requirement.

of total assets.18 The capital rule of the 

OCC and the FDIC includes a 

requirement that savings associations 

maintain a tangible capital ratio of 1.5 

percent.19 This statutory requirement 

does not apply to banks and, thus, there 

is no comparable regulatory provision 

for banks. The distinction is of little 

practical consequence, however, 

because under the Prompt Corrective 

Action (PCA) framework, all institutions 

are considered critically 

undercapitalized if their tangible equity 

falls below 2 percent of total assets.20

Generally speaking, the appropriate 

federal banking agency must appoint a 

receiver within 90 days after an 

institution becomes critically 

undercapitalized.21

Enhanced Supplementary Leverage 

Ratio 

The agencies adopted enhanced 

supplementary leverage ratio standards 

that took effect beginning on January 1, 

2018.22 These standards require certain 

BHCs to exceed a 5 percent 

supplementary leverage ratio to avoid 

limitations on distributions and certain 

discretionary bonus payments and also 

require the subsidiary institutions of 

these BHCs to meet a 6 percent 

supplementary leverage ratio to be 

considered ‘‘well capitalized’’ under the 

PCA framework.23 The rule text 

establishing the scope of application for 

the enhanced supplementary leverage 

ratio differs among the agencies. The 

Board and the FDIC apply the enhanced 

supplementary leverage ratio standards 

for institutions based on parent BHCs 

being identified as global systemically 

important BHCs as defined in 12 CFR 

217.2.24 The OCC applies enhanced 

supplementary leverage ratio standards 

to the institution subsidiaries under 

their supervisory jurisdiction of a toptier BHC that has more than $700 billion 

in total assets or more than $10 trillion 

in assets under custody.25

FINANCIAL STABILITY OVERSIGHT 

COUNCIL 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities; Continuing Collections; 

Comment Request; Designation of 

Financial Market Utilities 

AGENCY: Financial Stability Oversight 

Council. 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Financial Stability 

Oversight Council (the ‘‘Council’’), as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

invites members of the public and 

affected agencies to comment on the 

continuing information collections 

listed below, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The 

Council is soliciting comments 

concerning its collection of information 

related to its authority to designate 

financial market utilities as systemically 

important. Section 804 of the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 

Protection Act (the ‘‘Dodd-Frank Act’’) 

provides the Council the authority to 

designate a financial market utility 

(‘‘FMU’’) that the Council determines is 

or is likely to become systemically 

important because the failure of or a 

disruption to the functioning of the 

FMU could create, or increase, the risk 

of significant liquidity or credit 

problems spreading among financial 

institutions or markets and thereby 

threaten the stability of the United 

States financial system. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before February 20, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

invited to submit comments regarding 

this proposed collection according to 

the instructions below. All submissions 

must refer to the document title and 

docket number FSOC–2023–0003.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Designation of Financial Market 

Utilities. 

OMB Control Number: 1505–0239. 

Type of Review: Extension without 

change of a currently approved 

collection. 

Description: On July 27, 2011, the 

Council published in the Federal 

Register a final rule (12 CFR part 1320) 

that describes the criteria that will 

inform the Council’s designation of 

FMUs as systemically important under 

the Dodd-Frank Act and the processes 

and procedures established under the 

Dodd-Frank Act for any such 

designation. On July 18, 2012, the 

Council designated eight FMUs as 

systemically important under title VIII 

of the Dodd-Frank Act. 

The collection of information under 

12 CFR 1320.11 affords FMUs that are 

under consideration for designation, or 

rescission of designation, an

1This estimate refers to the eight FMUs currently 

designated as systemically important under title 

VIII, as well as one additional respondent for 

purposes of illustrating the burden associated with 

12 CFR 1320.11, 12 CFR 1320.12, and 12 CFR 

1320.14. 

2This estimate refers to the eight FMUs currently 

designated as systemically important under title 

VIII, as well as three additional responses for 

purposes of illustrating the burden associated with 

12 CFR 1320.11, 12 CFR 1320.12, and 12 CFR 

1320.14. 

3The hour estimates refer, respectively, to 

information collections for respondents associated 

with 12 CFR 1320.20, 12 CFR 1320.11, 12 CFR 

1320.12, and 12 CFR 1320.14. 

opportunity to submit written materials 

to the Council in support of, or in 

opposition to, designation or rescission 

of designation. The collection of 

information under 12 CFR 1320.12 

affords FMUs an opportunity to contest 

a proposed determination of the Council 

by requesting a hearing and submitting 

written materials (or, at the sole 

discretion of the Council, oral testimony 

and oral argument). The collection of 

information in 12 CFR 1320.14 affords 

FMUs an opportunity to contest the 

Council’s waiver or modification of the 

notice, hearing, or other requirements 

contained in 12 CFR 1320.11 and 

1320.12 by requesting a hearing and 

submitting written materials (or, at the 

sole discretion of the Council, oral 

testimony and oral argument). The 

information collected from FMUs under 

12 CFR 1320.20 will be used by the 

Council to determine whether to 

designate an additional FMU or to 

rescind the designation of a designated 

FMU. 

Form: None. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit and not-for-profit institutions. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

[FMR Bulletin C–2024–01] 

Guidelines for Safety Station Programs 

in Federal Facilities 

AGENCY: Department of Health and 

Human Services and General Services 

Administration. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Health and Human Services (HHS) and 

the U.S. General Services 

Administration (GSA) jointly issue this 

Federal Management Regulation (FMR) 

bulletin titled ‘‘Guidelines for Safety 

Station Programs in Federal Facilities.’’ 

These guidelines were prepared, in part, 

in response to congressional direction 

contained in materials that 

accompanied the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 117– 

328). See the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section for further details. 

DATES: December 22, 2023.

Realty Specialist, Office of Governmentwide Policy, U.S. General Services 

Administration, 1800 F Street NW,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A 

provision in House of Representatives 

Report No. 117–393, which 

accompanied the bill making 

appropriations for Financial Services 

and General Government for the fiscal 

year ending September 30, 2023 (the 

House Report), directed GSA, in 

coordination with HHS as the lead 

agency with health policy expertise, to 

update the FMR bulletin on Guidelines 

for Public Access Defibrillation 

Programs in Federal Facilities, which 

became effective on August 14, 2009 

(the 2009 Bulletin), to reflect advances 

in automated external defibrillator 

(AED) technologies and to examine 

whether AEDs should be required in 

Federally owned buildings under the 

custody and control of GSA. The report 

may be found at https://

www.congress.gov/117/crpt/hrpt393/ 

CRPT-117hrpt393.pdf. The House 

Report acknowledged that sudden 

cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death 

for Americans and that early 

intervention and timely use of an AED 

significantly improves the chances of 

survival. It further noted that, in 2001, 

Congress required the creation of a 

public access defibrillator (PAD) 

program that included voluntary 

guidelines for deployment of AEDs in 

Federal buildings and that, in 2009, 

GSA and HHS issued the abovereferenced FMR bulletin. 

In addition to the House Report, the 

joint explanatory statement 

accompanying division E—Financial 

Services and General Government 

Appropriations Act, 2023, of the 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 

(the Joint Explanatory Statement), 

directed HHS and GSA to examine 

whether AEDs should be required in 

federally owned buildings under the 

custody and control of GSA and to issue 

an updated FMR bulletin no later than 

one year after enactment of the 

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. 

The link to the Joint Explanatory 

Statement can be found at https://

www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/ 

media/doc/Division%20E%20- 

%20FSGG%20Statement%20FY23.pdf. 

Accordingly, this bulletin cancels and 

replaces in its entirety the 2009 Bulletin 

and provides updated information for 

establishing an agency safety station 

program, including public access AEDs, 

in Federally owned buildings under the 

jurisdiction, custody and control of 

GSA. 

The revised guidelines provide a 

general framework and basic 

information for the essential elements of 

designing and implementing a safety 

station program in Federal facilities and 

includes the latest updates in (a) PAD 

programs and AED technologies since 

the 2009 Bulletin issuance, (b) opioid 

reversal agents and (c) hemorrhagic 

control. Safety station program 

configurations are flexible and can be 

designed to accommodate all types of 

Federal facilities. The configurations are 

modular in nature and usually include 

bystander-empowered components with 

opioid reversal agents (such as 

naloxone) or hemorrhagic control (such 

as Stop the Bleed® kits), or both, in 

addition to AED technologies. The 

guidelines do not exhaustively address 

or cover all aspects of a safety station 

program. They are aimed at outlining
