The information is used to analyze the foreign operations of U.S. institutions. All foreign branches of U.S. institutions regardless of charter type file this report as provided in the instructions to the FFIEC 030 and FFIEC 030S. A U.S. depository institution generally must file a separate report for each foreign branch, but in some cases may consolidate filings for multiple foreign branches in the same country, as described below.

A U.S. depository institution with a foreign branch having total assets in excess of $250 million that does not meet either of the criteria to file quarterly must file the entire FFIEC 030 report for this foreign branch on an annual basis as of December 31. A U.S. depository institution with a foreign branch having total assets of $50 million or more, but less than or equal to $250 million that does not meet the criteria to file the FFIEC 030 report must file the FFIEC 030S report for the foreign branch on an annual basis as of December 31. A U.S. depository institution with a foreign branch having total assets of less than $50 million is exempt from filing the FFIEC 030 and 030S reports. Foreign branches that meet the criteria for reporting on a quarterly basis must not be consolidated with any other branch. U.S. depository institutions may, at their option, consolidate the figures for all other branches located in the same country. validity of the methodology and assumptions used; c.

Comments submitted to the Board in response to this notice will be shared with the other agencies. All comments will become a matter of public record. II. Current Actions On August 13, 2021, the agencies requested comment for 60 days on a proposal to extend for three years, without revision, the FFIEC 030 and FFIEC 030S.1 The comment period for the proposal ended on October 12, 2021, and the agencies received one comment. The commenter, an institution, asked the agencies to clarify how to report equity securities with readily determinable fair values not held for trading in the FFIEC 030. The commenter stated that reporting these securities in line 4(b), ‘‘Other securities (debt and equity)’’ would align the FFIEC 030 with the Call Report classification. The agencies agree with the commenter’s suggestions and will revise the FFIEC 030 instructions accordingly. The agencies will extend the report forms without revision.

I. Legal Basis and Need for Collection

    This information collection is mandatory under the following 
authorities: 12 U.S.C. 602 (Board); 12 U.S.C. 161 and 602 (OCC); and 12 
U.S.C. 1828 (FDIC). This information collection is given confidential 
treatment under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (8).
    The FFIEC 030 collects asset and liability information for foreign 
branches of insured U.S. banks and insured U.S. savings associations 
(U.S. depository institutions) and is required for regulatory and 
supervisory purposes. The information is used to analyze the foreign 
operations of U.S. institutions. All foreign branches of U.S. 
institutions regardless of charter type file this report as provided in 
the instructions to the FFIEC 030 and FFIEC 030S.
    A U.S. depository institution generally must file a separate report 
for each foreign branch, but in some cases may consolidate filings for 
multiple foreign branches in the same country, as described below.
    A branch with either total assets of at least $2 billion or 
commitments to

[[Page 62601]]

purchase foreign currencies and U.S. dollar exchange of at least $5 
billion as of the end of a calendar quarter is considered a 
``significant branch'' and must file the FFIEC 030 report quarterly. A 
U.S. depository institution with a foreign branch having total assets 
in excess of $250 million that does not meet either of the criteria to 
file quarterly must file the entire FFIEC 030 report for this foreign 
branch on an annual basis as of December 31.
    A U.S. depository institution with a foreign branch having total 
assets of $50 million or more, but less than or equal to $250 million 
that does not meet the criteria to file the FFIEC 030 report must file 
the FFIEC 030S report for the foreign branch on an annual basis as of 
December 31. A U.S. depository institution with a foreign branch having 
total assets of less than $50 million is exempt from filing the FFIEC 
030 and 030S reports.
    Foreign branches that meet the criteria for reporting on a 
quarterly basis must not be consolidated with any other branch. U.S. 
depository institutions may, at their option, consolidate the figures 
for all other branches located in the same country.

II. Current Actions

    On August 13, 2021, the agencies requested comment for 60 days on a 
proposal to extend for three years, without revision, the FFIEC 030 and 
FFIEC 030S.\1\ The comment period for the proposal ended on October 12, 
2021, and the agencies received one comment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 86 FR 44768 (Aug. 13, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The commenter, an institution, asked the agencies to clarify how to 
report equity securities with readily determinable fair values not held 
for trading in the FFIEC 030. The commenter stated that reporting these 
securities in line 4(b), ``Other securities (debt and equity)'' would 
align the FFIEC 030 with the Call Report classification. The agencies 
agree with the commenter's suggestions and will revise the FFIEC 030 
instructions accordingly. The agencies will extend the report forms 
without revision.

III. Request for Comment
