Connection with Regulation W (12 CFR 

Part 223 Transactions Between Member 

Banks and Their Affiliates). 

Agency form number: Reg W. 

OMB control number: 7100–0304. 

Frequency: Event-generated. 

Reporters: Insured depository 

institutions and uninsured member 

banks. 

Annual reporting hours: 220 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

Loan participation renewal notice, 2

Internal corporate reorganization 

transactions notice, 6 hours; and Section 

23A additional exemption notice, 10 

hours. 

Number of respondents: 28.

General description of report: This 

information collection is required to 

evidence compliance with sections 23A 

and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act (12 

U.S.C. 371c(f) and 371c–1(e)). 

Confidential and proprietary 

information collected for the purposes 

of the Loan Participation Renewal 

notice 12 CFR 223.15(b)(4) may be 

protected under the authority of the 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

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

exempts information deemed 

competitively sensitive from disclosure 

and Section (b)(8) exempts information 

‘‘contained in or related to examination, 

operating, or condition reports prepared

agency responsible for the regulation or 

supervision of financial institutions.’’ 

Abstract: On December 12, 2002, the 

Federal Reserve published a Federal 

Register notice 1 adopting Reg W to 

implement sections 23A and 23B. The 

Regulation was effective April 1, 2003. 

The Board issued Reg W for several 

reasons. First, the regulatory framework 

established by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley 

Act 2 emphasizes the importance of 

sections 23A and 23B as a means to 

protect depository institutions from 

losses in transactions with affiliates. 

Second, adoption of a comprehensive 

rule simplified the interpretation and 

application of sections 23A and 23B, 

ensured that the statute is consistently 

interpreted and applied, and minimized 

burden on banking organizations to the 

extent consistent with the statute’s 

goals. Third, issuing a comprehensive 

rule allowed the public an opportunity 

to comment on Federal Reserve 

interpretations of sections 23A and 23B.

System, February 27, 2009.

request is to obtain an emergency OMB

The GADS collects information from 

applicants seeking grants from the 

Administration for Native Americans 

(ANA). ANA awards annual grants in 

nine competitive areas. Previously, 

ANA collected information using the 

GADS form for 4 competitive areas, not 

9. The GADS form, which is part of the 

ANA discretionary grant application 

package, has been revised to comply 

with required changes made to the ADA 

FY09 Program Announcements (PAs). 

The PA5 were changed to comply with 

a new policy established by ACF 

requiring that subcategories within a PA 

be broken down into a stand-alone PA. 

On 12/5/08, ANA published nine PAs to 

support this new requirement for 

separate PA5; it was necessary for ANA 

to change the GADS form to reflect the 

new PA5. Below are the changes to the 

GADS form: (please select relevant topic
