Request 

AGENCIES: Office of the Comptroller of 

the Currency, Treasury; Board of 

Governors of the Federal Reserve 

System; Federal Deposit Insurance 

Corporation; and Office of Thrift 

Supervision, Treasury. 

ACTION: Joint notice and request for 

comment; extension of comment period. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

requirements of the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35), the OCC, the Board, the 

FDIC, and the OTS (collectively, the 

agencies) may not conduct or sponsor, 

and the respondent is not required to 

respond to, an information collection 

unless it displays a currently valid 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) control number. The Federal 

Financial Institutions Examination 

Council (FFIEC), of which the agencies 

are members, approved the agencies’ 

publication for public comment of 

proposed new regulatory reporting 

requirements for banks 1 that qualify for 

and adopt the Advanced Capital 

Adequacy Framework to calculate their 

risk-based capital requirement or banks 

that are in the parallel run stage of 

qualifying to adopt this proposed 

framework. This notice extends the 

comment period on this document for 

consistency with the extension of the 

comment period for the notice of 

proposed rulemaking on the Advanced 

Capital Adequacy Framework, as 

published elsewhere in today’s issue of 

the Federal Register. 

DATES: The comment period for the joint 

notice and request for comment 

published at 71 FR 55981 (Sept. 25, 

2006) is extended until March 26, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any of the methods identified in the 

joint notice on Proposed Agency 

Information Collection Activities. (See 

71 FR 55981, September 25, 2006.) 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information about the proposed 

regulatory reporting requirements 

discussed in this notice, please contact

whose names appear below. In addition, 

copies of reporting schedules and 

instructions can be obtained at each

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

September 25, 2006, the agencies 

published a joint notice and request for 

comment on the proposed reporting 

requirements (71 FR 55981). 

Simultaneously with publication of the 

information collection notice, the 

agencies published a proposed rule 

seeking comment on the Advanced 

Capital Adequacy Framework (Basel II 

NPR) (71 FR 55830). The comment 

period on the information collection 

notice and the Basel II NPR ends on 

January 23, 2007. Elsewhere in today’s 

issue of the Federal Register, the 

agencies extended the comment period 

for the Basel II NPR. The agencies have 

determined that an extension of the 

comment period on the information 

collection notice is appropriate for 

consistency. At the end of the comment 

period, the comments and 

recommendations received will be 

analyzed to determine the extent to 

which the FFIEC should modify the 

proposed reporting requirements prior 

to giving its final approval. The agencies 

will then submit the proposed reporting 

requirements to OMB for review and 

approval and, upon approval, OMB will 

assign control numbers.
