Final approval under OMB delegated
authority of the extension for three
years, with revision, of the following
report:
Report title: Joint Standards for
Assessing Diversity Policies and
Practices.
Agency form number: FR 2100.
OMB control number: 7100–0368.
Frequency: Annual.
Respondents: Financial institutions
regulated by the Federal Reserve.
Estimated annual burden hours: 3,912
hours.
Estimated average hours per response:
8 hours.
Number of respondents: 488.
General description of report: Section
342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act of
2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) requires the
Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System (Board),
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC), National Credit Union
Administration (NCUA), Bureau of
Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB),
and Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) (the Agencies) each
to establish an Office of Minority and
Women Inclusion (OMWI) to be
responsible for all matters of the Agency
relating to diversity in management,
employment, and business activities.
Section 342 requires each OMWI
director to develop standards for
‘‘assessing the diversity policies and
practices of entities regulated by the
agency.’’ The Policy Statement,
published jointly by the Agencies in
June 2015, contain those standards.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: The Board’s Legal
Division has determined that the
information collections contained
within the Policy Statement are
authorized by section 342 of the DoddFrank Act, which requires the Board’s
PO 00000
Frm 00039
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
89463
OMWI director to develop standards for
assessing regulated entities’ diversity
policies and practices and are voluntary.
The Standard regarding transparency,
and a portion of the self-assessment
Standard, call for regulated entities to
provide information to the public, so
confidentiality is not an issue with
respect to those aspects of the Policy. A
regulated entity may provide selfassessment material to the Board that
contains confidential commercial
information protectable under
exemption 4 of the Freedom of
Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4), and
may request that the information be kept
confidential on a case-by-case basis. The
Federal Reserve will determine whether
the information is entitled to
confidential treatment on an ad hoc
basis in connection with such a request.
As noted in the Policy Statement, an
entity’s primary federal regulator may
share information obtained from
regulated entities with other Agencies,
but will publish information disclosed
to them only in a form that does not
identify a particular entity or individual
or disclose confidential business
information.
Current Actions: The Federal Reserve
previously received OMB approval for a
voluntary information collection with
respect to the Policy Statement,
pursuant to which entities regulated by
the Federal Reserve voluntarily selfassess their diversity policies and
practices.1 This revision to that
collection adds the Diversity SelfAssessment Template to assist with the
self-assessment. The Template (1) asks
for general information about a
respondent; (2) includes a checklist of
the standards set forth in the Policy
Statement; (3) seeks additional diversity
data; and (4) provides an opportunity
for a respondent to provide other
information regarding or comment on
the self-assessment of its diversity
policies and practices.
On September 27, 2016, the Federal
Reserve published a notice in the
Federal Register (81 FR 66275)
requesting comment on the proposal to
include a reporting tool entitled
‘‘Diversity Self-Assessment Template.’’
The comment period for this notice
expired on November 28, 2016. The
Federal Reserve did not receive any
comments. The reporting template will
be implemented as proposed.
