Agency form number: FR 4008. OMB control number: 7100–0131. Frequency: Event-generated. Respondents: Bank holding companies. Estimated number of respondents: 8. Estimated average hours per response: 15.5 hours. Estimated annual burden hours: 124 hours. General description of report: The Bank Holding Company Act (BHC Act) and Board’s Regulation Y require a bank holding company (BHC) to seek the prior approval of the Board before purchasing or redeeming its equity securities in certain circumstances. Due to the limited information that a BHC must provide in connection with any such request, there is no required reporting form (the FR 4008 designation is for internal purposes only), and each request for prior approval must be filed as a notification with the Reserve Bank that has direct supervisory responsibility for the requesting BHC. The Federal Reserve uses the information provided in the redemption notice to supervise BHCs. Legal authorization and confidentiality: The FR 4008 is authorized pursuant to sections 5(b) and (c) of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C. 1844(b) and (c)). Section 5(b) of the BHC Act, as amended by section 616 of the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act),1 generally authorizes the Board to, among other things, issue capital regulations that are necessary to administer and carry out the purposes of the BHC Act and prevent evasions thereof. Section 5(c) of the BHC Act generally authorizes the Board to, among other things, require reports from BHCs on a range of issues. The FR 4008 is required for some BHCs to obtain the benefit of being able to purchase or redeem their equity securities. Individual respondents may request that data submitted be kept confidential on a case-by-case basis. If a respondent requests confidential treatment, the Board will determine whether the information is entitled to confidential treatment on an ad hoc basis. Requests may include information related to the BHC’s business operations, such as 1 Public PO 00000 Law 111–203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010). Frm 00030 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 terms and sources of the funding for the redemption and pro forma balance sheets. This information may be kept confidential under exemption 4 of the Freedom of Information Act, which protects privileged or confidential commercial or financial information.2 Current actions: On June 17, 2019, the Board published a notice in the Federal Register (84 FR 28047) requesting public comment for 60 days on the extension, without revision, of the FR 4008. The comment period for this notice expired on August 16, 2019. The Board did not receive any comments. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, September 23, 2019.
