and 223.43(b) and the recordkeeping
requirements found in sections
223.42(f)(6) and 223.42(g)(3). This
information is used to demonstrate
compliance with sections 23A and 23B
of the Federal Reserve Act (FRA) and to
request certain exemptions from the
Board. Sections 23A and 23B of the FRA

certain transactions with affiliates. They
also limit the ability of an insured
depository institution to transfer the
subsidy arising from access to the
federal safety net to such affiliates.
Regulation W implements sections 23A
and 23B by defining terms used in the
statute, explaining the statute’s
requirements, and exempting certain
transactions. The regulation includes
provisions requiring the reporting of
information to the Board under certain
circumstances, to determine whether a
depository institution is complying with

Final Approval Under OMB Delegated
Authority of the Extension for Three
Years, With Revision, of the Following
Information Collections
Collection title: Financial Statements
for Holding Companies.
Collection identifier: FR Y–9C, FR Y–
9LP, FR Y–9SP, FR Y–9ES, and FR Y–
9CS.
OMB control number: 7100–0128.
General description of collection: The
Board requires bank holding companies,
most savings and loan holding
companies, securities holding
companies, and U.S. intermediate
holding companies (collectively, HCs) to
provide standardized financial
statements through one or more of the
FR Y–9 reports. The information
collected on the FR Y–9 reports is
necessary for the Board to identify
emerging financial risks and monitor the
safety and soundness of HC operations.
The Consolidated Financial
Statements for Holding Companies (FR
Y–9C) consists of standardized financial
statements for HCs similar to the Call
Reports filed by commercial banks. The
FR Y–9C collects consolidated data and
is filed quarterly by top-tier HCs with
total consolidated assets of $3 billion or
more.
The Parent Company Only Financial
Statements for Large Holding
Companies (FR Y–9LP), must be
submitted quarterly by each HC that
files the FR Y–9C, as well as by each of
its subsidiary HCs. The report consists
of standardized financial statements,
including the following schedules:
Income Statement, Cash Flow
Statement, Balance Sheet, Investments
in Subsidiaries and Associated
Companies, Memoranda, and Notes to
the Parent Company Only Financial
Statements.
The Parent Company Only Financial
Statements for Small Holding
Companies (FR Y–9SP), is filed
semiannually by HCs with total
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:11 Nov 14, 2024
Jkt 265001
consolidated assets of less than $3
billion. In a banking organization with
total consolidated assets of less than $3
billion that has tiered HCs, each HC in
the organization must submit, or have
the top-tier HC submit on its behalf, a
separate FR Y–9SP. This report collects
basic balance sheet and income data for
the parent company, as well as data on
its intangible assets and intercompany
transactions.
The Financial Statements for
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
Holding Companies (FR Y–9ES) is filed
annually by each employee stock
ownership plan (ESOP) that is also an
HC. The report collects financial data on
the ESOP’s benefit plan activities. The
FR Y–9ES consists of four schedules:
Statement of Changes in Net Assets
Available for Benefits, Statement of Net
Assets Available for Benefits,
Memoranda, and Notes to the Financial
Statements.
The instructions to each of the FR Y–
9C, FR Y–9LP, FR Y–9SP, and FR Y–
9ES state that respondent HCs should
retain workpapers and other records
used in the preparation of the reports for
a period of three years following
submission. In addition, HCs must
maintain in their files a manually signed
and attested printout of the data
submitted under each form for a period
of three years.
The Supplement to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for Holding
Companies (FR Y–9CS) is a voluntary,
free-form supplemental report that the
Board may utilize to collect critical
additional data deemed to be needed
from HCs in an expedited manner. The
FR Y–9CS data collections are used to
assess and monitor emerging issues
related to HCs, and the report is
intended to supplement the other FR Y–
9 reports. The data requested by the FR
Y–9CS would depend on the Board’s
data needs in any given situation. For
example, changes made by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board may
introduce into generally accepted
accounting principles new data items
that are not currently collected by the
other FR Y–9 reports. The Board could
use the FR Y–9CS report to collect these
data until the items are implemented
into the other FR Y–9 reports.
Frequency: Quarterly, semiannual,
annual, and as needed.
Respondents: HCs.

quarterly or annually by Edge and
agreement corporations (collectively,
Edges or Edge corporations). The Board
is responsible for authorizing,

public comment for 60 days on the
extension, with revision, of the FR Y–
9 and FR 2886b. The comment period
for both notices expired on August 6,
2024, and the Board received one
comment letter. After considering the
comments received on the proposal, the
Board is proceeding with the revisions
to the FR Y–9C, FR Y–9LP, and FR
2886b as proposed.
Detailed Discussion of Public
Comments
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
1. ASU 2022–02, ‘‘Financial
Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic):
Troubled Debt Restructurings and
Vintage Disclosures’’
The commenter is supportive of the
proposed revisions to align the
regulatory reporting of loan
modifications to borrowers experiencing
financial difficulty (LMBEFD) on the FR
Y–9C, FR Y–9LP, and FR 2886b in
accordance with ASU 2022–02. The
commenter noted that, in any event, the
Board should not modify the proposed
FR Y–9 revisions to bring the reporting
in line with the outstanding proposal on
the Call Reports.1 The commenter urged
the Board to implement ASU 2022–02
across all regulatory reporting forms,
including the Consolidated Reports of
Condition and Income (Call Reports)
(FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041, and FFIEC 051).
The commenter stated that aligning all
regulatory reports with ASU 2022–02
would align with current practices by
banking organizations and would
reduce burden by eliminating the
necessity to develop and maintain dual
processes.
In response, the Board is proceeding
with these revisions as proposed to the
FR Y–9C, FR Y–9LP, and FR 2886b.
Additionally, on June 7, 2024, the Board
published in the Federal Register
separate initial notices that invited
comment for 60 days on the extension,
with revision, of the Financial
Statements of U.S. Nonbank
Subsidiaries Held by Foreign Banking
Organization (FR Y–7N),2 Financial
Statements of Foreign Subsidiaries of
U.S. Banking Organizations (FR 2314),3
and Financial Statements of U.S.
Nonbank Subsidiaries of U.S. Holding
Companies (FR Y–11) to propose
aligning the reporting of LMBEFD with
ASU 2022–02. Additionally, on June 21,
2024, the Board published in the
Federal Register an initial notice that
invited comment for 60 days on the
extension, with revision, of the Capital
Assessments and Stress Testing Reports
89 FR 45046 (May 22, 2024).
89 FR 48641 (June 7, 2024).
3 See 89 FR 48639 (June 7, 2024).
(FR Y–14A/Q/M),4 to also propose
aligning the reporting of LMBEFD with
ASU 2022–02. Separate from this notice,
the Board may also finalize the FR Y–
7N, FR 2314, FR Y–11, and FR Y–14A/
Q/M notices to align with ASU 2022–02,
after the comment period has expired.
With regard to aligning the reporting
of LMBEFD in accordance with ASU
2022–02 on the Call Report, the Office
of the Comptroller of the Currency
(OCC), Treasury; Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC); and
Board (collectively, the agencies) are
continuing to evaluate the comments on
their September 2023 proposal,5 as well,
as the comments received on this
proposal. Upon conclusion of their
review, the agencies will adopt a
standard through a subsequent
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) notice
with a public comment period.
The commenter stated that the FR Y–
9C’s definition of LMBEFDs should
align with the U.S. GAAP definition,
specifically Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) Subtopic 310–10 and
not scope in any additional
modifications. The commenter noted
that ASC Subtopic 310–10 requires
disclosure of modifications of
receivables to borrowers experiencing
financial difficulty where the
modification results in the form of (1)
principal forgiveness, (2) an interest rate
reduction, (3) an other-thaninsignificant payment delay, or (4) a
term extension (or a combination
thereof) to be disclosed for financial
reporting purposes. The commenter
mentioned that it would be helpful if
the Board would explicitly confirm the
definitional alignment with U.S GAAP
and therefore limit the population of
LMBEFD for regulatory reporting
purposes to those four modifications. In
response to the commenter, the four
modifications referenced from ASC
Subtopic 310–10 are explicitly included
in the FR Y–9Cs definition of LMBEFD
and therefore limits the population of
LMBEFD accordingly.
2. Other Comments Received
The Board also received comments
that were not specifically related to the
proposed changes in this proposal. The
commenter recommended that the
Board should propose and implement
changes to the reporting of loans to
nondepository institutions (NDFIs) and
nonpurpose margin loans on the FR Y–
9C to be consistent with the recently
finalized Call Report proposal.6 The
commenter also recommended that any

changes to the definition of ‘Past Due’
should be aligned and implemented
concurrently between the FR Y–9, FR
2886b, and the Call Reports.
In response, the Board may propose
and implement revisions to the FR Y–
9C related to the reporting of NDFI loans
and nonpurpose margin loans that
would be consistent with the finalized
Call Report proposal. Additionally, the
Board may also propose changes related
to the definition of ‘‘Past Due’’ in the FR
Y–9 and FR 2886b that would be
aligned and implemented concurrent
with the Call Reports. Any future
changes to the FR Y–9C and FR 2886b
related to the reporting of NDFI loans,
nonpurpose margin loans, and the
definition of ‘‘Past Due’’ would be
subject to the PRA notice and comment
process.

Final Approval Under OMB Delegated Authority of the Extension for Three
Years, With Revision, of the Following Information Collections
Collection title: Financial Statements for Holding Companies.
Collection identifier: FR Y-9C, FR Y-9LP, FR Y-9SP, FR Y-9ES, and
FR Y-9CS.
OMB control number: 7100-0128.
General description of collection: The Board requires bank holding
companies, most savings and loan holding companies, securities holding
companies, and U.S. intermediate holding companies (collectively, HCs)
to provide standardized financial statements through one or more of the
FR Y-9 reports. The information collected on the FR Y-9 reports is
necessary for the Board to identify emerging financial risks and
monitor the safety and soundness of HC operations.
The Consolidated Financial Statements for Holding Companies (FR Y-
9C) consists of standardized financial statements for HCs similar to
the Call Reports filed by commercial banks. The FR Y-9C collects
consolidated data and is filed quarterly by top-tier HCs with total
consolidated assets of $3 billion or more.
The Parent Company Only Financial Statements for Large Holding
Companies (FR Y-9LP), must be submitted quarterly by each HC that files
the FR Y-9C, as well as by each of its subsidiary HCs. The report
consists of standardized financial statements, including the following
schedules: Income Statement, Cash Flow Statement, Balance Sheet,
Investments in Subsidiaries and Associated Companies, Memoranda, and
Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements.
The Parent Company Only Financial Statements for Small Holding
Companies (FR Y-9SP), is filed semiannually by HCs with total
consolidated assets of less than $3 billion. In a banking organization
with total consolidated assets of less than $3 billion that has tiered
HCs, each HC in the organization must submit, or have the top-tier HC
submit on its behalf, a separate FR Y-9SP. This report collects basic
balance sheet and income data for the parent company, as well as data
on its intangible assets and intercompany transactions.
The Financial Statements for Employee Stock Ownership Plan Holding
Companies (FR Y-9ES) is filed annually by each employee stock ownership
plan (ESOP) that is also an HC. The report collects financial data on
the ESOP's benefit plan activities. The FR Y-9ES consists of four
schedules: Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits,
Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits, Memoranda, and Notes to
the Financial Statements.
The instructions to each of the FR Y-9C, FR Y-9LP, FR Y-9SP, and FR
Y-9ES state that respondent HCs should retain workpapers and other
records used in the preparation of the reports for a period of three
years following submission. In addition, HCs must maintain in their
files a manually signed and attested printout of the data submitted
under each form for a period of three years.
The Supplement to the Consolidated Financial Statements for Holding
Companies (FR Y-9CS) is a voluntary, free-form supplemental report that
the Board may utilize to collect critical additional data deemed to be
needed from HCs in an expedited manner. The FR Y-9CS data collections
are used to assess and monitor emerging issues related to HCs, and the
report is intended to supplement the other FR Y-9 reports. The data
requested by the FR Y-9CS would depend on the Board's data needs in any
given situation. For example, changes made by the Financial Accounting
Standards Board may introduce into generally accepted accounting
principles new data items that are not currently collected by the other
FR Y-9 reports. The Board could use the FR Y-9CS report to collect
these data until the items are implemented into the other FR Y-9
reports.

Current actions: On June 7, 2024, the Board published two separate
initial notices in the Federal Register (89 FR 48637 and 89 FR 48655)
requesting
[[Page 90286]]
public comment for 60 days on the extension, with revision, of the FR
Y-9 and FR 2886b. The comment period for both notices expired on August
6, 2024, and the Board received one comment letter. After considering
the comments received on the proposal, the Board is proceeding with the
revisions to the FR Y-9C, FR Y-9LP, and FR 2886b as proposed.
Detailed Discussion of Public Comments
1. ASU 2022-02, ``Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic): Troubled
Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures''
The commenter is supportive of the proposed revisions to align the
regulatory reporting of loan modifications to borrowers experiencing
financial difficulty (LMBEFD) on the FR Y-9C, FR Y-9LP, and FR 2886b in
accordance with ASU 2022-02. The commenter noted that, in any event,
the Board should not modify the proposed FR Y-9 revisions to bring the
reporting in line with the outstanding proposal on the Call Reports.\1\
The commenter urged the Board to implement ASU 2022-02 across all
regulatory reporting forms, including the Consolidated Reports of
Condition and Income (Call Reports) (FFIEC 031, FFIEC 041, and FFIEC
051). The commenter stated that aligning all regulatory reports with
ASU 2022-02 would align with current practices by banking organizations
and would reduce burden by eliminating the necessity to develop and
maintain dual processes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See 89 FR 45046 (May 22, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In response, the Board is proceeding with these revisions as
proposed to the FR Y-9C, FR Y-9LP, and FR 2886b. Additionally, on June
7, 2024, the Board published in the Federal Register separate initial
notices that invited comment for 60 days on the extension, with
revision, of the Financial Statements of U.S. Nonbank Subsidiaries Held
by Foreign Banking Organization (FR Y-7N),\2\ Financial Statements of
Foreign Subsidiaries of U.S. Banking Organizations (FR 2314),\3\ and
Financial Statements of U.S. Nonbank Subsidiaries of U.S. Holding
Companies (FR Y-11) to propose aligning the reporting of LMBEFD with
ASU 2022-02. Additionally, on June 21, 2024, the Board published in the
Federal Register an initial notice that invited comment for 60 days on
the extension, with revision, of the Capital Assessments and Stress
Testing Reports (FR Y-14A/Q/M),\4\ to also propose aligning the
reporting of LMBEFD with ASU 2022-02. Separate from this notice, the
Board may also finalize the FR Y-7N, FR 2314, FR Y-11, and FR Y-14A/Q/M
notices to align with ASU 2022-02, after the comment period has
expired.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See 89 FR 48641 (June 7, 2024).
\3\ See 89 FR 48639 (June 7, 2024).
\4\ See 89 FR 52042 (June 21, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
With regard to aligning the reporting of LMBEFD in accordance with
ASU 2022-02 on the Call Report, the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC), Treasury; Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC);
and Board (collectively, the agencies) are continuing to evaluate the
comments on their September 2023 proposal,\5\ as well, as the comments
received on this proposal. Upon conclusion of their review, the
agencies will adopt a standard through a subsequent Paperwork Reduction
Act (PRA) notice with a public comment period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See 88 FR 66933 (September 28, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The commenter stated that the FR Y-9C's definition of LMBEFDs
should align with the U.S. GAAP definition, specifically Accounting
Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 310-10 and not scope in any
additional modifications. The commenter noted that ASC Subtopic 310-10
requires disclosure of modifications of receivables to borrowers
experiencing financial difficulty where the modification results in the
form of (1) principal forgiveness, (2) an interest rate reduction, (3)
an other-than-insignificant payment delay, or (4) a term extension (or
a combination thereof) to be disclosed for financial reporting
purposes. The commenter mentioned that it would be helpful if the Board
would explicitly confirm the definitional alignment with U.S GAAP and
therefore limit the population of LMBEFD for regulatory reporting
purposes to those four modifications. In response to the commenter, the
four modifications referenced from ASC Subtopic 310-10 are explicitly
included in the FR Y-9Cs definition of LMBEFD and therefore limits the
population of LMBEFD accordingly.
2. Other Comments Received
The Board also received comments that were not specifically related
to the proposed changes in this proposal. The commenter recommended
that the Board should propose and implement changes to the reporting of
loans to nondepository institutions (NDFIs) and nonpurpose margin loans
on the FR Y-9C to be consistent with the recently finalized Call Report
proposal.\6\ The commenter also recommended that any changes to the
definition of `Past Due' should be aligned and implemented concurrently
between the FR Y-9, FR 2886b, and the Call Reports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See 89 FR 45046 (May 22, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In response, the Board may propose and implement revisions to the
FR Y-9C related to the reporting of NDFI loans and nonpurpose margin
loans that would be consistent with the finalized Call Report proposal.
Additionally, the Board may also propose changes related to the
definition of ``Past Due'' in the FR Y-9 and FR 2886b that would be
aligned and implemented concurrent with the Call Reports. Any future
changes to the FR Y-9C and FR 2886b related to the reporting of NDFI
loans, nonpurpose margin loans, and the definition of ``Past Due''
would be subject to the PRA notice and comment process.
