Frequency: Annual, event-generated.

Respondents: Insured depository institutions (other than certain limited-purpose trust institutions and any insured depository institution that has, and if every company that controls it has, total consolidated assets of $10 billion or less and total trading assets and trading liabilities, on a consolidated basis, that are 5 percent or less of total consolidated assets), any company that controls such an insured depository institution, any company that is treated as a bank holding company for purposes of section 8 of the International Banking Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 3106), and any affiliate or subsidiary of any of the foregoing, and nonbank financial companies designated by the Financial Stability Oversight Council that engage in proprietary trading activities or make investments in covered funds.

Current actions: On October 18, 2022, the Board published a notice in the Federal Register (87 FR 63069) requesting public comment for 60 days on the extension, with revision, of the FR Y-1.
