Download as PDF amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 238 / Wednesday, December 12, 2018 / Notices The FR 1400 is authorized pursuant to sections 10 and 11 of the Federal Reserve Act (‘‘FRA’’), and section 342(c) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (‘‘DoddFrank’’). Sections 10(3) and 11 of the FRA (12 U.S.C. 243 and 248(l)) grant the Board full authority to manage its buildings and its staff. Section 10(4) of the FRA (12 U.S.C. 244) authorizes the Board to determine and prescribe the manner in which its obligations shall be incurred and its disbursements and expenses allowed and paid. Therefore, the Board can solicit proposals and seek the information in FR 1400 from prospective vendors. Additionally, the FR 1400 is authorized by section 342(c) of DoddFrank (12 U.S.C. 5452(c)), which requires the Board to develop and implement standards and procedures for the review and evaluation of contract proposals and for hiring service providers that include a component that gives consideration to the diversity of a prospective vendor and the fair inclusion of women and minorities in the workforce of such vendor and any subcontractor. A vendor generally may request confidential treatment for information submitted during the solicitation process, and the Board will review the request to determine if the data may be kept confidential under exemption 4 of the Freedom of Information Act, which protects from disclosure trade secrets and commercial or financial information (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)). Current actions: On September 28, 2018, the Board published a notice in the Federal Register (83 FR 49092) requesting public comment for 60 days on the extension, with revision, of the Procurement Solicitation Package. To better assist the Board’s competitive vendor solicitation process, the Board has revised the FR 1400 by (1) reformatting and updating the Solicitation Package, including the Solicitation, Offer, and Award Form (SOA), Supplier Information Form, Past Performance Data Sheet, and Past Performance Questionnaire (FR 1400B); (2) adding the Vendor Risk Management Offeror Questionnaire (FR 1400C); and (3) revising the Subcontracting Report (FR 1400D) to improve clarity and gather specific information in accordance with the Board’s subcontracting goals. Lastly, the Board has discontinued the use of the Request VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:39 Dec 11, 2018 Jkt 247001 for Price Quotation Form (RFP/RFPQ). The purpose of the RFPQ form was absorbed into the FR 1400B. The comment period for this notice expired on November 27, 2018. The Board did not receive any comments. The revisions will be implemented as proposed. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, December 6, 2018. Michele Taylor Fennell, Assistant Secretary of the Board.

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 SUMMARY: 1 See PO 00000 12 CFR 217.402, 217.404. Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 63887 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 1.1993, which was the daily euro to U.S. dollar spot rate on December 29, 2017, as published by the European Central Bank (available at https://www.ecb. europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/ index.en.html). The aggregate global indicator amounts for purposes of the 2018 Method 1 score calculation under § 217.404(b)(1)(i)(B) of the GSIB surcharge rule are: 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.

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 2018, 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 12, 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, 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 1.1993, which was the daily euro to U.S. dollar spot rate on 
December 29, 2017, as published by the European Central Bank (available 
at https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/index.en.html).

surcharge rule are:
