2 Method 2 uses similar inputs to those used in 

method 1, but replaces the substitutability category 

with a measure of a firm’s use of short-term 

wholesale funding. In addition, method 2 is 

calibrated differently from method 1. See 12 CFR 

217.405.

B. What information is relevant to 10 

additional chemical substances that 

EPA considered for the current round of 

prioritization? 

During the pre-prioritization process, 

EPA met with federal partners, industry, 

environmental organizations, labor 

organizations, state and local 

governments, and tribes to discuss the 

prioritization process and presented a 

list of 15 chemical substances that EPA 

was considering for prioritization. EPA 

took feedback from these discussions 

into consideration when selecting the 

five chemicals for prioritization listed in 

Unit III.B. Interested persons may 

submit relevant information on the 

following chemical substances that are 

not currently undergoing prioritization 

by using Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2023–0606. 

• 4-tert-Octylphenol(4-(1,1,3,3- 

Tetramethylbutyl)-phenol), CAS RN 

140–66–9; 

• Benzene, CAS RN 71–43–2; 

• Bisphenol A, CAS RN 80–05–7; 

• Ethylbenzene, CAS RN 100–41–4; 

• Napthalene, CAS RN 91–20–3; 

• Styrene, CAS RN 100–42–5; 

• Tribromomethane, CAS RN 75–25– 

2; 

• Triglycidyl isocyanurate, CAS RN 

2451–62–9; 

• Hydrogen fluoride, CAS RN 7664– 

39–3; and 

• N-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-pphenylenediamine, CAS RN 793–24–8. 

C. How will confidential business 

information be protected? 

A person seeking to protect from 

disclosure as ‘‘confidential business 

information’’ any information that 

person submits under TSCA must assert 

and substantiate a claim for protection 

from disclosure concurrent with 

submission of the information in 

accordance with the requirements of 

TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR 703, with 

limited exceptions provided in the 

statute. TSCA section 14(b) limits 

confidentiality protections for health 

and safety studies and information from 

such studies, however, and while EPA 

considers confidential business 

information when conducting its review 

under 40 CFR 702.9(a), the Agency 

encourages submitters to minimize 

claims for protection from disclosure 

wherever possible to maximize 

transparency in EPA’s screening review. 

More information on asserting and 

submitting confidential business 

information claims under TSCA can be 

found at 40 CFR 703 and https://

Regulation Q; Regulatory Capital 

Rules: Risk-Based Capital Surcharges 

for Global Systemically Important Bank 

Holding Companies 

AGENCY: Board of Governors of the 

Federal Reserve System (Board). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Board is providing notice 

of the 2023 aggregate global indicator 

amounts, as required under the Board’s 

rule regarding risk-based capital 

surcharges for global systemically 

important bank holding companies 

(GSIB surcharge rule). 

DATES: The 2023 aggregate global 

indicator amounts are effective 

December 18, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Board’s GSIB surcharge rule establishes 

a methodology to identify global 

systemically important bank holding 

companies in the United States (GSIBs) 

based on indicators that are correlated 

with systemic importance.1 Under the 

GSIB surcharge rule, a firm must 

calculate its GSIB score using a specific 

formula (method 1). Method 1 uses five 

equally weighted categories that are 

correlated with systemic importance— 

size, interconnectedness, crossjurisdictional activity, substitutability, 

and complexity—and subdivided into 

twelve systemic indicators. 

A firm divides its own measure of 

each systemic indicator by an aggregate 

global indicator amount. A firm’s 

method 1 score is the sum of its 

weighted systemic indicator scores 

expressed in basis points. A firm that 

calculates a method 1 score of 130 basis 

points or more is identified as a GSIB 

under the GSIB surcharge rule. The 

GSIB surcharge for a firm is the higher 

of the GSIB surcharge determined under 

method 1 and a second method, method 

2, which is calculated based on 

measures of size, interconnectedness, 

cross-jurisdictional activity, complexity, 

and the firm’s reliance on short-term 

wholesale funding.2

The aggregate global indicator 

amounts used in the score calculation 

under method 1 are based on data 

collected by the Basel Committee on 

Banking Supervision (BCBS). The BCBS 

amounts are determined based on the 

sum of the systemic indicator amounts 

as reported by the 75 largest U.S. and 

foreign banking organizations as 

measured by the BCBS, and any other 

banking organization that the BCBS 

includes in its sample total for that year. 

The BCBS publicly releases these 

amounts, denominated in euros, each 

year.3 Pursuant to the GSIB surcharge 

rule, the Board publishes the aggregate 

global indicator amounts each year as 

denominated in U.S. dollars using the 

euro-dollar exchange rate provided by 

the BCBS.4 Specifically, to determine 

the 2023 aggregate global indicator 

amounts, the Board uses the year-end 

2022 euro-denominated indicator
