permit coverage and authorization to 

discharge under one of the general 

permits is approved. The eligibility 

requirements, including the requirement

equal to or greater than 50:1 in the 

receiving water, are provided in the

Agency form number: FR H–6. 

OMB Control number: 7100–0278. 

Frequency: Event-generated. 

Reporters: State member banks. 

Annual reporting hours: 125 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

Investment notice, 2 hours; Application 

(Prior Approval) 5 hours; and Extension 

of divestiture period, 5 hours. 

Number of respondents: Investment 

notice, 10; Application (Prior Approval) 

20; and Extension of divestiture period, 

1. 

General description of report: This 

information collection is required to 

obtain a benefit (12 U.S.C. 338a, and 12 

CFR 208.22). Individual respondent data 

generally are not regarded as 

confidential, but information that is 

proprietary or concerns examination 

ratings would be considered 

confidential. 

Abstract: Regulation H requires state 

member banks that want to make 

community development or public 

welfare investments to comply with the 

Regulation H notification requirements: 

(1) If the investment does not require 

prior Board approval, a written notice 

must be sent to the appropriate Federal 

Reserve Bank; (2) if certain criteria are 

not met, a request for approval must be 

sent to the appropriate Federal Reserve 

Bank; and, (3) if the Board orders 

divestiture but the bank cannot divest 

within the established time limit, a 

request or requests for extension of the 

divestiture period must be submitted to 

the appropriate Federal Reserve Bank. 

Final approval under OMB delegated 

authority of the extension for three 

years, with revision, of the following 

reports: 

1. Report title: Application for a 

Foreign Organization to Acquire a U.S. 

Bank or a Bank Holding Company. 

Agency form number: FR Y–3F 

(Formerly FR Y–1F). 

OMB control number: 7100–0119. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Reporters: Any company organized 

under the laws of a foreign country 

seeking to acquire a U.S. subsidiary 

bank or bank holding company (BHC). 

Annual reporting hours: 710 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

Initial application, 90 hours; and 

subsequent application, 70 hours. 

Number of respondents: Initial 

application, 4; and subsequent 

application, 5 

General description of report: This 

information collection is required to 

obtain or retain a benefit under the Bank 

Holding Company Act (BHCA) (12 

U.S.C. 1842(a) and (c) and 1844(a) 

through (c) and is not given confidential 

treatment unless the applicant 

specifically requests confidentiality and 

the Federal Reserve approves the 

request. 

Abstract: Under the BHCA, 

submission of this application is 

required for any company organized 

under the laws of a foreign country 

seeking to acquire a U.S. subsidiary 

bank or BHC. Applicants must provide 

financial and managerial information, 

discuss the competitive effects of the 

proposed transaction, and discuss how 

the proposed transaction would 

enhance the convenience and needs of 

the community to be served. The 

Federal Reserve uses the information, in 

part, to fulfill its supervisory 

responsibilities with respect to foreign 

banking organizations in the United 

States. 

Current Actions: On July 12, 2005, the 

Federal Reserve issued for public 

comment proposed revisions to the FR 

Y–1F report (70 FR 40025). The 

comment period ended on September 

12, 2005. The Federal Reserve did not 

receive any comments. The changes will 

be implemented as proposed. Foreign 

organizations seeking initial entry are 

currently required to file the FR Y–1F. 

However, the filing requirements are 

ambiguous for foreign organizations that 

are already subject to the BHCA and 

seek to acquire a U.S. bank or BHC. In 

order to clarify and streamline the 

application process for foreign 

organizations, the Federal Reserve will 

explicitly state that these organizations 

should file the FR Y–1F. Thus, the FR 

Y–1F will be retitled, renumbered, and 

modified to achieve consistency with 

the FR Y–3, the Application for Prior 

Approval to Become a Bank Holding 

Company or for a Bank Holding
