June and December. Reporters: BHCs, SLHCs and SHCs with total consolidated assets of less than $1 billion (small BHCs, small SLHCs and small SHCs). Estimated average hours per response: 5.40 hours. Estimated annual reporting hours: 47,412. Number of respondents: 4,390. General description of report: This information collection is mandatory for BHCs [12 U.S.C. 1844(c)(1)(A).] Additionally, 12 U.S.C. 1467a(b)(2)(A) and 1850a(c)(1)(A), respectively, authorize the Federal Reserve to require that SLHCs and supervised SHCs file the FR Y–9SP with the Federal Reserve. Confidential treatment is not routinely given to the financial data in this report. However, confidential treatment for the reporting information, in whole or in part, can be requested in accordance with the instructions to the form, pursuant to sections (b)(4), (b)(6), or (b)(8) of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4), (b)(6), and (b)(8)). Abstract: The FR Y–9SP is a parent company only financial statement filed semiannually by smaller HCs. Respondents include HCs with total consolidated assets of less than $1 billion. This form is a simplified or abbreviated version of the FR Y–9LP. This report is designed to obtain basic parent company balance sheet and income data, data on intangible assets, and data on intercompany transactions. Current Actions: On August 6, 2014, the Federal Reserve published a notice in the Federal Register (79 FR 45808) requesting public comment for 60 days on the revision, without extension, of the FR Y–9SP. The comment period for this notice expired on October 6, 2014. The Federal Reserve did not receive any comments. However, in light of the legislation adopted by Congress on December 11, 2014, the Federal Reserve will not finalize the proposed revisions to FR Y–9SP Schedule SC–R, Part II, for SLHCs that otherwise would have been subject to the Small BHC Policy Statement in effect as of the filing date for the FR Y–9SP. PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Discussion of Recent Legislation and Rulemaking Affecting Proposed Revisions to the FR Y–9SP In December 2014, Congress enacted and the President signed into law Public Law 113–250. Public Law 113–250 directs the Board to publish in the Federal Register proposed revisions to the Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement to, in part, exempt small SLHCs from the minimum capital requirements mandated by section 171 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act as if they were BHCs subject to the Small BHC Policy Statement. On January 29, 2015, the Board issued an interim final rule that would exclude SLHCs that have total consolidated assets of less than $500 million and that meet other qualitative requirements from the Board’s regulatory capital requirements (Regulation Q). In light of Public Law 113–250 and the rulemaking, the Federal Reserve will not finalize the proposed revisions to the FR Y–9SP, Part II, for SLHCs with total consolidated assets of less than $500 million that meet the qualitative requirements of the Policy Statement.
