SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Proposal to extend for three years 

without revision the following currently 

approved collections of information:

1. Report Title: Report of Assets and 

Liabilities of U.S. Branches and 

Agencies of Foreign Banks

Form Number: FFIEC 002

OMB Number: 7100–0032

Frequency of Response: Quarterly

Affected Public: U.S. branches and 

agencies of foreign banks

Estimated Number of Respondents:

281

Estimated Time per Response: 22.75 

hours

Estimated Total Annual Burden:

25,571 hours

General Description of Report: This 

information collection is mandatory: 12 

U.S.C. 3105(b)(2), 1817(a)(1) and (3), 

and 3102(b). Except for select sensitive 

items, this information collection is not 

given confidential treatment [5 U.S.C. 

552(b)(8)].

Abstract: On a quarterly basis, all U.S. 

branches and agencies of foreign banks 

(U.S. branches) are required to file 

detailed schedules of assets and 

liabilities in the form of a condition 

report and a variety of supporting 

schedules. This information is used to 

fulfill the supervisory and regulatory 

requirements of the International 

Banking Act of 1978. The data are also 

used to augment the bank credit, loan, 

and deposit information needed for 

monetary policy and other public policy 

purposes. The Federal Reserve System 

collects and processes this report on 

behalf of all three agencies.

2. Report Title: Report of Assets and 

Liabilities of a Non-U.S. Branch that is 

Managed or Controlled by a U.S. Branch 

or Agency of a Foreign (Non–U.S.) Bank

Form Number: FFIEC 002S

OMB Number: 7100–0273

Frequency of Response: Quarterly

Affected Public: U.S. branches and 

agencies of foreign banks

Estimated Number of Respondents: 76

Estimated Time per Response: 6 hours

Estimated Total Annual Burden:

1,824 hours

General Description of Report: This 

information collection is mandatory: 12 

U.S.C. 3105(b)(2), 1817(a)(1) and (3), 

and 3102(b) and is given confidential 

treatment [5 U.S.C. 552(b)(8)].

Abstract: On a quarterly basis, all U.S. 

branches and agencies of foreign banks 

are required to file detailed schedules of 

their assets and liabilities in the form 

FFIEC 002. The FFIEC 002S is a separate 

supplement to the FFIEC 002 that 

collects information on assets and 

liabilities of any non–U.S. branch that is 

‘‘managed or controlled’’ by a U.S. 

branch or agency of the foreign bank. 

Managed or controlled means that a 

majority of the responsibility for 

business decisions, including but not 

limited to decisions with regard to 

lending or asset management or funding 

or liability management, or the 

responsibility for recordkeeping in 

respect of assets or liabilities for that 

foreign branch resides at the U.S. branch 

or agency. A separate FFIEC 002S must 

be completed for each managed or 

controlled non–U.S. branch. The FFIEC 

002S must be filed quarterly along with 

the U.S. branch’s or agency’s FFIEC 002.

The data are used for: (1) monitoring 

deposit and credit transactions of U.S. 

residents; (2) monitoring the impact of 

policy changes; (3) analyzing structural 

issues concerning foreign bank activity 

in U.S. markets; (4) understanding flows 

of banking funds and indebtedness of 

developing countries in connection with 

data collected by the International 

Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Bank for 

International Settlements (BIS) that are 

used in economic analysis; and (5) 

assisting in the supervision of U.S. 

offices of foreign banks, which often are 

managed jointly with these branches.

Request for Comment

Comments are invited on:

a. Whether the information 

collections are necessary for the proper 

performance of the agencies’ functions, 

including whether the information has 

practical utility;

b. The accuracy of the agencies’

estimates of the burden of the 

information collections, 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 collections on respondents, 

including through the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and

e. Estimates of capital or start up costs 

and costs of operation, maintenance, 

and purchase of services to provide 

information.

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be shared among the 

agencies. All comments will become a 

matter of public record. Written 

comments should address the accuracy 

of the burden estimates and ways to 

minimize burden including the use of 

automated collection techniques or the 

use of other forms of information 

technology as well as other relevant 

aspects of the information collection 

request.
