Certain provisions of Regulation VV contain information collection requirements intended to facilitate the monitoring and enforcement of compliance with its requirements. For example, Regulation VV requires banking entities engaged in significant trading activities to collect, evaluate, and furnish data regarding covered trading activities as an indicator of areas meriting additional attention by the banking entity and the Board. In addition, section 248.20(d) of Regulation VV requires banking entities engaged in proprietary trading activity to comply with the reporting requirements described in Appendix A; the Board has implemented this requirement through the Regulation VV Quantitative Measurements (FR VV–1).

See 12 U.S.C. 1851(h)(1). 4 The term ‘‘proprietary trading’’ means engaging as principal for the trading account of the banking entity in any purchase or sale of one or more financial instruments.
