Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 235 / Wednesday, December 7, 2016 / Notices
publicly under the Basel Capital
Framework, to monitor compliance with
enhanced prudential standards for FBOs
in Regulation YY. These 12 new data
items would include, among other
items, information relating to the capital
conservation buffer, countercyclical
capital buffer, and global systemically
important banking organization capital
buffer.
A commenter also requested that the
Board expand the confidential treatment
for certain of the proposed new items.
The proposal stated that the Board
would determine confidentiality on the
proposed items reported on the FR Y–
7Q on a case-by-case basis. However,
the proposal noted that some
jurisdictions may treat the information
collected as confidential on a blanket
basis on the grounds that a more
selective confidential treatment could
signal an FBO’s financial strength or
weakness and could thereby cause
substantial competitive harm. Therefore,
the proposal invited comment on
whether these items should qualify for
confidential treatment in all cases, such
that treating this information as
confidential on a blanket basis would be
appropriate.
In response to the proposal, a
commenter suggested the following
modifications to the Board’s proposed
‘‘case-by-case’’ approach: (1) Where a
home country supervisor treats an item
included in Part 1B as confidential on
a blanket basis, the Board likewise
should extend blanket confidential
treatment of that item to all FBOs
supervised by the home country
authority; and (2) where a home country
supervisor treats an item included in
Part 1B as confidential on a case-by-case
basis, the Board should automatically
treat this item as confidential for any
FBO whose home country supervisor
has extended such treatment.
As discussed above, in response to
commenters’ general concerns regarding
confidentiality, the Board has revised
the FR Y–7Q to collect only information
that is expected to be disclosed under
the Basel Capital Framework, and
therefore will be public and not
considered confidential. The Board
further notes that information disclosed
in these reports would be collected as
part of the Board’s supervisory process
and may be accorded confidential
treatment under Exemption 8 of FOIA.
However, individual respondents may
request that certain data be protected
pursuant to Exemptions 4 and 6 of
FOIA, where such data relates to trade
secrets and financial information, or to
personal information, respectively. The
applicability of these exemptions will
be determined on a case-by-case basis.

In addition, the proposed
modification to the ‘‘case-by-case’’
approach set forth by one commenter
would require the Federal Reserve to
determine confidentiality for all FBOs
supervised by a particular home-country
authority on a country-by-country basis.
An FBO seeking confidential treatment
for any information reported on the FR
Y–7Q must file a request pursuant to
Exemption 4 of FOIA and state in
reasonable detail the facts supporting
the request and the legal justification for
the request. Because the FBO is best
suited to describe its home country
supervisor’s confidential treatment of
information, the Federal Reserve relies
on information provided by the FBO in
making its determination of whether the
release of that information would cause
the FBO substantial competitive harm.
In addition, the Federal Reserve may
need additional information to support
such a determination, and the home
country supervisor’s treatment of the
information alone may not meet the
standard for confidential treatment in
Exemption 4 of FOIA in all cases.
Accordingly, as proposed, the Federal
Reserve would grant an FBO’s request
for confidential status for information
reported on the FR Y–7Q, pursuant to
Exemption 4 of FOIA, only on a caseby-case basis.
3. Prohibited Items
A commenter also requested that the
Board confirm that an FBO would not
be required to report any item where
applicable home country law prohibits
the FBO from disclosing such item to
any person, except an appropriate home
country supervisor, regardless of
whether the other person would agree to
keep such information strictly
confidential.
The Board is authorized by law to
collect information from an FBO
regarding its financial condition and, in
submitting to the Board’s jurisdiction,
an FBO is required to provide the Board
with adequate assurances that
information will be made available to
the Board on the operations or activities
of the FBO and any of its affiliates that
the Board deems necessary to determine
and enforce compliance with applicable
federal banking statutes, including
information on its consolidated
regulatory capital information.
Therefore, an FBO is required to provide
all of the information requested on the
FR Y–7Q report. However, there could
be infrequent instances that may raise
questions about an FBO’s ability to
report a particular item on the FR Y–7Q
if home country law prohibits an FBO
from reporting that information to the
Board, and, in those limited

circumstances, the Board may consider
an FBO’s request not to report that
information on the FR Y–7Q, on a caseby-case basis.
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, December 2, 2016.

Secretary of the Board.

Proposed Project
Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
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,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
As of October 11, 2016, the U.S.
Virgin Islands (USVI) Department of
Health reported 1,320 Zika cases, in
which 524 have been confirmed Zika
cases.
Ongoing Zika virus transmission in
the USVI intensifies the urgent public
health need to increase contraceptive
access for women who choose to delay
or avoid pregnancy as a primary strategy
to reduce Zika-related adverse
pregnancy and birth outcomes. Among
the approximately 12,000 women at risk
of unintended pregnancy (women of
reproductive age, 18–44 years, who are
sexually active and fertile, and not
currently desiring a pregnancy) in the
USVI, nearly half are not using highly
or moderately effective contraception
(long acting reversible methods
[LARCs], including intrauterine devices
[IUDs] and implants, or hormonal
methods).
In response to the continued impact
of the Zika virus in the USVI, CDC is
proposing to develop a comprehensive
communication strategy to raise
awareness that pregnancy prevention in
women who choose to delay or avoid
pregnancy is a primary strategy to
reduce Zika-related adverse pregnancy
and birth outcomes, as well as inform
women about available contraceptive
methods and services. To ensure the
cultural appropriateness and relevance
of this approach, CDC plans to conduct
a formative assessment with women and
men between the ages of 18 and 44 years
in the USVI.
The goal of this information collection
request is to qualitatively assess current
knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs
regarding contraception use, in general,
and related to Zika virus exposure, in
particular, in the USVI. We will explore
perceived barriers to accessing
contraception and effective ways to
provide messages about the
contraceptive methods and services
available. Additionally, we will seek
information on acceptable messaging
strategies, including message content
and related imagery, effective channels
for message dissemination, and
appropriate spokespersons and partners.
