Legal authorization and confidentiality: This information collection is mandatory pursuant to section 165(d)(8) of the Dodd-Frank Act (Pub. L. 111–203, 124 Stat. 1376, 1426– 1427), 12 U.S.C. 5365(d)(8), which requires the Board and the FDIC to jointly issue rules implementing the provisions of section 165(d) of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Board’s Legal Division has determined that under section 112(d)(5)(A) of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Board and the FDIC ‘‘shall maintain the confidentiality of any data, information, and reports submitted under’’ Title I (which includes section 165(d), the authority this regulation is promulgated under) of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Board and the FDIC will assess the confidentiality of resolution plans and related material in accordance with FOIA and the Board’s and the FDIC’s implementing regulations (12 CFR part 261 (Board); 12 CFR part 309 (FDIC)). The Board and the FDIC expect that large portions of the submissions will contain or consist of ‘‘trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential’’ and information that is ‘‘contained in or related to examination, operating, or condition reports prepared by, on behalf of, or for the use of an agency responsible for the regulation or supervision of financial institutions.’’ This information is subject to withholding under exemptions 4 and 8 of the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and 552(b)(8).4 The Board and the FDIC also recognize, however, that the regulation calls for the submission of details regarding covered companies that are publicly available or otherwise are not sensitive and should be made public. In order to address this, the regulation requires resolution plans to be divided into two portions: a public section and a confidential section. In addition to any responses to guidance from the Agencies, the public section of the resolution plan should consist of an executive summary of the resolution plan that describes the business of the covered company and includes, to the extent material to an understanding of the covered company: (i) The names of material entities; (ii) a description of core business lines; (iii) consolidated or segment financial 4 Depending upon the circumstances of any specific FOIA request, other exemptions may also apply. VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:00 Jan 19, 2018 Jkt 244001 information regarding assets, liabilities, capital and major funding sources; (iv) a description of derivative activities and hedging activities; (v) a list of memberships in material payment, clearing, and settlement systems; (vi) a description of foreign operations; (vii) the identities of material supervisory authorities; (viii) the identities of the principal officers; (ix) a description of the corporate governance structure and processes related to resolution planning; (x) a description of material management information systems; and (xi) a description, at a high level, of the covered company’s resolution strategy, covering such items as the range of potential purchasers of the covered company, its material entities and core business lines. While the information in the public section of a resolution plan should be sufficiently detailed to allow the public to understand the business of the covered company, such information can be high level in nature and based on publicly available information. The public section will be made available to the public exactly as submitted by the covered companies as soon as possible following receipt by the agencies. A covered company should submit a properly substantiated request for confidential treatment of any details in the confidential section that it believes are subject to withholding under exemption 4 of the FOIA. In addition, the Board and the FDIC will make formal exemption and segregability determinations if and when a plan is requested under the FOIA. Consultation outside the agency: The Board consulted with FDIC staff regarding the revised burden estimate. In addition, to inform the Board’s estimates, Board staff sought information from all respondents concerning each respondent’s estimate of the burden associated with this collection. A total of 33 respondents provided burden information. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, January 17, 2018. Ann E. Misback, Secretary of the Board.

General description of report: Pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHC Act), as amended, and the Home Owners’ Loan Act (HOLA), the Federal Reserve requires HCs to provide standardized financial statements to fulfill the Federal Reserve’s statutory obligation to supervise these organizations. HCs file the FRY–9C and FR Y–9LP quarterly, the FR Y–9SP semiannually, the FR Y– 9ES annually, and the FR Y–9CS on a VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:00 Jan 19, 2018 Jkt 244001 schedule that is determined when this supplement is used. Proposed revisions: The Federal Reserve is implementing a number of revisions to the FR Y–9C reporting requirements, most of which are consistent with recent changes to the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call Reports) (FFIEC 031 & 041; OMB No. 7100–0036).1 Additionally, the Federal Reserve will eliminate the concept of extraordinary items on various reports, add one new item to the FR Y–9SP report, and revise the instructions to clarify the reporting of certain tax benefits on various reports. These changes would be effective for reports reflecting the March 31, 2018, report date. The changes include: • Deleting existing data items from Schedule HI–B, Part I, Charge-Offs and Recoveries on Loans and Leases and Changes in Allowance for Loans and Lease Losses, of the FR Y–9C report that pertain to charge-offs and recoveries on loans to U.S banks and foreign banks. • Deleting existing data items from Schedule HC–M, Memoranda, and Schedule HC–N, Past Due and Nonaccrual Loans, and Leases and Other Assets of the FR Y–9C that pertain to certain loans covered by loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC. • Increasing one reporting threshold and adding one new reporting threshold on the FR Y–9C for certain data items on Schedule HI, Consolidated Income Statement. • Eliminating extraordinary items on the FR Y–9LP. • Revising data items for the reclassification of certain tax benefits on the FR Y–9C and FR Y–9LP. • Adding one new data item to Schedule SI of the FR Y–9SP to collect information pertaining to discontinued operations. • Revising one control total and adding two control totals on Schedule HC–C and HC–N of the FR Y–9C report. • Revising captions and instructions to replace ‘‘Loans net of unearned income’’ with ‘‘Loans held for investment’’ for the FR Y–9C, FR Y– 9LP, FR Y–9SP, FR Y–7N and the FR 2886b. 1 The reporting changes to the FFIEC 031 and FFIEC 041 became effective March 31, 2017. See 82 Fed. Reg. 2444 (January 9, 2017). Certain data items deleted on the FFIEC 031 and FFIEC 041 do not correspond to any FR Y–9C data items. Also, certain data items that were deleted from the FFIEC 041 report because the data is predominantly reported by banks with foreign offices (FFIEC 031) remain on the FR Y–9C because no distinction is made for reporting of HCs with foreign offices versus those without foreign offices. PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Legal authorization and confidentiality: The FR Y–9 family of reports is authorized by section 5(c) of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C. 1844(c)), section 10 of HOLA (12 U.S.C. 1467a(b)), sections 165 and 618 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (12 U.S.C. 1850a(c)(1) and 5365), and section 252.153(b)(2) of Regulation YY (12 CFR 252.153(b)(2)). These reports are 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 be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Effective Date: March 31, 2018. 2.

General description of report: The FR 2886b reporting form is filed quarterly and annually by banking Edge and agreement corporations and investment (nonbanking) Edge and agreement corporations (collectively, ‘‘Edges or Edge corporations’’). The mandatory FR 2886b comprises an income statement with two schedules reconciling changes in capital and reserve accounts and a balance sheet with 11 supporting schedules. Other than examination reports, it provides the only financial data available for these corporations. The Federal Reserve is solely responsible for authorizing, supervising, and assigning ratings to Edges. The Federal Reserve uses the data collected on the FR 2886b to identify present and potential problems and monitor and develop a better understanding of activities within the industry. Proposed revisions: The Federal Reserve proposes to revise the report form and instructions 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 in the reporting instructions, and replace report form captions and instructions referencing ‘‘Loans net of unearned income’’ with ‘‘Loans held for investment.’’ These changes would be effective for reports reflecting the March 31, 2018, report date.

The obligation to report this information is mandatory. The information collected on the FR 2886b is generally not considered confidential, but certain data may be exempt from disclosure pursuant to exemption (b)(4) and (b)(7)(C) of the Freedom of Information Act, (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (b)(7)(C)). The information exempt from disclosure pursuant to (b)(4) consists of information provided on Schedule RC–M (with the exception for item 3) and on Schedule RC–V, both of which pertain to claims on and liabilities to related organizations. The information exempt from disclosure pursuant to exemption (b)(7)(C) is information provided in the Patriot Act Contact Information section of the reporting form. PO 00000 Frm 00030 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2987 Current actions: On July 18, 2017, the Board published a notice in the Federal Register (82 FR 32812) requesting public comment for 60 days on the proposal to extend with revision the FR Y–9C, FR Y–9LP, FR Y–7N, and FR 2886b; and to extend without revision the FR Y–9ES, FR Y–9CS, FR Y–7NS, and FR Y–7Q. The comment period expired on September 18, 2017. The Board received one comment from a banking association that, while expressing support for the FR Y–9C proposed changes, urged the Board to have the FR Y–9C revisions incorporated into the March 31, 2018, report date (rather than the September 30, 2017, report date) to harmonize the proposed changes with the proposed changes to the Call Reports. The Board has approved, pursuant to authority delegated by the OMB, the collections of information as proposed and amended (as discussed below). Detailed Discussion of Public Comments: In response to the commenter’s suggestion, the Board amended the proposal on September 11, 2017 (82 FR 43367), to make the proposed changes to the FR Y–9C family of reports, the FR Y–7N family of reports, and the FR 2886b report effective with the reports reflecting the March 31, 2018, report date. This effective date should give institutions ample time to prepare for the revisions and would minimize burden by allowing institutions to prepare their systems once for these changes and any future burden-reducing changes targeted for that report date. The comment period for the proposal expired on September 18, 2017. The Board did not receive any additional comments. The revisions will be implemented as proposed and amended on September 11, 2017.

Final Approval Under OMB Delegated Authority of the Extension for Three 
Years, With Revision, of the Following Reports

    1. Report title: Consolidated Financial Statements for Holding 
Companies, Parent Company Only Financial Statements for Large Holding

Y-9CS.
    OMB control number: 7100-0128.
    Frequency: Quarterly and semiannually.
    Reporters: Bank holding companies, savings and loan holding 
companies, securities holding companies, and U.S. Intermediate Holding 
Companies (collectively, holding companies (HCs)).
    Estimated annual reporting hours: FR Y-9C (non advanced approaches 
HCs): 123,636 hours; FR Y-9C (advanced approached HCs): 3,628 hours; FR 
Y-9LP: 16,400 hours; FR Y-9SP: 42,811; FR Y-9ES: 42 hours; FR Y-9CS:

    General description of report: Pursuant to the Bank Holding Company

(HOLA), the Federal Reserve requires HCs to provide standardized 
financial statements to fulfill the Federal Reserve's statutory 
obligation to supervise these organizations. HCs file the FRY-9C and FR 
Y-9LP quarterly, the FR Y-9SP semiannually, the FR Y-9ES annually, and 
the FR Y-9CS on a schedule that is determined when this supplement is

    Proposed revisions: The Federal Reserve is implementing a number of

consistent with recent changes to the Federal Financial Institutions 
Examination Council (FFIEC) Consolidated Reports of Condition and 
Income (Call Reports) (FFIEC 031 & 041; OMB No. 7100-0036).\1\ 
Additionally, the Federal Reserve will eliminate the concept of 
extraordinary items on various reports, add one new item to the FR Y-
9SP report, and revise the instructions to clarify the reporting of 
certain tax benefits on various reports. These changes would be 
effective for reports reflecting the March 31, 2018, report date. The 
changes include:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The reporting changes to the FFIEC 031 and FFIEC 041 became 
effective March 31, 2017. See 82 Fed. Reg. 2444 (January 9, 2017). 
Certain data items deleted on the FFIEC 031 and FFIEC 041 do not 
correspond to any FR Y-9C data items. Also, certain data items that 
were deleted from the FFIEC 041 report because the data is 
predominantly reported by banks with foreign offices (FFIEC 031) 
remain on the FR Y-9C because no distinction is made for reporting 
of HCs with foreign offices versus those without foreign offices.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Deleting existing data items from Schedule HI-B, Part I, 
Charge-Offs and Recoveries on Loans and Leases and Changes in Allowance 
for Loans and Lease Losses, of the FR Y-9C report that pertain to 
charge-offs and recoveries on loans to U.S banks and foreign banks.
     Deleting existing data items from Schedule HC-M, 
Memoranda, and Schedule HC-N, Past Due and Nonaccrual Loans, and Leases 
and Other Assets of the FR Y-9C that pertain to certain loans covered 
by loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC.
     Increasing one reporting threshold and adding one new

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 Date: March 31, 2018.
    Legal authorization and confidentiality: 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. 
Information disclosed in these reports is collected as part of the 
Board's supervisory process and may be accorded confidential treatment 
under exemption 8 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 
552(b)(8)), but information that is required to be disclosed publicly 
is generally not considered confidential. However, individual 
respondents may request that certain data be protected pursuant to 
Exemptions 4 and 6 (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (6)) of FOIA, where such 
data relates to trade secrets and financial information, or to personal 
information, respectively. The applicability of these exemptions would 
have to be determined on a case-by-case basis.

    General description of report: The FR 2886b reporting form is filed 
quarterly and annually by banking Edge and agreement corporations and 
investment (nonbanking) Edge and agreement corporations (collectively, 
``Edges or Edge corporations''). The mandatory FR 2886b comprises an 
income statement with two schedules reconciling changes in capital and 
reserve accounts and a balance sheet with 11 supporting schedules. 
Other than examination reports, it provides the only financial data 
available for these corporations. The Federal Reserve is solely 
responsible for authorizing, supervising, and assigning ratings to 
Edges. The Federal Reserve uses the data collected on the FR 2886b to 
identify present and potential problems and monitor and develop a 
better understanding of activities within the industry.
    Proposed revisions: The Federal Reserve proposes to revise the 
report form and instructions 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 in the 
reporting instructions, and replace report form captions and 
instructions referencing ``Loans net of unearned income'' with ``Loans 
held for investment.'' These changes would be effective for reports 
reflecting the March 31, 2018, report date.
    Effective Date: March 31, 2018.
    Legal authorization and confidentiality: Sections 25 and 25A of the 
Federal Reserve Act authorize the Federal Reserve to collect the FR 
2886b (12 U.S.C. 602, 625). The obligation to report this information 
is mandatory. The information collected on the FR 2886b is generally 
not considered confidential, but certain data may be exempt from 
disclosure pursuant to exemption (b)(4) and (b)(7)(C) of the Freedom of 
Information Act, (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (b)(7)(C)). The information 
exempt from disclosure pursuant to (b)(4) consists of information 
provided on Schedule RC-M (with the exception for item 3) and on 
Schedule RC-V, both of which pertain to claims on and liabilities to 
related organizations. The information exempt from disclosure pursuant 
to exemption (b)(7)(C) is information provided in the Patriot Act 
Contact Information section of the reporting form.
    Current actions: On July 18, 2017, the Board published a notice in 
the Federal Register (82 FR 32812) requesting public comment for 60 
days on the proposal to extend with revision the FR Y-9C, FR Y-9LP, FR 
Y-7N, and FR 2886b; and to extend without revision the FR Y-9ES, FR Y-
9CS, FR Y-7NS, and FR Y-7Q. The comment period expired on September 18, 
2017. The Board received one comment from a banking association that, 
while expressing support for the FR Y-9C proposed changes, urged the 
Board to have the FR Y-9C revisions incorporated into the March 31, 
2018, report date (rather than the September 30, 2017, report date) to 
harmonize the proposed changes with the proposed changes to the Call 
Reports. The Board has approved, pursuant to authority delegated by the 
OMB, the collections of information as proposed and amended (as 
discussed below).
    Detailed Discussion of Public Comments: In response to the 
commenter's suggestion, the Board amended the proposal on September 11, 
2017 (82 FR 43367), to make the proposed changes to the FR Y-9C family 
of reports, the FR Y-7N family of reports, and the FR 2886b report 
effective with the reports reflecting the March 31, 2018, report date. 
This effective date should give institutions ample time to prepare for 
the revisions and would minimize burden by allowing institutions to 
prepare their systems once for these changes and any future burden-
reducing changes targeted for that report date. The comment period for 
the proposal expired on September 18, 2017. The Board did not receive 
any additional comments. The revisions will be implemented as proposed 
and amended on September 11, 2017.

    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, January 17, 
2018.
Ann E. Misback,
Secretary of the Board.
