Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 41 / Monday, March 2, 2020 / Notices
information collection to account for
this disclosure provision.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: The information
collections contained within the Policy
Statement, as well as the self-assessment
reporting template, are authorized by
section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Act,2
which requires the Board’s OMWI
director to develop standards for
assessing regulated entities’ diversity
policies and practices. The information
collections associated with the Policy
Statement are voluntary, as is the use of
the self-assessment reporting template.
The Transparency Standard, and a
portion of the Self-Assessment
Standard, call for regulated entities to
provide information to the public, so
confidentiality is not an issue with
respect to those aspects of the Policy
Statement. A regulated entity may
provide self-assessment material to the
Board (including through use of the
reporting template) containing
confidential commercial information
that is protectable under exemption 4 of
the Freedom of Information Act.3 If a
regulated entity submits confidential
commercial information that is both
customarily and actually treated as
private by the entity, the entity should
separately designate such information as
‘‘confidential commercial information,’’
as appropriate, and the Board will treat
such designated information as
confidential to the extent permitted by
law, including the Freedom of
Information Act.4 As noted in the Policy
Statement, an entity’s primary federal
regulator may share information
obtained from regulated entities with
other Agencies, but the Agencies will
only publish information disclosed to
them in a form that does not identify a
particular entity or individual or
disclose confidential business
information.
Consultation outside the agency: The
Agencies worked together to develop
standards for assessing the diversity
policies and practices of their regulated
entities. The Board will continue to
reach out to the regulated entities and
other interested parties to discuss
diversity and inclusion in the financial
services industry and share leading
practices. The primary federal financial
regulator will share information with
other agencies, when appropriate, to
support coordination of efforts and to
avoid duplication.
