published jointly by the Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the

    Proposed revisions: The Board is proposing to revise the FR 4198 to

5(c) of the Bank Holding Company Act \3\ (for bank holding companies);

holding companies); and section 7(c)(2) of the International Banking 
Act \5\ (state-licensed branches and agencies of foreign banks, other

    Because these records would be maintained at each banking 
organization, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) would only be 
implicated if the Board obtained such records as part of the 
examination or supervision of a banking organization. In the event the 
records are obtained by the Board as part of an examination or 
supervision of a financial institution, this information may be 
considered confidential pursuant to exemption 8 of the FOIA, which 
protects information contained in ``examination, operating, or 
condition reports'' obtained in the bank supervisory process (5 U.S.C. 
552(b)(8)). In addition, the information may also be kept confidential 
under exemption 4 for the FOIA, which protects ``commercial or 
financial information obtained from a person [that is] privileged or
