In addition, upon assuming the chairmanship of the FFIEC earlier this year, the Bureau’s Director identified as a priority the issue of data transfer from financial institutions to regulators, and is working with the other FFIEC agencies to identify opportunities for improvement and burden reduction. To guide its efforts to facilitate innovation, the Bureau seeks to strengthen its open collaboration with stakeholders in order to work together in developing solutions to shared problems. It looks to foster an approach that inquires how technology might reshape compliance, speed effective interaction between regulators and financial institutions, and decrease cost and administrative burden. Tech Sprints The Bureau is exploring Tech Sprints as a model for collaborative innovation. Used successfully by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom, Tech Sprints gather regulators, technologists, financial institutions, and subject matter experts from key stakeholders for several days to work together to develop innovative solutions to clearly-identified challenges. Small teams include participants from both the regulator and a diversity of entities to ensure the inclusion of regulatory, industry, and technology perspectives. The regulator assigns a specific regulatory compliance or market problem to each team and challenges the teams to solve or mitigate the problem using modern technologies and approaches. The teams then work for several days to produce actionable ideas, write computer code, and present their solutions. On the final day, each team presents to an independent panel of judges that selects winners. The most promising ideas can then be further developed either in collaboration with the regulator or by external parties. The FCA has organized seven Tech Sprints since 2016 and has started a pilot project on digital regulatory reporting built on ideas developed in a Tech Sprint. In the United States, Tech Sprints have been used in a variety of ways, including by the U.S. Census Bureau (Census Bureau) and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). At the Census Bureau, The Opportunity Project (TOP) matched tech companies, universities, government and communities together to translate U.S. government open data into useful digital products over the course of a 12-week sprint. At the end of the sprint, products launched and often moved on to full development as VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:01 Sep 17, 2019 Jkt 247001 tools for the public. HHS, along with Presidential Innovation Fellows, organized health Tech Sprints known as TOP Health focused on healthcarerelated challenges that used artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning techniques with Federal data. Call for Ideas The Bureau seeks ideas on how it can use Tech Sprints to advance regulatory innovation and compliance. Specifically, the Bureau is interested in using Tech Sprints: • To leverage cloud solutions, machine automated compliance checks that allow for independent validation by regulators, and other developments that may reduce or modify the need for regulated entities to transfer data to the Bureau. • To continue to innovate HMDA data submission, processing, and publication to help ease burden, increase flexibility, and resolve compliance challenges, while satisfying all legal requirements. • To identify new technologies and approaches that can be used by the Bureau to provide more cost-effective oversight of supervised entities, effective evaluation of compliance and risk, and closer interface with financial industry systems and technology that may include the use, for example, of analytical tools in the review of mortgage origination data. • To explore other technological approaches to robust and secure data access or exchange between regulated entities and the Bureau. • To reduce unwarranted regulatory compliance burdens. The information provided will help the Bureau identify how stakeholders can work together to create a regulatory environment (1) which allows innovation to flourish, is flexible, efficient and effective; (2) where new and/or emerging risks can be identified and managed effectively; and (3) where consumers have the appropriate level of protection and suitable access to the benefits of technological advancement. The Bureau is seeking to collaborate with stakeholders in developing solutions to regulatory compliance challenges, and is not seeking to endorse a particular product or service. In particular, the Bureau asks commenters to respond to the following questions: • What regulatory compliance issues, problems, procedures, or requirements could benefit from innovation through a Bureau Tech Sprint? • What financial technology or other advances hold the most promise for PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 helping modernize regulatory compliance? • What other suggestions do you have for how the Bureau could plan, organize, and conduct a Tech Sprint, including its participants, duration, and location? • Other than organizing Tech Sprints, what else might the Bureau do to encourage innovation in financial products and services? For example, could advances be encouraged by changes to certain Bureau rules or policies? • Are there any concerns that might discourage participation in Tech Sprints that the Bureau could address?
