SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal
agencies must obtain approval from
OMB for each collection of information
that they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) to include agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. The OCC is
requesting that OMB extend its approval
of the following information collection.
Title: Reporting and Recordkeeping
Requirements Associated with Liquidity
Coverage Ratio: Liquidity Risk
Measurement, Standards, and
Monitoring.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0323.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Type of Review: Regular review.
Abstract: The quantitative liquidity
requirement (12 CFR part 50) is
designed to promote improvements in
the measurement and management of
liquidity risk.
The rule applies to large and
internationally active banking
organizations—generally, bank holding
companies, certain savings and loan
holding companies, and depository
institutions with $250 billion or more in
total assets or $10 billion or more in onbalance sheet foreign exposure—and to
their consolidated subsidiaries that are
depository institutions with $10 billion
or more in total consolidated assets.
Section 50.22 requires that, with
respect to each asset eligible for
inclusion in a national bank or federal
savings association’s (FSA’s) highquality liquid assets (HQLA) amount,
the national bank or FSA must
implement policies that require eligible
HQLA to be under the control of the
management function in the national
bank or FSA responsible for managing
liquidity risk. The management function
must evidence its control over the
HQLA by segregating the HQLA from
other assets, with the sole intent to use
the HQLA as a source of liquidity, or
demonstrating the ability to monetize
the assets and making the proceeds
available to the liquidity management
function without conflicting with a
business or risk management strategy of
the national bank or FSA. In addition,
§ 50.22 requires that a national bank or
FSA have a documented methodology
that results in a consistent treatment for
determining that the national bank or
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:08 Oct 20, 2017
Jkt 244001
FSA’s eligible HQLA meet the
requirements of § 50.22.
Section 50.40 requires that a national
bank or FSA notify its appropriate
federal banking agency on any day
when its liquidity coverage ratio is
calculated to be less than the minimum
requirement in § 50.10. If a national
bank or FSA’s liquidity coverage ratio is
below the minimum requirement in
§ 50.10 for three consecutive days, or if
the OCC has determined that the
institution is otherwise materially
noncompliant, the national bank or FSA
must promptly provide a plan for
achieving compliance with the
minimum liquidity requirement in
§ 50.10 and all other requirements of
§ 50.40 to the OCC.
The liquidity plan must include, as
applicable: (1) An assessment of the
national bank or FSA ’s liquidity
position; (2) the actions the national
bank or FSA has taken and will take to
achieve full compliance, including a
plan for adjusting the national bank or
FSA’s risk profile, risk management,
and funding sources in order to achieve
full compliance and a plan for
remediating any operational or
management issues that contributed to
noncompliance; (3) an estimated time
frame for achieving full compliance; and
(4) a commitment to provide a progress
report to the OCC at least weekly until
full compliance is achieved.
Frequency of Response: Annual and
event generated.
Affected Public: Covered national
banks and FSAs.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
19.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
2,361 hours.
The OCC issued a notice for 60 days
of comment regarding this collection on
July 19, 2017, 82 FR 33202. No
comments were received. Comments
continue to be invited on:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
OCC, including whether the information
has practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the OCC’s
estimate of the information collection
burden;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection 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.
