    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    On June 15, 1984, OMB delegated to the Board authority under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) to approve and assign OMB control numbers to collections of information conducted or sponsored by the Board. In exercising this delegated authority, the Board is directed to take every reasonable step to solicit comment. In determining whether to approve a collection of information, the Board will consider all comments received from the public and other agencies.

    During the comment period for this proposal, a copy of the proposed PRA OMB submission, including the draft reporting form and instructions, supporting statement (which contains more detail about the information collection and burden estimates than this notice), and other documentation, will be made available on the Board's public website at https://www.federalreserve.gov/​apps/​reportingforms/​home/​review or may be requested from the agency clearance officer, whose name appears above. Final versions of these documents will be made available at https://www.reginfo.gov/​public/​do/​PRAMain, if approved.

    Request for Comment on Information Collection Proposal

    The Board invites public comment on the following information collection, which is being reviewed under authority delegated by the OMB under the PRA. Comments are invited on the following:

    a. Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the Board's functions, including whether the information has practical utility;

    b. The accuracy of the Board's estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

    c. Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;

    d. Ways to minimize the burden of information collection on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and

    e. Estimates of capital or startup costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.

    At the end of the comment period, the comments and recommendations received will be analyzed to determine the extent to which the Board should modify the proposal.

    Proposal Under OMB Delegated Authority To Extend for Three Years, With Revision, the Following Information Collection

    Collection title: Reporting, Recordkeeping, and Disclosure Requirements Associated with Regulation YY.

    Collection identifier: FR YY.

    OMB control number: 7100-0350.

    General description of collection: Section 165 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) authorizes the Board to implement enhanced prudential standards and impose requirements related to stress tests on certain financial companies. The Board has relied on this authority to enact Regulation YY—Enhanced Prudential Standards (12 CFR part 252). The enhanced prudential standards and other requirements contained in Regulation YY include risk-based and leverage capital requirements, liquidity standards, requirements for overall risk management (including establishing a Start Printed Page 22151 risk committee), stress test requirements, and debt-to-equity limits for companies that the Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) has determined pose a grave threat to financial stability. The FR YY information collection includes reporting, recordkeeping, and disclosure requirements contained in Regulation YY.

    Proposed revisions: The Board proposes to revise the FR YY to take into account existing provisions in Regulation YY that include information collections, but had not been included in previous clearances.

    Frequency: Quarterly, biennial, annual, and event-generated.

    Respondents: U.S. BHCs, domestic and foreign nonbank SIFIs, SMBs, FBOs, and U.S. IHCs.

    Total estimated number of respondents: 43.

    Total estimated change in burden: 2,578.

    Total estimated annual burden hours: 26,458.[1]
