SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC 

is requesting approval of the following 

new information collection: 

Title: Basel Comprehensive 

Quantitative Impact Study. 

OMB Control No.: 1557–NEW. 

Description: The International 

Convergence of Capital Measurement 

and Capital Standards: A Revised 

Framework, also known as the Basel II 

Capital Accord, sets out a general 

international capital framework for 

banking institutions. The Basel II 

Capital Accord was adopted under the 

auspices of the Basel Committee on 

Banking Supervision 1 (Basel 

Committee), and was implemented into 

domestic regulations in the United 

States by the Federal banking agencies 

on December 7, 2007 (72 FR 69288). In 

an effort to refine the Basel II Capital 

Accord, the Basel Committee will 

conduct a quantitative impact study 

(QIS) to assess the impact of the 

proposed revisions that were published 

by the Basel Committee on December 

17, 2009.2 As part of this effort, the 

OCC, in coordination with the other 

Federal banking agencies, is proposing 

to collect data from national banks with 

respect to the following subjects: 

b Revisions to the Basel II market 

risk framework3 and guidelines for 

computing capital for incremental risk 

in the trading book,4 including the 

incremental risk capital charge; the 

comprehensive risk measure for 

correlation trading portfolios; the new 

rules for securitization exposures in the 

trading book; and the revised capital 

charges for certain equity exposures 

subject to the standardized 

measurement method for market risk. 

b Enhancements to the Basel II 

framework 5 including the revised risk 

weights for re-securitizations held in the 

banking book. 

b Enhancements to strengthen the 

resilience of the banking sector 6
