PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Agency form number: FR H–5. OMB control number: 7100–0261. Frequency: Policy statement, annually; policy statement (de novo), annually; recordkeeping for loans with loan-to-value (LTV’s) that exceed supervisory limits and maintaining a system of review, quarterly. Respondents: State member banks. Estimated number of respondents: 754.

General description of report: Pursuant to the Board’s Regulation H, state member banks (SMBs) must adopt and maintain a written real estate lending policy. Additionally, this information collection includes certain voluntary recordkeeping provisions in the Interagency Guidelines for Real Estate Lending Policies (Guidelines).1 Legal authorization and confidentiality: The FR H–5 is authorized by section 304 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA),2 which provides that ‘‘each appropriate Federal banking agency shall adopt uniform regulations prescribing standards for extensions of credit that are—(A) secured by liens on interests in real estate; or (B) made for the purpose of financing the construction of a building or other improvements to real estate.’’ 3 The recordkeeping requirement contained in the Board’s Regulation H is mandatory. The recordkeeping provisions in the Guidelines are voluntary, as the Guidelines are nonbinding guidance. Because these records would be maintained at each banking organization, the Freedom of Information Act (‘‘FOIA’’) would only be implicated if the Board obtained such records as part of the examination or supervision of a banking organization. In the event the records are obtained by the Board as part of an examination or supervision of a financial institution, this information may be considered confidential pursuant to exemption 8 of the FOIA, which protects information 1 See 12 CFR part 208, Appendix C. U.S.C. 1828(o). 3 12 U.S.C. 1828(o)(1). The Board also has the authority to require reports from state member banks (12 U.S.C. 248(a) and 324). 2 12 E:\FR\FM\14DEN1.SGM 14DEN1
