II. Background
A. Letter Peer Review
Section 6(h) of the Toxics Substances
Control Act (TSCA) directs EPA to issue
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:28 May 24, 2018
Jkt 241001
regulations under 6(a) for certain
Persistent Bioaccumulative and Toxic
(PBT) chemical substances that were
identified in EPA’s TSCA Work Plan for
Chemical Assessments: 2014 update.
The chemicals that were ranked high or
moderate for either persistence and
bioaccumulation, are present on the
TSCA 2014 workplan chemical list that
are not metals, that do not have problem
formulation completed, do not have a
review under section 5, and do not have
a consent agreement under section 4 are
the following five chemicals:
Decabromodiphenyl ethers (DECA);
Hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD);
Pentachlorothiophenol (PCTP); Phenol,
isopropylated, phosphate (3:1) (PIP3/
ITPP); and 2,4,6-Tris(tert-butyl) phenol
(2, 4, 6 TRIS).
No risk evaluation is required for
these PBT chemicals. EPA has drafted
an Exposure and Use Assessment and a
Human Health and Environmental
Hazard Summary, in response to the
TSCA section 6(h) requirements to
summarize conclusions of toxicity and
whether there is likely exposure to these
PBT chemicals. These documents
contain the following components:
• Chemistry, physical-chemical
properties and expected transport and
partitioning.
• Characterization of manufacture
(including import), processing, uses and
potential sources of exposure.
• Summary of available monitoring
data, concentrations and doses.
• Characterization of trends in
releases/exposures over time.
• Summary of environmental hazard
(written and tabular summaries).
• Summary of human health hazard
(written and tabular summaries).
• Strategy for identifying
environmental hazard summary
information.
• Strategy for identifying human
health summary information.
• Supplemental Files that identify
how environmental information was
searched, screened, and evaluated.
B. Public Preparatory Meeting
The Agency has organized letter peer
reviews for the Exposure and Use
Assessment and the Human Health and
Environmental Hazard Summary. The
June 25, 2018 preparatory meeting will
be held by teleconference and webcast
only. During the preparatory meeting,
the individual letter peer reviewers will
have the opportunity to comment on
and ask questions regarding the scope
and clarity of the draft charge questions.
Subsequent to this preparatory meeting,
final charge questions will be provided
for use as the letter peer reviewers
complete their individual reviews.

General Description of Collection:
There has been no change in the method
or substance of this information
collection. The number of institutions
subject to the record keeping
requirements has decreased from eight
(8) to two (2). In 2008 the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency, the Board

37, 41, 43, and 46 of the guidance
include possible information
collections. Section 37 provides that
banks should state clearly the definition
of capital used in any aspect of its
internal capital adequacy assessment
process (ICAAP) and document any
changes in the internal definition of
capital. Section 41 provides that banks
should maintain thorough
documentation of its ICAAP. Section 43
specifies that the board of directors
should approve the bank’s ICAAP,
review it on a regular basis and approve
any changes. Section 46 recommends
that boards of directors periodically
review the assessment of overall capital
adequacy and analyze how measures of
internal capital adequacy compare with
other capital measures such as
regulatory or accounting.

There has been no change in the
method or substance of this information
collection. The above burden estimate is
derived from FDIC’s estimate that there
are currently approximately 1,400
annual offerings subject to the Credit
Risk Retention rule (12 CFR part 373).
The methodology used to estimate
burden is fully detailed in the FDIC’s
supporting statement for this
information collection (3064–0183)
available at https://www.reginfo.gov/
public/do/PRAViewDocument?ref_
nbr=201501-3064-002.
General Description of Collection:
This information collection request
relates to the disclosure and
recordkeeping requirements of 12 CFR
part 373 (the Credit Risk Retention Rule)
which implements section 15G of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934,2 added
by section 941 of the Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act 3 (Section 941). The Credit Risk
Retention Rule was jointly issued by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(‘‘FDIC’’), the Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency (‘‘OCC’’), the Federal
Reserve Board (‘‘Board’’), the Securities
and Exchange Commission
(‘‘Commission’’) and, with respect to the
portions of the Rule addressing the
securitization of residential mortgages,
the Federal Housing Finance Agency
(‘‘FHFA’’) and the Department of
Housing and Urban Development
(‘‘HUD’’).

VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:28 May 24, 2018
Jkt 241001
Section 941 requires the Board, the
FDIC, the OCC (collectively, the
‘‘Federal banking agencies’’), the
Commission and, in the case of the
securitization of any ‘‘residential
mortgage asset,’’ together with HUD and
FHFA, to jointly prescribe regulations
that (i) require a securitizer to retain not
less than five percent of the credit risk
of any asset that the securitizer, through
the issuance of an asset-backed security
(‘‘ABS’’), transfers, sells or conveys to a
third party, and (ii) prohibit a
securitizer from directly or indirectly
hedging or otherwise transferring the
credit risk that the securitizer is
required to retain under section 941 and
the agencies’ implementing rules.
The Credit Risk Retention Rule
provides a menu of credit risk retention
options from which securitizers can
choose and sets out the standards,
including disclosure and recordkeeping
requirements, for each option; identifies
the eligibility criteria, including
certification and disclosure
requirements, that must be met for assetbacked securities (ABS) offerings to
qualify for certain exemptions; specifies
the underwriting standards for
commercial real estate (CRE) loans,
commercial loans and automobile loans,
as well as disclosure, certification and
recordkeeping requirements, that must
be met for ABS issuances collateralized
by such loans to qualify for reduced
credit risk retention; and sets forth the
circumstances under which retention
obligations may be allocated by
sponsors to originators, including
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
disclosure and monitoring
requirements. The recordkeeping
requirements relate primarily to (i) the
adoption and maintenance of various
policies and procedures to ensure and
monitor compliance with regulatory
requirements and (ii) certifications,
including as to the effectiveness of
internal supervisory controls. The
required disclosures for each risk
retention option are intended to provide
investors with material information
concerning the sponsor’s retained
interest in a securitization transaction
(e.g., the amount, form and nature of the
retained interest, material assumptions
and methodology, representations and
warranties). The agencies believe that
the disclosure and recordkeeping
requirements will enhance market
discipline, help ensure the quality of the
assets underlying a securitization, and
assist investors in evaluating
transactions.
3. Title: Disclosure Requirements

Leverage Ratio.
OMB Number: 3064–0196.

There has been no change in the
method or substance of this information
collection. The number of institutions
subject to the disclosure requirements
has decreased from eight (8) to two (2).
General Description of Collection: The
supplementary leverage ratio
regulations strengthen the definition of
total leverage exposure and improve the
measure of a banking organization’s onand off-balance sheet exposures. The
rules are generally consistent with the
Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision’s 2014 revisions and
promote consistency in the calculation
of this ratio across jurisdictions. All
banking organizations that are subject to
the advanced approaches risk-based
capital rules 4 are required to disclose
their supplementary leverage ratios.5
Advanced approaches banking
organizations must report their
supplementary leverage ratios on the
applicable regulatory reports. The
calculation and disclosure requirements
for the supplementary leverage ratio in
the federal banking agencies’ regulatory
capital rules are generally consistent
with international standards published
by the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision. These disclosures enhance
the transparency and consistency of
reporting requirements for the
supplementary leverage ratio by all
internationally active organizations.

General Description of Collection: There has been no change in the
method or substance of this information collection. The number of
institutions subject to the record keeping requirements has decreased
from eight (8) to two (2). In 2008 the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the
FDIC issued a supervisory guidance document related to the supervisory
review process of capital adequacy (Pillar 2) in connection with the
implementation of the Basel II Advanced Capital Framework.\1\ Sections
37, 41, 43, and 46 of the guidance include possible information
collections. Section 37 provides that banks should state clearly the
definition of capital used in any aspect of its internal capital
adequacy assessment process (ICAAP) and document any changes in the
internal definition of capital. Section 41 provides that banks should
maintain thorough documentation of its ICAAP. Section 43 specifies that
the board of directors should approve the bank's ICAAP, review it on a
regular basis and approve any changes. Section 46 recommends that
boards of directors periodically review the assessment of overall
capital adequacy and analyze how measures of internal capital adequacy
compare with other capital measures such as regulatory or accounting.

There has been no change in the method or substance of this
information collection. The above burden estimate is derived from
FDIC's estimate that there are currently approximately 1,400 annual
offerings subject to the Credit Risk Retention rule (12 CFR part 373).
The methodology used to estimate burden is fully detailed in the FDIC's
supporting statement for this information collection (3064-0183)
available at https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAViewDocument?ref_nbr=201501-3064-002.
General Description of Collection: This information collection
request relates to the disclosure and recordkeeping requirements of 12
CFR part 373 (the Credit Risk Retention Rule) which implements section
15G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,\2\ added by section 941 of
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act \3\
(Section 941). The Credit Risk Retention Rule was jointly issued by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (``FDIC''), the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency (``OCC''), the Federal Reserve Board
(``Board''), the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'')
and, with respect to the portions of the Rule addressing the
securitization of residential mortgages, the Federal Housing Finance
Agency (``FHFA'') and the Department of Housing and Urban Development
(``HUD'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-11.
\3\ Public Law 111-2-3, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 941 requires the Board, the FDIC, the OCC (collectively,
the ``Federal banking agencies''), the Commission and, in the case of
the securitization of any ``residential mortgage asset,'' together with
HUD and FHFA, to jointly prescribe regulations that (i) require a
securitizer to retain not less than five percent of the credit risk of
any asset that the securitizer, through the issuance of an asset-backed
security (``ABS''), transfers, sells or conveys to a third party, and
(ii) prohibit a securitizer from directly or indirectly hedging or
otherwise transferring the credit risk that the securitizer is required
to retain under section 941 and the agencies' implementing rules.
The Credit Risk Retention Rule provides a menu of credit risk
retention options from which securitizers can choose and sets out the
standards, including disclosure and recordkeeping requirements, for
each option; identifies the eligibility criteria, including
certification and disclosure requirements, that must be met for asset-
backed securities (ABS) offerings to qualify for certain exemptions;
specifies the underwriting standards for commercial real estate (CRE)
loans, commercial loans and automobile loans, as well as disclosure,
certification and recordkeeping requirements, that must be met for ABS
issuances collateralized by such loans to qualify for reduced credit
risk retention; and sets forth the circumstances under which retention
obligations may be allocated by sponsors to originators, including
disclosure and monitoring requirements. The recordkeeping requirements
relate primarily to (i) the adoption and maintenance of various
policies and procedures to ensure and monitor compliance with
regulatory requirements and (ii) certifications, including as to the
effectiveness of internal supervisory controls. The required
disclosures for each risk retention option are intended to provide
investors with material information concerning the sponsor's retained
interest in a securitization transaction (e.g., the amount, form and
nature of the retained interest, material assumptions and methodology,
representations and warranties). The agencies believe that the
disclosure and recordkeeping requirements will enhance market
discipline, help ensure the quality of the assets underlying a
securitization, and assist investors in evaluating transactions.
3. Title: Disclosure Requirements Associated with the Supplementary
Leverage Ratio.
OMB Number: 3064-0196.
Form Number: None.
Affected Public: Insured state nonmember banks and state savings
associations that are subject to the FDIC's advanced approaches risk-
based capital rules.

There has been no change in the method or substance of this
information collection. The number of institutions subject to the
disclosure requirements has decreased from eight (8) to two (2).
General Description of Collection: The supplementary leverage ratio
regulations strengthen the definition of total leverage exposure and
improve the measure of a banking organization's on- and off-balance
sheet exposures. The rules are generally consistent with the Basel
Committee on Banking Supervision's 2014 revisions and promote
consistency in the calculation of this ratio across jurisdictions. All
banking organizations that are subject to the advanced approaches risk-
based capital rules \4\ are required to disclose their supplementary
leverage ratios.\5\ Advanced approaches banking organizations must
report their supplementary leverage ratios on the applicable regulatory
reports. The calculation and disclosure requirements for the
supplementary leverage ratio in the federal banking agencies'
regulatory capital rules are generally consistent with international
standards published by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
These disclosures enhance the transparency and consistency of reporting
requirements for the supplementary leverage ratio by all
internationally active organizations.
