Proposed Agency Information Collection Activities; Comment Request, 84141-84142 [2023-26572]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 231 / Monday, December 4, 2023 / Notices (AIEO) commits to providing templates to assist Tribes considering a streamlined format. The template itself does not introduce any new requirements, nor does it limit the information that applicants may submit. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: small governmental jurisdiction (Federally recognized Tribes and intertribal consortia). Respondent’s obligation to respond: mandatory if the recipient chooses to combine their GAP EPA-Tribal Environmental Plan and Work Plan into one document. Estimated number of respondents: 500 (total). Frequency of response: annually (and also every 3–5 years). Total estimated burden: 2 hours (per year) and 28 hours (every 3–5 years). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $1650 (30 hours total/every 3–5 years), but $110 (per year). Changes in Estimates: There will likely be a decrease of hours in the total estimated respondent burden due to the fact that the recipients will now have a streamlined template, resulting in less duplicative and unnecessary reporting and increased clarity in what reporting is required. Jane Nishida, Assistant Administrator, Office of International and Tribal Affairs.

    OMB control number: 7100-0314.
    General description of collection: The market risk rule, which 
requires banking organizations to hold capital to cover their exposure 
to market risk, is a component of the Board's regulatory capital 
framework, Regulation Q--Capital Adequacy of Bank Holding Companies, 
Savings and Loan Holding Companies, and State Member Banks (12 CFR part 
217). The rule includes information collections that permit the Board 
to monitor the market risk profile of Board-regulated banking 
organizations that have significant market risk. These information 
collections provide current statistical data identifying market risk 
areas on which to focus onsite and offsite examinations. They also 
allow the Board to assess the levels and components of each reporting 
institution's risk-based capital requirements for market risk and the 
adequacy of the institution's capital under the market risk rule.

organizations to have a process for prudent valuation of their covered 
positions that includes policies and procedures on the valuation of 
positions, marking positions to market or to model, independent price 
verification, and valuation adjustments or reserves. The valuation 
process must consider, as appropriate, unearned credit spreads, close-

and trading liabilities equal to (1) 10 percent or more of quarter-end 
total assets or (2) $1 billion or more.
