The CRA is implemented through regulations issued by the agencies. The Board’s regulation applies to SMBs. Legal authorization and confidentiality: The FR BB is authorized by section 806 of the CRA, which permits the Board to issue ‘‘[r]egulations to carry out the purposes of [the CRA]’’; section 11 of the Federal Reserve Act, which permits the Board to ‘‘require such statements and reports as it deems necessary’’ of state member banks; and section 9 of the Federal Reserve Act, PO 00000 Frm 00109 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 which permits the Board to examine state member banks. Most of the recordkeeping, reporting, and disclosure requirements of Regulation BB are mandatory.

Most of the information collected under Regulation BB is not considered confidential. However, if a respondent elects to submit a strategic plan pursuant to 12 CFR 228.27, the respondent may submit additional information to the Board relating to the strategic plan on a confidential basis, so long as the goals in the plan are sufficiently specific to enable the public and the Board to judge the merits of the plan. The Board will determine whether the additional information is entitled to confidential treatment on a case-by-case basis. To the extent a respondent submits information contained in or related to examination, operating, or condition reports prepared by, or on behalf of, or for the use of an agency responsible for the regulation or supervision of financial institutions, the respondent may request confidential treatment pursuant to exemption 8 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). To the extent a respondent submits nonpublic commercial or financial information which is both customarily and actually treated as private by the respondent, the respondent may request confidential treatment pursuant to exemption 4 of the FOIA.
