SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC 

is proposing to adopt the following new 

information collection: 

Title: Interest Rate Risk Vendor 

Questionnaire. 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. 

Respondents: Asset-Liability 

Management Software Vendors (model 

developers and consultants). 

Total Estimated Number of 

Respondents: 73 (33 model developers; 

40 consultants). 

Estimated Time per Response: 8 hours 

for model developers; 4 hours for 

consultants. 

Total Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

424 hours. 

Type of Review: Regular. 

Abstract 

In June 2014, the Federal Financial 

Institutions Examination Council 

(FFIEC) 1 Task Force on Supervision 

(TFOS) established a working group to 

discuss supervisory processes and 

strategies for monitoring and addressing 

interest rate risk at insured depository 

institutions. One of the group’s key 

priorities is to complete a questionnaire 

of asset-liability management software 

vendor model developers and 

consultants. The questionnaire is 

designed to inform examiners of the 

mechanics and underlying assumptions 

of specific interest rate risk models with 

the goal of helping examiners gain a 

better understanding of financial 

institutions’ rate sensitivity modeling. 

The questionnaire captures information 

ranging from basic aspects of each 

vendor or consultant’s interest rate risk 

model, for instance, its client base to 

more complex components, including 

modeling capability. The complex 

modeling components will provide a 

baseline level of regulatory knowledge 

about each vendor or consultant’s 

ability to measure interest rate risk 

under a variety of approaches, capture 

data, and measure the risk, including 

optionality. The questionnaire would 

cover approximately 73 vendors 

comprised of 33 model developers and 

40 consultants. The questionnaire 

should take approximately 8 hours for 

each model developer to complete and 

4 hours for each consultant to complete 

less detailed responses to model-related 

questions. 

The OCC will serve as the sponsoring 

or central collection agency for this 

information collection. The information 

will be collected by the OCC and made 

available to the FFIEC’s TFOS in order 

to support its discussions concerning 

supervisory processes and strategies for 

monitoring and addressing interest rate 

risk at insured depository institutions. 

Request for Comment 

The OCC published a notice for 60 

days of comment on February 3, 2015 

(80 FR 5884). One comment was 

received from a model vendor. The 

comment was generally favorable but 

raised an issue about awareness of 

vendor software upgrades; model 

vendors update software periodically. 

Vendors may have clients using 

different versions of a model as clients 

are not typically required to move to the 

most recent version. The questionnaire 

addresses this concern by 

accommodating several versions of each 

vendor’s software. 

Comments continue to be invited on: 

(a) Whether the proposed revisions to 

the collections of information that are 

the subject of this notice are necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

agencies’ functions, including whether 

the information has practical utility; 

(b) The accuracy of the agencies’ 

estimates of the burden of the 

information collections as they are 

proposed to be revised, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(c) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; 

(d) Ways to minimize the burden of 

information collections on respondents, 

including through the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology; and 

(e) Estimates of capital or start-up 

costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. 

Comments submitted in response to 

this joint notice will be shared among 

the agencies. All comments will become 

a matter of public record.
