FINANCIAL STABILITY OVERSIGHT COUNCIL


Proposed Collections; Comment Requests

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Financial Stability Oversight Council (the ``Council'') 
invites members of the public and affected agencies to comment on 
continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). The 
Council is soliciting comments concerning its extension of a currently 
approved collection of information related to its authority to 
determine that certain nonbank financial companies shall be subject to 
supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System 
(Board of Governors) and enhanced prudential standards. Section 113 of 
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the 
``Dodd-Frank Act'') provides the Council the authority to determine 
that a nonbank financial company shall be subject to Board of Governors 
supervison and enhanced prudential standards if the Council determines 
that material financial stress at the nonbank financial company, or the 
nature, scope, size, scale, concentration,

interconnectedness, or the mix of activities of the nonbank financial 
company, could pose a threat to financial stability. On April 11, 2012, 
the Council published in the Federal Register a final rule and 
interpretive guidance (77 FR 21637), 12 CFR part 1310, that describe 
the manner in which the Council intends to apply the statutory 
standards and considerations, and the processes and procedures the 
Council intends to follow, in making determinations under Section 113 
of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Council has made final determinations 
regarding four nonbank financial companies. The Council uses 
information collected under 12 CFR 1310.20 to assess whether a nonbank 
financial company meets the standards for a Council determination under 
Section 113 of the Dodd-Frank Act. The collection of information under 
12 CFR 1310.21 affords a nonbank financial company an opportunity to 
submit materials to contest the Council's consideration of the company 
for a proposed determination and to contest a proposed determination. 
The collection of information in 12 CFR 1310.22 provides a nonbank 
financial company an opportunity to contest the Council's waiver or 
modification of the notice or other procedural requirements contained 
in 12 CFR 1310.21 by requesting a hearing. The Council uses information 
collected under 12 CFR 1310.23 in a reevaluation of its determination 
regarding a nonbank financial company subject to a Council 
determination.
