committees and individuals responsible
for the ICAAP; the frequency and
distribution of ICAAP-related reporting;
and the procedures for the periodic
evaluation of the appropriateness and
adequacy of the ICAAP. In addition,
where applicable, ICAAP
documentation should demonstrate the
banking organization’s sound use of
quantitative methods (including model
selection and limitations) and dataselection techniques, as well as
appropriate maintenance, controls, and
validation. A banking organization
should document and explain the role
of third-party and vendor products,
services, and information—including
methodologies, model inputs, systems,
data, and ratings—and the extent to
which they are used within the ICAAP.
A banking organization should have a
process to regularly evaluate the
performance of third-party and vendor
products, services, and information. As
part of the ICAAP documentation, a
banking organization should document
the assumptions, methods, data,
information, and judgment used in its
quantitative and qualitative approaches.
Paragraph 43. The board of directors
and senior management have certain
responsibilities in developing,
implementing, and overseeing the
ICAAP. The board should approve the
ICAAP and its components. The board
or its appropriately delegated agent
should review the ICAAP and its
components on a regular basis and
approve any revisions. That review
should encompass the effectiveness of
the ICAAP, the appropriateness of risk
tolerance levels and capital planning,
and the strength of control
infrastructures. Senior management
should continually ensure that the
ICAAP is functioning effectively and as
intended, under a formal review policy
that is explicit and well documented.
Additionally, a banking organization’s
internal audit function should play a
key role in reviewing the controls and
governance surrounding the ICAAP on
an ongoing basis.
Paragraph 46. As part of the ICAAP,
the board or its delegated agent, as well
as appropriate senior management,
should periodically review the resulting
assessment of overall capital adequacy.
This review, which should occur at least
annually, should include an analysis of
how measures of internal capital
adequacy compare with other capital
measures (such as regulatory,
accounting-based or marketdetermined). Upon completion of this
review, the board or its delegated agent
should determine that, consistent with
safety and soundness, the banking
organization’s capital takes into account

all material risks and is appropriate for
its risk profile. However, in the event a
capital deficiency is uncovered (that is,
if capital is not consistent with the
banking organization’s risk profile or
risk tolerance) management should
consult and adhere to formal procedures
to correct the capital deficiency.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: The collection of
information is authorized pursuant to
the International Lending Supervision
Act (12 U.S.C. 3907(a)(1) and (b)(3)),
section 1831o of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1831o), section
5 of the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956 (12 U.S.C. 1844), section 10(b)(2)
of the Homeowners’ Loan Act (12 U.S.C.
1467a(b)), and section 171 of the DoddFrank Act (12 U.S.C. 5371). The FR 4199
is voluntary.
Because the collections of information
associated with the FR 4199 do not
involve the submission of information
to the Board, no issues of confidentiality
would normally arise. To the extent that
the Board collects information kept by
a banking organization as a record
during an examination of the banking
organization, confidential treatment
may be afforded to the records under
exemption 8 of the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(8)), which protects information
collected as part of the Board’s
supervisory process. Additionally,
individual respondents may request that
certain information be afforded
confidential treatment pursuant to
exemption 4 of FOIA (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4)) if the information has not
previously been publicly disclosed and
the release of the data would likely
cause substantial harm to the
competitive position of the respondent.
Current actions: On October 22, 2018,
the Board published a notice in the
Federal Register (83 FR 53248)
requesting public comment for 60 days
on the extension, without revision, of
the FR 4199. The comment period for
this notice expired on December 21,
2018. The Board did not receive any
comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: COPPA Rule, 16 CFR part 312.
OMB Control Number: 3084–0117.
Type of Review: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Pursuant to the OMB
regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, that
implement the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq., the FTC is providing a second
opportunity for public comment while
seeking OMB approval to renew the preexisting clearance for the Rule. The
COPPA Rule, 16 CFR part 312, requires
commercial websites to provide notice
and obtain parents’ consent before

collecting, using, and/or disclosing
personal information from children
under age 13, with limited exceptions.
The COPPA Rule contains certain
statutorily required notice requirements
that apply to operators of any website or
online service directed to children and
operators of any website or online
service with actual knowledge of
collecting personal information from
children. Covered operators must:
Provide online notice and direct notice
to parents of how they collect, use, and
disclose children’s personal
information; obtain the prior consent of
the child’s parent in order to engage in
such collection, use, and disclosure,
with limited exceptions; provide
reasonable means for the parent to
obtain access to the information and to
direct its deletion; and, establish
procedures that protect the
confidentiality, security, and integrity of
personal information collected from
children.
On October 2, 2018, the FTC sought
its initial public comment on the
information collection requirements
associated with the Rule.1 Two
commenters provided suggestions
regarding the Rule’s substantive
requirements for covered operators. The
Commission periodically reviews the
Rule to ensure that it effectively protects
children’s online privacy, as directed by
Congress, as new online technologies
evolve, and to clarify existing
obligations for operators under the Rule.
For example, the Commission
substantively revised the Rule in 2013.2
The Commission will take these two
comments under advisement in
evaluating the Rule’s continued
effectiveness. The other comments were
non-germane.
The associated burden estimates in
the statement below concern strictly
recurring compliance obligations under
the COPPA Rule.

provide reasonable cause justifications
as to why a penalty should not be
imposed or may develop and implement
corrective compliance procedures to
eliminate the source of the penalty.
Finally, there is an annual report, which
requires the Tribes to describe program

requirements are currently approved by
OMB and the Administration for
Children and Families is simply
proposing to extend them without any

115–123 requires state and tribal child
welfare agencies to collect and report to

receiving prevention and family services
and programs. States and tribes must
report:

and during the subsequent 12 month

It is anticipated that half or less of the
tribes and states will choose to provide
these prevention services in the first
years of the program availability, but
that number will increase over time.
The data collected will inform federal
policy decisions, program management,
and responses to Congressional and
Departmental inquiries. Specifically, the
data will provide information about the
use and availability of prevention
services to children to prevent the need
for foster care placement. The data will
contain personally identifiable
information (date of birth and race/
ethnicity).
Respondents: State and tribal child
welfare agencies.

the collection of public comments to consider and use in this
proceeding as appropriate. The Commission will consider all timely and
responsive public comments that it receives on or before March 6, 2019.
