Proposal Under OMB Delegated
Authority to Extend for Three Years,
With Revision, the Following
Information Collection:
Report title: Annual Daylight
Overdraft Capital Report for U.S.
Branches and Agencies of Foreign
Banks.
Agency form number: FR 2225.
OMB control number: 7100–0216.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondents: Foreign banking
organizations (FBOs).
Estimated number of respondents: 51.
Estimated average hours per response:
1.
Estimated annual burden hours: 51.
General description of report: The FR
2225 is required for FBOs that wish to
and are eligible to establish a non-zero
net debit cap for their U.S. branches and
agencies under the Federal Reserve
Policy on Payment System Risk (PSR
policy). The FR 2225 reporting form
collects information needed to identify
the respondent and its fiscal year-end,
and collects four items to determine its
year-end capital and assets for purposes
of daylight overdraft monitoring. The
four items, converted into U.S. dollars
collected for the capital and assets
determination are: Worldwide capital
for the reporting FBO (item 1); an
adjustment to avoid double counting of
capital used by any direct or indirect
subsidiary of the FBO that also has
access to Fedwire and has its own net
debit cap (item 2); the FBO’s total
E:\FR\FM\29JNN1.SGM
29JNN1
38897
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 125 / Monday, June 29, 2020 / Notices
daylight overdraft capital base for the
U.S. branch and agency family (item 3),
which is used to calculate the net debit
cap; and the reporting FBO’s total
worldwide assets (item 4). The Reserve
Banks use items 1 and 2 as
supplemental information to clarify the
data reported in item 3. Federal Reserve
staff use the assets data reported in item
4 for analytical purposes.
Proposed revisions: The Board
proposes to revise the instructions to
remove references to an FBO’s strength
of support assessment (SOSA) ranking
and its status as a financial holding
company (FHC). These changes are
related to the revisions to the PSR
policy, which the Board implemented
on April 1, 2019, and which will take
effect on October 1, 2020. The SOSA
ranking and FHC status are no longer
used for determining an FBO’s
eligibility for a positive net debit cap,
the size of its net debit cap, and its
eligibility to request a streamlined
procedure to obtain maximum daylight
overdraft capacity. In addition, the
Board proposes to revise the
confidentiality section of the
instructions to clarify how an FBO may
request its information be treated as
confidential, if the FBO believes the
information submitted on its FR 2225
report is exempt from disclosure under
the Freedom of Information Act, 5
U.S.C. 552(b). The Board also is
changing language in the FR 2225 to
clarify where the confidentiality
instructions can be found, and updating
the legal statutes listed on the face of the
FR 2225.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: This information
collection is authorized pursuant to
section 7(a) of the International Banking
Act, 12 U.S.C. 3105(a), which
establishes reserve requirements for U.S.
branches and agencies of foreign banks,
and pursuant to section 13(14) of the
Federal Reserve Act (FRA), 12 U.S.C.
347d, which provides that ‘‘each
Federal Reserve bank may receive
deposits from, discount paper endorsed
by, and make advances to any branch or
agency of a foreign bank in the same
manner and to the same extent that it
may exercise such powers with respect
to a member bank if such branch or
agency is maintaining reserves with
such Reserve bank pursuant to section
7 of the International Banking Act of
1978.’’ In addition, sections 11(i), 16,
and 19(f) of the FRA, 12 U.S.C. 248(i),
248–1, and 464, continue to provide
authority for the collection of the FR
2225. The obligation to respond is
required to obtain a benefit (i.e., this
information is required in order for an
FBO to establish a non-zero net debit
cap so that its U.S. branches or agencies
may be eligible for intraday credit).
Consultation outside the agency:
There has been no consultation outside
the Federal Reserve System.

Proposal Under OMB Delegated Authority to Extend for Three Years, With
Revision, the Following Information Collection:
Report title: Annual Daylight Overdraft Capital Report for U.S.
Branches and Agencies of Foreign Banks.
Agency form number: FR 2225.
OMB control number: 7100-0216.
Frequency: Annually.
Respondents: Foreign banking organizations (FBOs).
Estimated number of respondents: 51.
Estimated average hours per response: 1.
Estimated annual burden hours: 51.
General description of report: The FR 2225 is required for FBOs
that wish to and are eligible to establish a non-zero net debit cap for
their U.S. branches and agencies under the Federal Reserve Policy on
Payment System Risk (PSR policy). The FR 2225 reporting form collects
information needed to identify the respondent and its fiscal year-end,
and collects four items to determine its year-end capital and assets
for purposes of daylight overdraft monitoring. The four items,
converted into U.S. dollars collected for the capital and assets
determination are: Worldwide capital for the reporting FBO (item 1); an
adjustment to avoid double counting of capital used by any direct or
indirect subsidiary of the FBO that also has access to Fedwire and has
its own net debit cap (item 2); the FBO's total
[[Page 38897]]
daylight overdraft capital base for the U.S. branch and agency family
(item 3), which is used to calculate the net debit cap; and the
reporting FBO's total worldwide assets (item 4). The Reserve Banks use
items 1 and 2 as supplemental information to clarify the data reported
in item 3. Federal Reserve staff use the assets data reported in item 4
for analytical purposes.
Proposed revisions: The Board proposes to revise the instructions
to remove references to an FBO's strength of support assessment (SOSA)
ranking and its status as a financial holding company (FHC). These
changes are related to the revisions to the PSR policy, which the Board
implemented on April 1, 2019, and which will take effect on October 1,
2020. The SOSA ranking and FHC status are no longer used for
determining an FBO's eligibility for a positive net debit cap, the size
of its net debit cap, and its eligibility to request a streamlined
procedure to obtain maximum daylight overdraft capacity. In addition,
the Board proposes to revise the confidentiality section of the
instructions to clarify how an FBO may request its information be
treated as confidential, if the FBO believes the information submitted
on its FR 2225 report is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of
Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552(b). The Board also is changing language
in the FR 2225 to clarify where the confidentiality instructions can be
found, and updating the legal statutes listed on the face of the FR
2225.
Legal authorization and confidentiality: This information
collection is authorized pursuant to section 7(a) of the International
Banking Act, 12 U.S.C. 3105(a), which establishes reserve requirements
for U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks, and pursuant to
section 13(14) of the Federal Reserve Act (FRA), 12 U.S.C. 347d, which
provides that ``each Federal Reserve bank may receive deposits from,
discount paper endorsed by, and make advances to any branch or agency
of a foreign bank in the same manner and to the same extent that it may
exercise such powers with respect to a member bank if such branch or
agency is maintaining reserves with such Reserve bank pursuant to
section 7 of the International Banking Act of 1978.'' In addition,
sections 11(i), 16, and 19(f) of the FRA, 12 U.S.C. 248(i), 248-1, and
464, continue to provide authority for the collection of the FR 2225.
The obligation to respond is required to obtain a benefit (i.e., this
information is required in order for an FBO to establish a non-zero net
debit cap so that its U.S. branches or agencies may be eligible for
intraday credit).
Consultation outside the agency: There has been no consultation
outside the Federal Reserve System.
