The information collection requirements of the Executive Order are evidenced via the certification PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 requirements delineated at FAR 52.212– 3 paragraph (i), and 52.222–18.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 9, 2017, the Board published in 
the Federal Register proposed guidance \1\ on supervisory expectations 
for boards of directors of firms supervised by the Federal Reserve. The 
proposal addresses supervisory expectations for 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

companies, the proposal would establish attributes of effective boards 
centered on the board's core responsibilities, which support safety and 
soundness, and would provide the framework with which the Federal 
Reserve would evaluate the effectiveness of a firm's boards of 
directors. For all domestic bank and savings and loan holding

letters containing supervisory expectations for boards of directors 
would be revised or eliminated to more clearly distinguish a board's 
roles and responsibilities from those of senior management and allow
