General description of report: The
Community Reinvestment Act (CRA)
directs the Board, the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation, and the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency
(collectively, the agencies) to evaluate
financial institutions’ (banks and
savings associations) records of helping
to meet the credit needs of their entire
communities, including low- and
moderate-income areas, consistent with
the safe and sound operation of the
institutions. 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. However,
there are several limited parts of the
collection that are required to obtain a
benefit: Specifically, the request for
designation as a wholesale or limited
purpose bank, the strategic plan, and the
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements associated with data
regarding consumer loans and lending
performance, affiliate lending data, and
data on lending by a consortium or a
third party.
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.
