There are no annualized capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. Changes in the Estimates: The total annual burden for respondents associated with pesticide product registration maintenance fee is 1,681 hours, a decrease from 1,993 hours as previously reported in the last ICR. The reason for the decrease was a slight refinement in the estimate per response from 1.14 hours to 1.13 hours and a reduction in the number responses from 1,744 to 1,471. Costs increased since the last renewal because of labor cost increases. The total estimated annual respondent burden for the pesticide registration service fee waivers information collection has increased about 15% from 5,914 hours in the existing ICR to 6,840 hours for this renewal, due to the increase of respondent’s usage of the newer waiver provisions allowed under the law.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Board invites comment on a proposal addressing supervisory expectations for the boards of directors of bank holding companies, savings and loan holding companies, state member banks, U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banking organizations, and systemically important nonbank financial companies designated by the Financial Stability Oversight Council for supervision by the Federal Reserve. For the largest domestic bank and savings and loan holding companies and systemically important nonbank financial companies, the proposal would establish principles regarding effective boards of directors focused on the performance of a board’s core responsibilities. The proposal would also better distinguish between the roles and responsibilities of an institution’s board of directors and those of senior management. For domestic bank and savings and loan holding companies, the proposal also would eliminate or revise supervisory expectations contained in certain existing Federal Reserve Supervision and Regulation letters, which would be aligned with existing or proposed guidance for boards depending on the size of the firm.

For the hearing impaired only, Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD) users may contact (202) 263– 4869. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board invites comment on a proposal addressing supervisory expectations on boards of directors (boards or boards of directors). The proposal has been informed by a multi-year review by the Federal Reserve of practices of boards of directors, particularly at the largest banking organizations. The review assessed, among other things, the factors that make boards effective, the challenges boards face, and how boards influence the safety and soundness of their firms and promote compliance with laws and regulations. The Federal Reserve also reviewed expectations contained in Board supervisory guidance. This notice and the guidance proposed herein constitute the results of the review. Among other things, the results of the review and discussions with independent directors suggest that supervisory expectations for boards of PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 37219 directors and senior management have become increasingly difficult to distinguish. Greater clarity regarding these supervisory expectations could improve corporate governance overall, increase efficiency, support greater accountability, and promote compliance with laws and regulations. The results of the review also suggest that boards often devote a significant amount of time satisfying supervisory expectations that do not directly relate to the board’s core responsibilities, which include guiding the development of the firm’s strategy and the types and levels of risk it is willing to take (also referred to as risk tolerance), overseeing senior management and holding them accountable for effective risk management and compliance among other responsibilities, supporting the stature and independence of the firm’s independent risk management and internal audit functions, and adopting effective governance practices. Boards completing such non-core tasks may do so at the expense of sufficiently focusing on their core responsibilities, which when exercised effectively promote the safety and soundness of the firm. Finally, the results of the review suggest that boards of large financial institutions face significant information flow challenges, especially in preparing for and participating in board meetings. Absent actively managing its information flow, boards can be overwhelmed by the quantity and complexity of information they receive. Although boards have oversight responsibilities over senior management, they are inherently disadvantaged given their dependence on senior management for the quality and availability of information. The Board invites comment on a proposal consisting of three parts that are each intended to refocus supervisory expectations for boards on a board’s core responsibilities. The first part includes proposed supervisory guidance addressing effective boards of directors (proposed BE guidance), which would apply to all bank and savings and loan holding companies with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more, and to systemically important nonbank financial companies designated by the Financial Stability Oversight Council for supervision by the Federal Reserve.1 The proposed BE guidance would clarify supervisory expectations for boards as distinct from 1 The proposed BE guidance would not apply to U.S. intermediate holding companies (IHCs) of foreign banking organizations (FBOs) established pursuant to Regulation YY. The Board anticipates proposing guidance on board effectiveness for IHCs at a later date. E:\FR\FM\09AUN1.SGM 09AUN1
