Proposed Interagency Guidance— 

Funding and Liquidity Risk 

Management 

AGENCY: Office of the Comptroller of the 

Currency, Treasury (OCC); Board of 

Governors of the Federal Reserve 

System (Board); Federal Deposit 

Insurance Corporation (FDIC); Office of 

Thrift Supervision, Treasury (OTS); and 

National Credit Union Administration 

(NCUA). 

ACTION: Request for public comment; 

correction. 

SUMMARY: This notice corrects the notice 

published on July 6, 2009 on the 

proposed guidance on funding and 

liquidity risk management. The Federal 

Reserve is correcting the Affected Public 

and Estimated Burden sections of Part 

III (Paperwork Reduction Act) and the 

Office of the Comptroller of the 

Currency, Treasury; Board of Governors 

of the Federal Reserve System; Federal 

Deposit Insurance Corporation; Office of 

Thrift Supervision, Treasury; and 

National Credit Union Administration 

(the agencies) are correcting a footnote 

regarding the definition of ‘‘financial 

institution.’’ 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before September 4, 2009. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

James Embersit, Deputy Associate 

Director, Market and Liquidity Risk, 

202–452–5249 or Mary Arnett, 

Supervisory Financial Analyst, Market 

and Liquidity Risk, 202–721–4534 or 

Brendan Burke, Supervisory Financial 

Analyst, Supervisory Policy and 

Guidance, 202–452–2987. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Federal Register issue of July 6, 2009 

(74 FR 32035), the agencies, in 

conjunction with the Conference of 

State Bank Supervisors (CSBS), 

requested comment on the proposed 

guidance on funding and liquidity risk 

management (proposed Guidance). The 

proposed Guidance summarizes the 

principles of sound liquidity risk 

management that the agencies have 

issued in the past and, where 

appropriate, brings them into 

conformance with the ‘‘Principles for 

Sound Liquidity Risk Management and 

Supervision’’ issued by the Basel 

Committee on Banking Supervision 

(BCBS) in September 2008. While the 

BCBS liquidity principles primarily 

focuses on large internationally active 

financial institutions, the proposed 

guidance emphasizes supervisory 

expectations for all domestic financial 

institutions including banks, thrifts and 

credit unions. 

The Federal Reserve is correcting the 

Affected Public and Estimated Burden 

sections of Part III (Paperwork 

Reduction Act) to read: 

Affected Public 

FRB: Bank holding companies, state 

member banks, state-licensed branches 

and agencies of foreign banks (other 

than insured branches), and 

corporations organized or operating 

under sections 25 or 25A of the Federal 

Reserve Act (Agreement corporations 

and Edge corporations). 

Estimate of Respondent Burden: 

FRB: Number of respondents: 6,156 

total (29 large (over $100 billion in 

assets); 117 mid-size ($10—$100 

billion); and 6,010 small (less than $10 

billion). 

Burden under Section 14: 720 hours 

per large respondent, 240 hours per 

mid-size respondent, and 80 hours per 

small respondent. 

Burden under Section 20: 4 hours per 

month. 

Total estimated annual burden: 

825,248 hours. 

In addition, the OCC, Board, FDIC, 

OTS, and NCUA are correcting footnote 

4 (74 FR 32038) to read: 

Unless otherwise indicated, this 

interagency guidance uses the term 

‘‘financial institutions’’ or ‘‘institutions’’ 

to include banks, saving associations, 

credit unions, affiliated holding 

companies, state and federally chartered

U.S. branches and agencies of foreign 

banks, and Edge and agreement 

corporations. Federally insured credit 

unions (FICUs) do not have holding 

company affiliations and therefore 

references to holding companies 

contained within this guidance are not 

applicable to FICUs.
