FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary 

A. Kuiper or John Popeo, at the FDIC

1. Title: Assessment Rate Adjustment 

Guidelines for Large and Highly 

Complex Institutions. 

OMB Number: 3064–0179. 

Affected Public: Large and highly 

complex depository institutions. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

11. 

Estimated Time per Response: 80 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: Annual. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 880 

hours. 

General Description of Collection: 

These guidelines established a process 

through which large and highly 

complex depository institutions could 

request a deposit insurance assessment 

rate adjustment from the FDIC. 

2. Title: Resolution Plans Required for 

Insured Depository Institutions With 

$50 Billion or More in Total Assets. 

OMB Number: 3064–0185. 

Affected Public: Large and highly 

complex depository institutions. 

A. Estimated Number of Respondents 

for Contingent Resolution Plan: 37. 

Frequency of Response: Once. 

Estimated Time per Response: 7,200 

hours per respondent. 

Estimated Total Burden: 266,400 

hours. 

B. Estimated Number of Respondents 

for Annual Update of Resolution Plan: 

37. 

Frequency of Response: Annual. 

Estimated Time Per Response: 452 

hours per respondent. 

Estimated Total Burden: 16,724 

hours. 

C. Estimated Number of Respondents 

for Notice of Material Change Affecting 

Resolution Plan: 37. 

Frequency of Response: Zero-to-two 

times annually. 

Estimated Time per Response: 226 

hours per respondent. 

Estimated Total Burden: 16,724 

hours. 

General Description of Collection: 

This Rule requires an insured 

depository institution with $50 billion 

or more in total assets to submit 

periodically to the FDIC a contingent 

plan for the resolution of such 

institution in the event of its failure 

(‘‘Resolution Plan’’). The Rule requires a 

covered insured depository institution 

to submit a Resolution Plan that enables 

the FDIC, as receiver, to resolve the 

institution under sections 11 and 13 of 

the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12 

U.S.C. 1821 and 1823, in a manner that 

ensures that depositors receive access to 

their insured deposits within one 

business day of the institution’s failure 

(two business days if the failure occurs 

on a day other than Friday), maximizes 

the net present value return from the 

sale or disposition of its assets and 

minimizes the amount of any loss to be 

realized by the institution’s creditors. 

The Rule seeks to address the 

continuing exposure of the banking 

industry to the risks of insolvency of 

large and complex insured depository 

institutions, an exposure that can be 

mitigated with proper resolution 

planning. 

Request for Comment 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the collections of information are 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the FDIC’s functions, including whether 

the information has practical utility; (b) 

the accuracy of the estimates of the 

burden of the information collections, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the information collections on 

respondents, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

All comments will become a matter of 

public record. 

Dated at Washington, DC, this 8th day of 

April 2015.

Proposal To Approve Under OMB 

Delegated Authority the Extension for 

Three Years, Without Revision, of the 

Following Reports 

1. Report title: Recordkeeping 

Requirements Associated with Changes 

in Foreign Investments (Made Pursuant 

to Regulation K). 

Agency form number: FR 2064. 

OMB control number: 7100–0109. 

Frequency: On-occasion. 

Reporters: State member banks, Edge 

Act and agreement corporations, and 

bank holding companies. 

Estimated annual reporting hours: 

160 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

2 hours. 

Number of respondents: 20. 

General description of report: The 

recordkeeping requirements of this 

information collection are mandatory 

under section 5(c) of the BHC Act (12 

U.S.C. 1844(c)); sections 7 and 13(a) of 

the International Banking Act of 1978 

(12 U.S.C. 3105 and 3108(a)); section 25 

of the Federal Reserve Act (FRA) (12 

U.S.C. 601–604a); section 25A of the 

FRA (12 U.S.C. 611–631); and 

Regulation K (12 CFR 211.8(c)– 

211.10(a)). Since the Federal Reserve 

does not collect any records, no issue of 

confidentiality under the Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA) arises. FOIA 

will only be implicated if the Federal 

Reserve’s examiners retain a copy of the 

records in their examination or 

supervision of the institution, and 

would be exempt from disclosure 

pursuant to FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4), 

(b)(6), and (b)(8)). 

Abstract: Internationally active U.S 

banking organizations are required to 

maintain adequate internal records that 

demonstrate compliance with the 

investment provisions contained in 

Subpart A of International Banking 

Operations (Regulation K). For each 

investment made under Subpart A of 

Regulation K, internal records should be 

maintained regarding the type of 

investment, for example, equity (voting 

shares, nonvoting shares, partnerships, 

interests conferring ownership rights, 

participating loans), binding 

commitments, capital contributions, and 

subordinated debt; the amount of the 

investment; the percentage ownership; 

activities conducted by the company 

and the legal authority for such 

activities; and whether the investment 

was made under general consent, prior 

notice, or specific consent authority. 

With respect to investments made under 

general consent authority, information 

also must be maintained that 

demonstrates compliance with the 

various limits set out in section 211.9 of 

Regulation K. 

2. Report title: Microeconomic 

Survey. 

Agency form number: FR 3051. 

OMB control number: 7100–0321. 

Frequency: Annually and monthly, as 

needed. 

Reporters: Individuals, households, 

and financial and non-financial 

businesses. 

Estimated annual reporting hours: 

Annual survey, 6,000 hours; Monthly 

survey, 18,000 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

Annual survey, 60 minutes; Monthly 

survey, 30 minutes. 

Number of respondents: Annual 

survey, 6,000; Monthly survey, 3,000. 

General description of report: This 

information collection is voluntary and 

is authorized by sections 2A and 12A of 

the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 225A 

and 263). If needed, the Federal Reserve 

can make this survey mandatory for 

Federal Reserve regulated institutions 

under section 9 of the Federal Reserve 

Act (12 U.S.C. 324) for state member 

banks; section 5(c) of the Bank Holding 

Company Act (12 U.S.C. 1844(c)) for 

bank holding companies and their 

subsidiaries; sections 25 and 25(A) of 

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

and 625) for Edge and agreement 

corporations; and section 7(c)(2) of the 

International Banking Act of 1978 (12 

U.S.C. 3105(c)(2)) for U.S. branches and 

agencies of foreign banks. 

If the FR 3051 survey information is 

collected with a pledge of 

confidentiality for exclusively statistical 

purposes under Confidential 

Information Protection and Statistical 

Efficiency Act (CIPSEA), the 

information may not be disclosed by the 

Federal Reserve (or its contractor) in 

identifiable form, except with the 

informed consent of the respondent 

(CIPSEA 512(b), codified in notes to 44 

U.S.C. 3501). Such information is 

therefore protected from disclosure 

under exemption 3 of the Freedom of 

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

552(b)(3)). If a CIPSEA pledge is made, 

either by the Federal Reserve or by its 

contractor, the Federal Reserve must 

safeguard the information as required by 

CIPSEA and OMB guidance. 

If the FR 3051 survey information is 

not being collected under CIPSEA, the 

ability of the Federal Reserve to 

maintain the confidentiality of 

information provided by respondents 

will have to be determined on a case-bycase basis and depends on the type of 

information provided for a particular 

survey. In circumstances where 

identifying information is provided to 

the Federal Reserve, such information 

could possibly be protected from 

disclosure by FOIA exemptions 4 and 6. 

Abstract: The Federal Reserve 

implemented this event-driven survey 

in 2009 and uses it to obtain 

information specifically tailored to the 

Federal Reserve’s supervisory, 

regulatory, operational, and other 

responsibilities. The Federal Reserve 

can conduct the FR 3051 up to 13 times 

per year (annual survey and another 

survey on a monthly basis). The 

frequency and content of the questions 

depend on changing economic, 

regulatory, or legislative developments.

1The agencies that were party to the rulemaking 

were the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency 

(OCC); Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve 

System (Board); and Federal Deposit Insurance 

Corporation (FDIC). 

2For purposes of this guidance, the term 

‘‘banking organization’’ means national banks and 

Federal branches and agencies supervised by the 

OCC; state member banks, bank holding companies, 

and all other institutions for which the Federal 

Reserve is the primary federal supervisor; and state 

nonmember insured banks and other institutions 

supervised by the FDIC. 

3. Report title: Recordkeeping and 

Disclosure Provisions associated with 

Stress Testing Guidance. 

Agency form number: FR 4202. 

OMB control number: 7100–0348. 

Frequency: On-occasion. 

Reporters: State member banks, bank 

holding companies, and all other 

institutions for which the Federal 

Reserve is the primary federal 

supervisor. 

Estimated annual reporting hours: 

Recordkeeping, 18,000 hours; 

Disclosure, 8,000 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

Recordkeeping, 180 hours; Disclosure, 

80 hours. 

Number of respondents: 

Recordkeeping, 100; Disclosure, 100. 

General description of report: This 

information collection is voluntary and 

is authorized pursuant to sections 11(a), 

11(i), 25, and 25A of the Federal Reserve 

Act (12 U.S.C. 248(a), 248(i), 602, and 

611), section 5 of the Bank Holding 

Company Act (12 U.S.C. 1844), and 

section 7(c) of the International Banking 

Act (12 U.S.C. 3105(c)). To the extent 

the Federal Reserve collects information 

during an examination of a banking 

organization, confidential treatment 

may be afforded to the records under 

exemptions 4 and 8 of the Freedom of 

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

552(b)(4) and (8)). 

Abstract: The interagency guidance 

outlines high-level principles for stress 

testing practices, applicable to all 

Federal Reserve-supervised, FDICsupervised, and OCC-supervised 

banking organizations 1 with more than 

$10 billion in total consolidated assets. 

In developing a stress testing framework 

and in carrying out stress tests, banking 

organizations 2 should understand and 

clearly document all assumptions, 

uncertainties, and limitations, and 

provide that information to users of the 

stress testing results. To ensure proper 

governance over the stress testing 

framework, banking organizations 

should develop and maintain written 

policies and procedures.
