FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM 

Proposed Agency Information 

Collection Activities; Comment 

Request 

AGENCY: Board of Governors of the 

Federal Reserve System. 

SUMMARY: Background. On June 15, 

1984, the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) delegated to the Board of 

Governors of the Federal Reserve 

System (Board) its approval authority 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act 

(PRA), as per 5 CFR 1320.16, to approve 

of and assign OMB control numbers to 

collection of information requests and 

requirements conducted or sponsored 

by the Board under conditions set forth 

in 5 CFR 1320 Appendix A.1. Boardapproved collections of information are 

incorporated into the official OMB 

inventory of currently approved 

collections of information. Copies of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act Submission, 

supporting statements and approved 

collection of information instruments 

are placed into OMB’s public docket 

files. The Federal Reserve may not 

conduct or sponsor, and the respondent 

is not required to respond to, an 

information collection that has been 

extended, revised, or implemented on or 

after October 1, 1995, unless it displays 

a currently valid OMB control number. 

Request for Comment on Information 

Collection Proposals 

The following information 

collections, which are being handled 

under this delegated authority, have 

received initial Board approval and are 

hereby published for comment. At the 

end of the comment period, the 

proposed information collections, along 

with an analysis of comments and 

recommendations received, will be 

submitted to the Board for final 

approval under OMB delegated 

authority. Comments are invited on the 

following: 

a. Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the Federal Reserve’s 

functions; including whether the 

information has practical utility; 

b. The accuracy of the Federal 

Reserve’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed information collection, 

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 

information collection on respondents, 

including through the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology.

Proposals To Approve Under OMB 

Delegated Authority the Extension for 

Three Years, Without Revision, of the 

Following Reports 

1. Report title: Recordkeeping 

Requirements Associated with Real 

Estate Appraisal Standards for Federally 

Related Transactions Pursuant to 

Regulations H and Y. 

Agency form number: FR H–4. 

OMB control number: 7100–0250. 

Frequency: Event-generated. 

Reporters: State Member Banks 

(SMBs) and nonbank subsidiaries of 

Bank Holding Companies (BHCs). 

Annual reporting hours: SMBs, 35,120 

hours; nonbank subsidiaries of BHCs, 

59,823 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

0.25 hours. 

Number of respondents: 1,490. 

Small businesses are not affected. 

General description of report: This 

information collection is mandatory (12 

U.S.C. 3339). Further, the Board has the 

authority to collect information, 

including appraisals, during the 

examination of a SMB (12 U.S.C. 248(a)) 

and a BHC (12 U.S.C. 1844(c)). Such 

documents would generally be exempt 

from disclosure under the Freedom of 

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

552(b)(4) and (b)(8)). Since the Federal 

Reserve does not collect this 

information, no issue of confidentiality 

under FOIA arises. 

Abstract: For federally related 

transactions, Title XI of the Financial 

Institutions Reform, Recovery, and 

Enforcement Act of 1989 requires SMBs 

and BHCs with credit extending 

subsidiaries to use appraisals prepared 

in accordance with the Uniform 

Standards of Professional Appraisal 

Practice promulgated by the Appraisal 

Standards Board of the Appraisal 

Foundation. Generally, these standards 

include the methods and techniques 

used to analyze a property as well as the 

requirements for reporting such analysis 

and a value conclusion in the appraisal. 

There is no formal reporting form. 

2. 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 

(SMBs), Edge and agreement 

corporations, and bank holding 

companies (BHCs). 

Annual reporting hours: 320 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

2 hours. 

Number of respondents: 40. 

Small businesses are not affected. 

General description of report: The 

recordkeeping requirements of this 

information collection are mandatory 

(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. 3106 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)). 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 Board’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 expected to 

maintain adequate internal records to 

allow examiners to review for 

compliance with the investment 

provisions of Regulation K. For each 

investment made under Subpart A of 

Regulation K, 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. 

3. Report titles: Request for Proposal 

(RFP) and Request for Price Quotations 

(RFPQ). 

Agency form numbers: RFP/RFPQ. 

OMB control number: 7100–0180. 

Frequency: On-occasion. 

Reporters: Vendors and suppliers. 

Annual reporting hours: RFP, 7,500 

hours; and RFPQ, 1,600 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

RFP, 50 hours; and RFPQ, 2 hours. 

Number of respondents: RFP, 150; 

and RFPQ, 800. 

Small businesses are affected. 

General description of report: This 

information collection is required to 

obtain a benefit (12 U.S.C. 243, 244, and 

248(l)). The information obtained in 

evaluating a contract bid or price 

quotation is not regarded as confidential 

unless offeror requests confidentiality. 

The Board staff must review each 

request received under the Freedom of 

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

§ 552(b)(4)) to determine if the 

information may be withheld pursuant 

to applicable FOIA exemptions. 

Abstract: The Federal Reserve uses 

the RFP and the RFPQ as needed to 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 41 / Wednesday, March 4, 2009 / Notices 9403 

1 (67 FR 76603). 2Public Law No. 106–102, 113 Stat. 1338 (1999). 

obtain competitive bids and contracts 

submitted by vendors (offerors). 

Depending upon the goods and services 

for which the Federal Reserve is seeking 

bids, the offeror is requested to provide 

either prices for providing the goods or 

services (RFPQ) or a document covering 

not only prices, but the means of 

performing a particular service and a 

description of the qualification of the 

staff of the offeror who will perform the 

service (RFP). This information is used 

to analyze the proposals and select the 

offer providing the best value. 

4. Report title: Notice Requirements in 

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 

hours; Acquisition notice, 6 hours; 

Internal corporate reorganization 

transactions notice, 6 hours; and Section 

23A additional exemption notice, 10 

hours. 

Number of respondents: 28. 

Small businesses are not affected. 

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 

by, on behalf of, or for the use of an 

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. 

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve 

System, February 27, 2009.

Rules 

Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15 

U.S.C. 18a, as added by Title II of the 

Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust 

Improvements Act of 1976, requires 

persons contemplating certain mergers 

or acquisitions to give the Federal Trade
