[Docket Number FRA–2019–0003]
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Petition for Extension of Waiver of
Compliance
Under part 211 of title 49 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice
that on January 12, 2022, Canadian
National Railway Company (CN)
petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for an extension
of a waiver of compliance from certain
provisions of the Federal railroad safety
regulations contained at 49 CFR
232.305, Single car air brake tests. The
relevant FRA Docket Number is FRA–
2019–0003.
Specifically, CN requests to extend
relief from § 232.305(b)(2), regarding the
requirement to conduct a single car air
brake test (SCT) on a car when it is
placed on a repair track for any reason,
and the car has not had a SCT in the
previous 12 months. CN explains that it
seeks to continue using this relief for the
in-train wheelset replacement program
in Fulton, KY, a purpose-built facility
that utilizes a drop table to safely and
efficiently replace defective wheelsets
while keeping the train intact. The
program identifies and replaces
wheelsets with minor defects falling
between Association of American

requirements, which assists in reducing
the number of wheel, bearing, impact,
and broken rail-caused derailments, as
well as associated injuries.
CN states that it has complied with
the requirements of FRA’s approval
letter, dated June 14, 2019, and
successfully changed out 4,454 wheels
from the date of approval until
December 23, 2021. CN reports no
injuries or accidents due to the
operation of the facility.
A copy of the petition, as well as any
written communications concerning the
petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
Interested parties are invited to
participate in these proceedings by
submitting written views, data, or
comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in
connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a
hearing. If any interested parties desire
an opportunity for oral comment and a
public hearing, they should notify FRA,
in writing, before the end of the
comment period and specify the basis
for their request.
All communications concerning these
proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be
submitted at https://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
Communications received by April
25, 2022 will be considered by FRA
before final action is taken. Comments
received after that date will be
considered if practicable.
Anyone can search the electronic
form of any written communications
and comments received into any of our
dockets by the name of the individual
submitting the comment (or signing the
document, if submitted on behalf of an
association, business, labor union, etc.).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
OMB for each collection of information
that they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) to include agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of title 44 generally
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each renewal of
an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the OCC is publishing
notice of the renewal of the collection
of information set forth in this
document.
Title: Market Risk.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0247.
Description: The Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency’s (OCC)
market risk capital rule (12 CFR part 3,
subpart F) applies to national banks and
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:20 Mar 09, 2022
Jkt 256001
Federal savings associations with
significant exposure to market risk,
which include those national banks and
Federal savings associations with
aggregate trading assets and trading
liabilities (as reported in the national
bank’s or Federal savings association’s
most recent Call Report) equal to 10
percent or more of quarter-end total
assets or $1 billion or more. The rule
captures positions for which the market
risk capital rule is appropriate; reduces
procyclicality in market risk capital
requirements; enhances the risk
sensitivity of the OCC’s capital
requirements by measuring risks that are
not adequately captured under the
requirements for credit risk; and
increases transparency through
enhanced disclosures.
The information collection
requirements are located at 12 CFR
3.203 through 3.212. The rule enhances
risk sensitivity and includes
requirements for the public disclosure
of certain qualitative and quantitative
information about the market risk of
national banks and Federal savings
associations. The collection of
information is necessary to ensure
capital adequacy appropriate for the
level of market risk.
Section 3.203 sets forth the
requirements for applying the market
risk framework. Section 3.203(a)(1)
requires national banks and Federal
savings associations to have clearly
defined policies and procedures for
determining which trading assets and
trading liabilities are trading positions
and specifies the factors a national bank
or Federal savings association must take
into account in drafting those policies
and procedures. Section 3.203(a)(2)
requires national banks and Federal
savings associations to have clearly
defined trading and hedging strategies
for trading positions that are approved
by senior management and specifies
what those strategies must articulate.
Section 3.203(b)(1) requires national
banks and Federal savings associations
to have clearly defined policies and
procedures for actively managing all
covered positions and specifies the
minimum requirements for those
policies and procedures. Section
3.203(c)(1) requires national banks and
Federal savings associations to obtain
prior written approval of the OCC before
using any internal model to calculate
their risk-based capital requirement
under the market risk capital rule.
Sections 3.203(c)(4) through 3.203(c)(10)
require the review, at least annually, of
internal models and specify certain
requirements for those models. Section
3.203(d)(4) requires the internal audit
group of a national bank or Federal
PO 00000
Frm 00105
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
13791
savings association to report, at least
annually, to the board of directors on
the effectiveness of controls supporting
the market risk measurement systems.
Section 3.204(b) requires national
banks and Federal savings associations
to conduct quarterly backtesting.
Section 3.205(a)(5) requires institutions
to demonstrate to the OCC the
appropriateness of any proxies used to
capture risks within value-at-risk
models. Section 3.205(c) requires
institutions to develop, retain, and make
available to the OCC value-at-risk and
profit and loss information on subportfolios for two years. Section
3.206(b)(3) requires national banks and
Federal savings associations to have
policies and procedures that describe
how they determine the period of
significant financial stress used to
calculate the institution’s stressed
value-at-risk models and to obtain prior
OCC approval for any material changes
to these policies and procedures.
Section 3.207(b)(1) details
requirements applicable to a national
bank or Federal savings association
when the national bank or Federal
savings association uses internal models
to measure the specific risk of certain
covered positions. Section 3.208
requires national banks and Federal
savings associations to obtain prior OCC
approval for incremental risk modeling
of portfolios of equity positions and
describes the requirements for
incremental risk modeling. Section
3.209 requires prior OCC approval for
the use of a comprehensive risk measure
and describes applicable requirements.
Section 3.209(c)(2) requires national
banks and Federal savings associations
to retain and make available to the OCC
the results of supervisory stress testing.
Section 3.210(f) requires national banks
and Federal savings associations to
document an internal analysis of the
risk characteristics of each
securitization position in order to
demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
OCC an understanding of the position.
Section 3.212 requires quarterly
quantitative disclosures, annual
qualitative disclosures, and a formal
disclosure policy approved by the board
of directors that addresses the approach
for determining the market risk
disclosures it makes.

currently approved collection.

Title: Interagency Guidance on Asset
Securitization Activities.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0217.
Type of Review: Regular.
Description: In 1999, the OCC issued
the Interagency Guidance on Asset
Securitization Activities 1 (guidance) in
response to a determination that some
institutions involved in asset
securitization activities had significant
weaknesses in their asset securitization
practices. The information collection
contained in the guidance applies to
financial institutions engaged in asset
securitization activities and provides
that any institution engaged in these
activities should maintain a written
asset securitization policy, document
the fair value of retained interests, and
maintain a management information
system to monitor asset securitization
activities. Financial institution
management uses the information
collected to ensure the safe and sound
operation of the institution’s asset
securitization activities. The OCC uses
the information to evaluate the quality
of an institution’s risk management
practices.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.),
Federal agencies must obtain approval from the OMB for each collection
of information that they conduct or sponsor. ``Collection of
information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) to
include agency requests or requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of title 44 generally requires Federal agencies
to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information, including each renewal of an
existing collection of information, before submitting the collection to
OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, the OCC is
publishing notice of the renewal of the collection of information set
forth in this document.
Title: Market Risk.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0247.
Description: The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's (OCC)
market risk capital rule (12 CFR part 3, subpart F) applies to national
banks and Federal savings associations with significant exposure to
market risk, which include those national banks and Federal savings
associations with aggregate trading assets and trading liabilities (as
reported in the national bank's or Federal savings association's most
recent Call Report) equal to 10 percent or more of quarter-end total
assets or $1 billion or more. The rule captures positions for which the
market risk capital rule is appropriate; reduces procyclicality in
market risk capital requirements; enhances the risk sensitivity of the
OCC's capital requirements by measuring risks that are not adequately
captured under the requirements for credit risk; and increases
transparency through enhanced disclosures.
The information collection requirements are located at 12 CFR 3.203
through 3.212. The rule enhances risk sensitivity and includes
requirements for the public disclosure of certain qualitative and
quantitative information about the market risk of national banks and
Federal savings associations. The collection of information is
necessary to ensure capital adequacy appropriate for the level of
market risk.
Section 3.203 sets forth the requirements for applying the market
risk framework. Section 3.203(a)(1) requires national banks and Federal
savings associations to have clearly defined policies and procedures
for determining which trading assets and trading liabilities are
trading positions and specifies the factors a national bank or Federal
savings association must take into account in drafting those policies
and procedures. Section 3.203(a)(2) requires national banks and Federal
savings associations to have clearly defined trading and hedging
strategies for trading positions that are approved by senior management
and specifies what those strategies must articulate. Section
3.203(b)(1) requires national banks and Federal savings associations to
have clearly defined policies and procedures for actively managing all
covered positions and specifies the minimum requirements for those
policies and procedures. Section 3.203(c)(1) requires national banks
and Federal savings associations to obtain prior written approval of
the OCC before using any internal model to calculate their risk-based
capital requirement under the market risk capital rule. Sections
3.203(c)(4) through 3.203(c)(10) require the review, at least annually,
of internal models and specify certain requirements for those models.
Section 3.203(d)(4) requires the internal audit group of a national
bank or Federal savings association to report, at least annually, to
the board of directors on the effectiveness of controls supporting the
