Activities: Announcement of Board 

Approval Under Delegated Authority 

and Submission to OMB 

SUMMARY: Background. Notice is hereby 

given of the final approval of proposed 

information collections by the Board of 

Governors of the Federal Reserve 

System (Board) under OMB delegated 

authority, as per 5 CFR 1320.16 (OMB 

Regulations on Controlling Paperwork 

Burdens on the Public). Board-approved 

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 instrument(s) 

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.

Federal Reserve Board Acting Clearance 

Officer—Cynthia Ayouch—Division 

of Research and Statistics, Board of 

Governors of the Federal Reserve 

System, Washington, DC 20551 (202– 

452–3829). 

OMB Desk Officer—Shagufta Ahmed 

—Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, New 

Executive Office Building, Room 

10235, Washington, DC 20503. 

Final approval under OMB delegated 

authority of 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. section 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
