The surveys would be conducted on 

a voluntary basis. The questions asked 

on each survey would vary, so the 

ability of the Board to maintain the 

confidentiality of information collected 

would be determined on a case by case 

basis. It is possible that the information 

collected would constitute confidential 

commercial or financial information, 

which may be kept confidential under 

exemption 4 of the Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 

552(b)(4)). In circumstances where the 

Board collects information related to 

individuals, exemption 6 of the FOIA 

would protect information ‘‘the 

disclosure of which would constitute a 

clearly unwarranted invasion of 

personal privacy’’ (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6)). 

To the extent the information collected 

relates to examination, operating, or 

condition reports prepared for the use of 

an agency supervising financial 

institutions, such information may be 

kept confidential under exemption 8 of 

the FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(8)).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 

15, 1984, the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) delegated to the Board 

authority under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA) to approve and 

assign OMB control numbers to 

collection of information requests and 

requirements conducted or sponsored 

by the Board. Board-approved 

collections of information are 

incorporated into the official OMB 

inventory of currently approved 

collections of information. Copies of the 

PRA submission, supporting statements 

and approved collection of information 

instrument(s) are placed into OMB’s 

public docket files. The Board may not 

conduct or sponsor, and the respondent 

is not required to respond to, an 

information collection that has been 

extended, revised, or implemented on or 

after October 1, 1995, unless it displays 

a currently valid OMB control number. 

Final approval under OMB delegated 

authority of the extension for three 

years, without revision, of the following 

information collection: 

Report title: Policy Impact Survey. 

Agency form number: FR 3075. 

OMB control number: 7100–0362. 

Frequency: On occasion, up to five 

times a year. 

Respondents: Bank holding 

companies (BHCs), savings and loan 

holding companies (SLHCs), nonbank 

financial companies that the Financial 

Stability Oversight Council has 

determined should be supervised by the 

Board, and the combined domestic 

operations of foreign banking 

organizations. 

Estimated number of respondents: 14. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

850 hours. 

Estimated annual burden hours: 

59,500 hours. 

General description of report: This 

survey collects information from select 

institutions regulated by the Board in 

order to assess the effects of proposed, 

pending, or recently-adopted policy 

changes at the domestic and 

international levels. For example, the 

survey has been used to collect 

information used for certain quantitative 

impact studies (QISs) sponsored by 

bodies that the Board is a member of, 

such as the Basel Committee on Banking 

Supervision (BCBS) and the Financial 

Stability Board (FSB). Recent collections 

have included the Basel III monitoring 

exercise, which monitors the global 

impact of the Basel III framework,1 the 

global systemically important bank (G– 

SIB) exercise, which assesses firms’ 

systemic risk profiles,2 and a survey of 

the domestic systemic risk footprint of 

large foreign banking organizations. The 

surveys have helped the Board assess 

changes in regulation related to 

systemic footprint, insurance 

underwriting, and trading book 

securitization, among other areas. Since 

the collected data may change from 

survey to survey, there is no fixed 

reporting form. 

Legal authorization and 

confidentiality: The Board is authorized 

to collect the information in the FR 3075 

from bank holding companies (and their 

subsidiaries) under section 5(c) of the 

Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C. 

1844(c)); from savings and loan holding 

companies under section 10(b)(2) of the 

Home Owners Loan Act (12 U.S.C. 

1467a(b)(2)); from non-BHC/SLHC 

systemically important financial 

institutions under section 161(a) of the 

Dodd-Frank Act (12 U.S.C. 5361(a)); 

from the combined domestic operations 

of certain foreign banking organizations 

under section 8(a) of the International 

Banking Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 3106(a)) 

and section 5(c) of the Bank Holding 

Company Act (12 U.S.C. 1844(c)); from 

state member banks under section 9 of 

the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 324); 

from Edge and agreement corporations 

under sections 25 and 25A of the 

Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 602 and 

625); and from U.S. branches and 

agencies of foreign banks under section 

7(c)(2) of the International Banking Act 

of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 3105(c)(2)) and 

section 7(a) of the Federal Deposit 

Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1817(a)). 

These surveys would be conducted on 

a voluntary basis. The confidentiality of 

information provided by respondents to 

the FR 3075 surveys will be determined 

on a case-by-case basis depending on 

the type of information provided for a 

particular survey. Depending upon the 

survey questions, confidential treatment 

may be warranted under exemptions 4, 

6, and 8 of the Freedom of Information 

Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4), (6), and (8)). 

Current actions: On February 16, 

2018, the Board published a notice in 

the Federal Register (83 FR 7038) 

requesting public comment for 60 days 

on the extension, without revision, of 

the Policy Impact Survey. The comment 

period for this notice expired on April 

17, 2018. The Board received one 

comment from a trade association. 

Detailed Discussion of Public 

Comments 

The commenter expressed 

appreciation for QISs, and indicated 

that members of trade associations 

continue to participate in the voluntary 

surveys because of the surveys’ 

importance for the calibration of 

international standards. The commenter 

included five recommendations for 

helping the Board maximize the utility 

of QISs. 

The commenter’s first 

recommendation was that the Board 

work with the Basel Committee to move 

QIS submission due dates to quarters, 

such as the second quarter, during 

which stress testing and other regulatory 

reporting requirements do not require 

significant resources from respondent 

institutions. Although the timeline for 

development of QISs is not under the 

Board’s control, the Board has 

communicated the commenter’s concern 

regarding the timing of QIS submission 

dates to the Basel Committee QIS 

working group. In cases where there is 

flexibility to move a QIS submission 

date by one or two weeks, the Board 

will work with the Basel Committee to 

avoid coincidence with significant 

reporting deadlines to the extent 

feasible. However, because the typical 

timeframe for the entire QIS process is 

six months and the international 

working groups often require three or 

more months to develop a QIS, the 

Board has a limited window for 

submission dates that would allow for 

cleaning the data and a full analysis of 

results. 

The commenter’s second and third 

recommendations were to leverage data 

available from other reporting forms to 

gather data that respondents would 

otherwise report on the QIS, and, to the 

extent feasible, to minimize 

inconsistency between QIS definitions 

and established market and regulatory 

definitions. The Board agrees that the 

goals of minimizing duplication and 

promoting consistent definitions are 

worthwhile. To minimize duplication, 

the Board already periodically reviews 

QISs and eliminates data items that 

have become available through other 

reporting channels. The Board will 

continue to work with the sponsoring 

body of a collection to identify 

established market and regulatory 

definitions and to minimize any 

inconsistency when feasible. 

The commenter’s fourth 

recommendation was to release for 

notice and comment any QIS that 

gathers data for the purpose of 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 21 / Thursday, January 31, 2019 / Notices 723 

calibrating international standards. The 

Board welcomes feedback on current 

and future QISs from firms both 

formally, through frequently asked 

questions (FAQs), and informally via 

newly instituted QIS outreach sessions, 

ad hoc discussions, and emails. As a 

general matter, however, the Board is 

unable to guarantee the release of QISs 

for notice and comment because 

international working groups often 

require three or more months to develop 

QISs, and the typical timeframe for the 

entire QIS process is six months. The 

full notice-and-comment period under 

the PRA for information collections is 

60 days. In order to alter such a 

proposed QIS prior to its finalization, 

the international working groups that 

develop the QIS would need to 

reconvene and the development process 

would need to be reopened. Given these 

constraints, the Board may have 

insufficient time to conduct the final 

survey and analyze the results within 

the typical six-month QIS timeframe. 

However, when a QIS template is 

available in advance of the planned 

distribution date, the Board works to 

distribute the templates to respondents 

early for information purposes, and 

when time allows, to obtain feedback. 

The Board has sent several proposed 

collections to firms for feedback in 

advance of the due date, including the 

end-December 2017 Basel Monitoring 

collection, and the newly proposed 

Basel III Monitoring Capital and 

Liquidity collections. Upon receiving 

feedback from firms, the Board, in 

conjunction with the Basel Committee 

QIS working group, often revises the 

templates and applies the feedback to 

subsequent templates in order to 

enhance the relevance and quality of 

collected data. 

The commenter’s final 

recommendation was for the Board to 

recognize QIS data limitations when 

applying international standards to U.S. 

institutions. The commenter noted the 

example of a QIS for the largest 

financial institutions in connection with 

Basel III, arguing that it did not capture 

the impact of the proposals on all 

segments of the U.S. banking sector, its 

customers, and the broader U.S. 

economy. The Board recognizes the 

limitations of QIS data and confirms 

that QISs are a tool that serves as a 

starting point for assessing the impact of 

proposals. 

The information collection will be 

extended without revision as proposed.
