Petitioner states that it will soon merge with another Korean affiliated corporation, Woobang E&C, and that the ‘‘merger will include about 769 service contracts.’’ The Petitioner speculates the merger will occur ‘‘on or about January 12, 2018 . . .’’ Petitioner states that both itself and Woobang E&C will be ‘‘. . . jointly and severally liable, so the current corporation guarantees the performance of the new corporation, including its service contracts.’’ Petitioner claims ‘‘[it] would be an undue burden on [itself] and its shipper customers to identify those contracts not assignable by notice and to prepare, sign and file many individual amendments.’’ Petitioner claims ‘‘there will be no reduction in competition, and the relief will promote commerce by permitting the orderly servicing of these service contracts.’’ In order for the Commission to make a thorough evaluation of the exemption requested in the Petition, pursuant to 46 CFR 502.92, 502.94, and 530.13(b), interested parties are requested to submit views or arguments in reply to the Petition no later than January 2, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board’s GSIB surcharge rule establishes a methodology to identify global systemically important bank holding companies in the United States (GSIBs) based on indicators that are correlated with systemic importance.1 Under the GSIB surcharge rule, a firm must calculate its GSIB score using a specific formula (Method 1). Method 1 uses five equally weighted categories that are correlated with systemic importance— size, interconnectedness, crossjurisdictional activity, substitutability, and complexity—and subdivided into twelve systemic indicators. For each indicator, a firm divides its own measure of each systemic indicator by an aggregate global indicator amount. The firm’s Method 1 score is the sum of its weighted systemic indicator scores expressed in basis points. The GSIB surcharge for the firm is then the higher of the GSIB surcharge determined under Method 1 and a second method that weights size, interconnectedness, crossjurisdictional activity, complexity, and a measure of a firm’s reliance on wholesale funding (instead of substitutability).2 The aggregate global indicator amounts used in the score calculation under Method 1 are based on data collected by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). The BCBS amounts are determined based on the sum of the systemic indicator scores of the 75 largest U.S. and foreign banking organizations as measured by the BCBS, and any other banking organization that the BCBS includes in its sample total for that year. The BCBS publicly releases these values, denominated in euros, each year. Pursuant to the GSIB surcharge rule, the Board publishes the aggregate global indicator amounts each year as denominated in U.S. dollars using the euro-dollar exchange rate provided by the BCBS.3 Specifically, the Board multiplied each of the eurodenominated indicator amounts made publicly available by the BCBS by 1 See 12 CFR 217.402, 217.404. second method (Method 2) uses similar inputs to those used in Method 1, but replaces the substitutability category with a measure of a firm’s use of short-term wholesale funding.

Regulation Q; Regulatory Capital Rules: Risk-Based Capital 
Surcharges for Global Systemically Important Bank Holding Companies

AGENCY: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Board is providing notice of the aggregate global 
indicator amounts for purposes of a calculation for 2017, which is 
required under the Board's rule regarding risk-based capital surcharges 
for global systemically important bank holding companies (GSIB 
surcharge rule).

DATES: Applicable: December 18, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board's GSIB surcharge rule establishes 
a methodology to identify global systemically important bank holding 
companies in the United States (GSIBs) based on indicators that are 
correlated with systemic importance.\1\ Under the GSIB surcharge rule, 
a firm must calculate its GSIB score using a specific formula (Method 
1). Method 1 uses five equally weighted categories that are correlated 
with systemic importance--size, interconnectedness, cross-
jurisdictional activity, substitutability, and complexity--and 
subdivided into twelve systemic indicators. For each indicator, a firm 
divides its own measure of each systemic indicator by an aggregate 
global indicator amount. The firm's Method 1 score is the sum of its 
weighted systemic indicator scores expressed in basis points. The GSIB 
surcharge for the firm is then the higher of the GSIB surcharge 
determined under Method 1 and a second method that weights size, 
interconnectedness, cross-jurisdictional activity, complexity, and a 
measure of a firm's reliance on wholesale funding (instead of 
substitutability).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See 12 CFR 217.402, 217.404.
    \2\ The second method (Method 2) uses similar inputs to those 
used in Method 1, but replaces the substitutability category with a 
measure of a firm's use of short-term wholesale funding. In 
addition, Method 2 is calibrated differently from Method 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The aggregate global indicator amounts used in the score 
calculation under Method 1 are based on data collected by the Basel 
Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). The BCBS amounts are 
determined based on the sum of the systemic indicator scores of the 75 
largest U.S. and foreign banking organizations as measured by the BCBS, 
and any other banking organization that the BCBS includes in its sample 
total for that year. The BCBS publicly releases these values, 
denominated in euros, each year. Pursuant to the GSIB surcharge rule, 
the Board publishes the aggregate global indicator amounts each year as 
denominated in U.S. dollars using the euro-dollar exchange rate 
provided by the BCBS.\3\ Specifically, the Board multiplied each of the 
euro-denominated indicator amounts made publicly available by the BCBS 
by
