Number of respondents: FR Y–7N
(annual): 50; FR Y–7N (annual): 46; FR
Y–7NS: 66; FR Y–7Q (quarterly): 137;
FR Y–7Q (annual): 32.
General description of report: The FR
Y–7N and FR Y–7NS collect financial
information for non-functionally
regulated U.S. nonbank subsidiaries
held by FBOs other than through a BHC,
IHC or U.S. bank. FBOs file the FR Y–
7N quarterly or annually or the FR Y–
7NS annually predominantly based on
asset size thresholds. The FR Y–7Q
collects consolidated regulatory capital
information from all FBOs either
quarterly or annually. The FR Y–7Q is
filed quarterly by FBOs that have
effectively elected to become or be
treated as a U.S. financial holding
company (FHC) and by FBOs that have
total consolidated assets of $50 billion
or more, regardless of FHC status. All
other FBOs file the FR Y–7Q annually.
Proposed revisions: The Federal
Reserve proposes to revise the report
form and instructions for the FR Y–7N
to eliminate the concept of
extraordinary items to be consistent
with Accounting Standards Update
(ASU) 2015–01, reclassify and clarify
the reporting for certain tax benefits,
and replace report form captions and
instructions referencing ‘‘Loans net of
unearned income’’ with ‘‘Loans held for
investment,’’ effective for reports
submitted on or after October 1, 2017,
beginning with the reports reflecting the
September 30, 2017 report date.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: The Board’s Legal
Division has determined that the FR Y–
7N, FR Y–7NS, and FR Y–7Q are
authorized by section 5(c) of the Bank
Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C.
1844(c)) and sections 8(c) and 13 of the
International Banking Act (12 U.S.C.
3106(c) and 3108). Section 165 of the
Dodd-Frank Act (12 U.S.C. 5365) directs
the Board to establish enhanced
prudential standards for certain
companies, including certain FBOs. The
obligation of covered institutions to
report this information is mandatory. In
general, the Board does not consider the
financial data in these reports to be
confidential. However, a respondent
may request confidential treatment
pursuant to sections (b)(4), (b)(6), and
(b)(8) of the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4), (b)(6), and (b)(8)).
The applicability of these exemptions
would need to be reviewed on a case by
case basis.

Proposal To Approve Under OMB
Delegated Authority the Extension for
Three Years, With Revision, of the
Following Information Collections
1. Report title: Financial Statements of
U.S. Nonbank Subsidiaries of U.S.
Holding Companies and the
Abbreviated Financial Statements of
U.S. Nonbank Subsidiaries of U.S.
Holding Companies.
Agency form number: FR Y–11 and
FR Y–11S.
OMB control number: 7100–0244.
Frequency: Quarterly and annually.
Reporters: Holding companies.
Estimated annual reporting hours: FR
Y–11 (quarterly): 17,244; FR Y–11
(annual): 1,564; FR Y–11S: 299.
Estimated average hours per response:
FR Y–11 (quarterly): 6.8; FR Y–11

Number of respondents: FR Y–11
(quarterly): 634; FR Y–11 (annual): 230;
FR Y–11S: 299.
General Description of Report: The FR
Y–11 reporting forms collect financial
information for individual non-

32815
functionally regulated U.S. nonbank
subsidiaries of domestic holding
companies (i.e., bank holding
companies, savings and loan holding
companies, securities holding
companies, and intermediate holding
companies). Holding companies file the
FR Y–11 on a quarterly or annual basis
or the FR Y–11S on an annual basis,
predominantly based on whether the
organization meets certain asset size
thresholds. The FR Y–11 data are used
with other holding company data to
assess the condition of holding
companies that are heavily engaged in
nonbanking activities and to monitor
the volume, nature, and condition of
their nonbanking operations.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: The Board’s Legal
Division has determined that the FR Y–
11 series of reports are mandatory and
the collection of these reports from bank
holding companies, savings and loan
holding companies, securities holding
companies, and intermediate holding
companies (IHCs) is authorized under:
Section 5(c) of the Bank Holding
Company Act (BHC Act) (12 U.S.C.
1844(c)); section 10(b) of the
Homeowners’ Loan Act (12 U.S.C.
1467a(b)(2)); section 165 of the DoddFrank Act (12 U.S.C. 5365)(IHCs only);
sections 8 and 13 of the International
Banking Act (12 U.S.C. 3106, 3108); and
section 618 of the Dodd-Frank Act, (12
U.S.C. 1850a). Overall, the Federal
Reserve does not consider these data to
be confidential. However, a respondent
may request confidential treatment
pursuant to sections (b)(4), (b)(6), and
(b)(8) of the Freedom of Information Act
(5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4), (b)(6), (b)(8)). The
applicability of these exemptions would
need to be determined on a case-by-case
basis.
Proposed revisions: The Federal
Reserve is proposing to revise the
instructions for Schedule IS and related
line item captions on the reporting form
to remove the term ‘‘extraordinary
items’’ and replace it with
‘‘discontinued operations’’ on the
Financial Statements of U.S. Nonbank
Subsidiaries of U.S. Holding Companies
(FR Y–11), effective for reports
submitted on or after October 1, 2017,
beginning with the reports reflecting the
September 30, 2017 report date. This
reflects ASU No. 2015–01, ‘‘Simplifying
Income Statement Presentation by
Eliminating the Concept of
Extraordinary Items,’’ issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board
in 2015. Additionally, the Federal
Reserve proposes to replace report form
captions and instructions referencing
‘‘Loans net of unearned income’’ with

Organizations and the Abbreviated
Financial Statements of Foreign
Subsidiaries of U.S. Banking
Organizations.
Agency form number: FR 2314 and FR

Number of respondents: FR 2314
(quarterly): 523; FR 2314 (annual): 256;
FR 2314S: 322.
General Description of Report: The FR
2314 reporting forms collect financial
information for non-functionally
regulated direct or indirect foreign
subsidiaries of U.S. state member banks
(SMBs), Edge and agreement
corporations, and holding companies
(i.e., bank holding companies, savings
and loan holding companies, securities
holding companies, and intermediate
holding companies). Parent
organizations (SMBs, Edge and
agreement corporations, or holding
companies) file the FR 2314 on a
quarterly or annual basis, or the FR
2314S on an annual basis,
predominantly based on whether the
organization meets certain asset size
thresholds. The FR 2314 data are used
to identify current and potential
problems at the foreign subsidiaries of
U.S. parent companies, to monitor the
activities of U.S. banking organizations
in specific countries, and to develop a
better understanding of activities within
the industry, in general, and of
individual institutions, in particular.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: The Board’s Legal
Division has determined that the FR
2314 series of reports is mandatory and
the collection of these reports from bank
holding companies, savings and loan
holding companies, securities holding
companies, and intermediate holding
companies (IHCs) is authorized under:
Section 5(c) of the Bank Holding
Company Act (BHC Act) (12 U.S.C.

under sections 9(6), 25(7) and 25A(17)
of the Federal Reserve Act, (12 U.S.C.

a. Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the Federal Reserve's functions; including
whether the information has practical utility;
b. The accuracy of the Federal Reserve's estimate of the burden of
the proposed information collection, 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 collection on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology; and
e. Estimates of capital or startup costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
At the end of the comment period, the comments and recommendations
received will be analyzed to determine the extent to which the Federal
Reserve should modify the proposed revisions prior to giving final
approval.
Proposal To Approve Under OMB Delegated Authority the Extension for
Three Years, With Revision, of the Following Information Collections
1. Report title: Financial Statements of U.S. Nonbank Subsidiaries
of U.S. Holding Companies and the Abbreviated Financial Statements of
U.S. Nonbank Subsidiaries of U.S. Holding Companies.
Agency form number: FR Y-11 and FR Y-11S.
OMB control number: 7100-0244.
Frequency: Quarterly and annually.
Reporters: Holding companies.
Estimated annual reporting hours: FR Y-11 (quarterly): 17,244; FR
Y-11 (annual): 1,564; FR Y-11S: 299.
Estimated average hours per response: FR Y-11 (quarterly): 6.8; FR
Y-11 (annual): 6.8; FR Y-11S: 1.
Number of respondents: FR Y-11 (quarterly): 634; FR Y-11 (annual):
230; FR Y-11S: 299.
General Description of Report: The FR Y-11 reporting forms collect
financial information for individual non-functionally regulated U.S.
nonbank subsidiaries of domestic holding companies (i.e., bank holding
companies, savings and loan holding companies, securities holding
companies, and intermediate holding companies). Holding companies file
the FR Y-11 on a quarterly or annual basis or the FR Y-11S on an annual
basis, predominantly based on whether the organization meets certain
asset size thresholds. The FR Y-11 data are used with other holding
company data to assess the condition of holding companies that are
heavily engaged in nonbanking activities and to monitor the volume,
nature, and condition of their nonbanking operations.
Legal authorization and confidentiality: The Board's Legal Division
has determined that the FR Y-11 series of reports are mandatory and the
collection of these reports from bank holding companies, savings and
loan holding companies, securities holding companies, and intermediate
holding companies (IHCs) is authorized under: Section 5(c) of the Bank
Holding Company Act (BHC Act) (12 U.S.C. 1844(c)); section 10(b) of the
Homeowners' Loan Act (12 U.S.C. 1467a(b)(2)); section 165 of the Dodd-
Frank Act (12 U.S.C. 5365)(IHCs only); sections 8 and 13 of the
International Banking Act (12 U.S.C. 3106, 3108); and section 618 of
the Dodd-Frank Act, (12 U.S.C. 1850a). Overall, the Federal Reserve
does not consider these data to be confidential. However, a respondent
may request confidential treatment pursuant to sections (b)(4), (b)(6),
and (b)(8) of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4),
(b)(6), (b)(8)). The applicability of these exemptions would need to be
determined on a case-by-case basis.
Proposed revisions: The Federal Reserve is proposing to revise the
instructions for Schedule IS and related line item captions on the
reporting form to remove the term ``extraordinary items'' and replace
it with ``discontinued operations'' on the Financial Statements of U.S.
Nonbank Subsidiaries of U.S. Holding Companies (FR Y-11), effective for
reports submitted on or after October 1, 2017, beginning with the
reports reflecting the September 30, 2017 report date. This reflects
ASU No. 2015-01, ``Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by
Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items,'' issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board in 2015. Additionally, the Federal
Reserve proposes to replace report form captions and instructions
referencing ``Loans net of unearned income'' with
[[Page 32816]]
``Loans held for investment'' where applicable.
2. Report title: Financial Statements of Foreign Subsidiaries of
U.S. Banking Organizations and the Abbreviated Financial Statements of
Foreign Subsidiaries of U.S. Banking Organizations.
Agency form number: FR 2314 and FR 2314S.
OMB control number: 7100-0073.
Frequency: Quarterly and annually.
Reporters: U.S. state member banks, holding companies, and Edge or
agreement corporations.
Estimated annual reporting hours: FR 2314 (quarterly): 13,807; FR
2314 (annual): 1,690; FR 2314S: 322.
Estimated average hours per response: FR 2314 (quarterly): 6.6; FR
2314 (annual): 6.6; FR 2314S: 1.
Number of respondents: FR 2314 (quarterly): 523; FR 2314 (annual):
256; FR 2314S: 322.
General Description of Report: The FR 2314 reporting forms collect
financial information for non-functionally regulated direct or indirect
foreign subsidiaries of U.S. state member banks (SMBs), Edge and
agreement corporations, and holding companies (i.e., bank holding
companies, savings and loan holding companies, securities holding
companies, and intermediate holding companies). Parent organizations
(SMBs, Edge and agreement corporations, or holding companies) file the
FR 2314 on a quarterly or annual basis, or the FR 2314S on an annual
basis, predominantly based on whether the organization meets certain
asset size thresholds. The FR 2314 data are used to identify current
and potential problems at the foreign subsidiaries of U.S. parent
companies, to monitor the activities of U.S. banking organizations in
specific countries, and to develop a better understanding of activities
within the industry, in general, and of individual institutions, in
particular.
Legal authorization and confidentiality: The Board's Legal Division
has determined that the FR 2314 series of reports is mandatory and the
collection of these reports from bank holding companies, savings and
loan holding companies, securities holding companies, and intermediate
holding companies (IHCs) is authorized under: Section 5(c) of the Bank
Holding Company Act (BHC Act) (12 U.S.C. 1844(c)); section 10(b) of the
Homeowners' Loan Act, (12 U.S.C. 1467a(b)(2)); section 165 of the Dodd-
Frank Act, (12 U.S.C. 5365)(IHCs only); sections 8 and 13 of the
International Banking Act (12 U.S.C. 3106, 3108); and section 618 of
the Dodd-Frank Act, (12 U.S.C. 1850a). Collection of information from
non-functionally regulated direct or indirect foreign subsidiaries of
U.S. state member banks, Edge and agreement corporations filing the FR
2314 series of reports is authorized under sections 9(6), 25(7) and
25A(17) of the Federal Reserve Act, (12 U.S.C. 324, 602, and 625),
respectively. Overall, the Federal Reserve does not consider these data
to be confidential. However, a respondent may request confidential
treatment pursuant to sections (b)(4), (b)(6), and (b)(8) of the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4), (b)(6), (b)(8)). The
applicability of these exemptions would need to be determined on a
case-by-case basis.
Proposed revisions: The Federal Reserve is proposing to revise the
instructions for Schedule IS and related line item captions on the
reporting form to remove the term ``extraordinary items'' and replace
it with ``discontinued operations'' on the Financial Statements of
Foreign Subsidiaries of U.S. Banking Organizations (FR 2314), effective
