Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 20th and C Streets NW, Washington, DC 20551. The Board’s GSIB surcharge rule establishes a methodology to identify global systemically important bank holding companies in the United States (GSIBs) based on indicators that are correlated with systemic importance.1 Under the GSIB surcharge rule, a firm must calculate its GSIB score using a specific formula (Method 1). Method 1 uses five equally weighted categories that are correlated with systemic importance— size, interconnectedness, crossjurisdictional activity, substitutability, SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: and complexity—and subdivided into twelve systemic indicators. A firm divides its own measure of each systemic indicator by an aggregate global indicator amount. A firm’s Method 1 score is the sum of its weighted systemic indicator scores expressed in basis points. The GSIB surcharge for a firm is the higher of the GSIB surcharge determined under Method 1 and a second method, Method 2, which weighs size, interconnectedness, cross-jurisdictional activity, complexity, and a measure of the firm’s reliance on short-term wholesale funding.2 The aggregate global indicator amounts used in the score calculation under Method 1 are based on data collected by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS). The BCBS amounts are determined based on the sum of the systemic indicator amounts as reported by the 75 largest U.S. and foreign banking organizations as measured by the BCBS, and any other banking organization that the BCBS includes in its sample total for that year. The BCBS publicly releases these amounts, denominated in euros, each year.3 Pursuant to the GSIB surcharge rule, the Board publishes the aggregate global indicator amounts each year as denominated in U.S. dollars using the euro-dollar exchange rate provided by the BCBS.4 Specifically, to determine the 2021 aggregate global indicator amounts, the Board multiplied each of the euro-denominated indicator amounts made publicly available by the BCBS by 1.2271, which was the daily euro to U.S. dollar spot rate on December 31, 2020, as published by the European Central Bank.5 The aggregate global indicator amounts for purposes of the 2021 Method 1 score calculation under § 217.404(b)(1)(i)(B) of the GSIB surcharge rule are: AGGREGATE GLOBAL INDICATOR AMOUNTS IN U.S. DOLLARS (USD) FOR 2021 Systemic indicator Size ...............................................................

OMB Control Number, Title, and Any Associated Form(s) 9000–0067, Certain Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 16 Contract Pricing Requirements. DoD, GSA, and NASA will consider all comments received by February 15, 2022. ADDRESSES: DoD, GSA, and NASA invite interested persons to submit comments on this collection through B. Need and Uses DoD, GSA, and NASA are combining OMB Control Nos. for the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) by FAR part. This consolidation is expected to improve industry’s ability to easily and efficiently identify burdens associated with a given FAR part. The review of the information collections by FAR part allows improved oversight to ensure there is no redundant or unaccounted for burden placed on industry. Lastly, combining information collections in a given FAR part is also expected to reduce the administrative burden associated with processing multiple information collections. This justification supports the revision of OMB Control No. 9000–0067 and combines it with the previously approved information collections under OMB Control Nos. 9000–0068 and 9000–0071, with the new title ‘‘Certain Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 16 Contract Pricing Requirements’’. Upon approval of this consolidated information collection, OMB Control Nos. 9000–0068 and 9000–0071 will be discontinued. The burden requirements previously approved under the discontinued numbers will be covered under OMB Control No. 9000–0067. This clearance covers the information that contractors must submit to comply with the following FAR requirements: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) regulations, DoD, GSA, and NASA invite the public to comment on a revision concerning certain Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) part 16 contract pricing requirements. DoD, GSA, and NASA invite comments on: Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of Federal Government acquisitions, including whether the information will have practical utility; the accuracy of the estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the information collection on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. OMB has approved this information collection for use through February 28, 2022. DoD, GSA, and NASA propose that OMB extend its approval for use for three additional years beyond the current expiration date. DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\17DEN1.SGM 17DEN1
