Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 23, 2017 / Notices 40001 

1To be exempt, an SLHC must meet one of the 

following criteria: (1) The SLHC was formed under 

section 10(c)(9)(C) of the Home Owners’ Loan Act 

(HOLA) and the consolidated assets of its saving 

association subsidiaries make up less than 5 percent 

of the total consolidated assets of the SLHC; or (2) 

its top-tier holding company is an insurance 

company that only prepares financial statements 

using statutory accounting principles. 

Respondents: Savings and loan 

holding companies (SLHCs) that are 

currently exempt from filing other 

Federal Reserve regulatory reports. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

15. 

Estimated Average Hours per 

Response: 2.5 hours. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 150 

hours. 

General Description of Report: The FR 

2320 collects select parent only and 

consolidated balance sheet and income 

statement financial data and 

organizational structure data from 

SLHCs that are currently exempt from 

filing other Federal Reserve regulatory 

reports (exempt SLHCs).1 The FR 2320 

is used by the Board to analyze the 

overall financial condition of exempt 

SLHCs to ensure safe and sound 

operations. These data assist the Board 

in the evaluation of a diversified 

holding company and in determining 

whether an institution is in compliance 

with applicable laws and regulations. 

Legal Authorization and 

Confidentiality: The Board has 

determined that the Home Owners’ 

Loan Act authorizes the Board to require 

SLHCs to file ‘‘such reports as may be 

required by the Board’’ and instructs 

that such reports ‘‘shall contain such 

information concerning the operations 

of such savings and loan holding 

company and its subsidiaries as the 

Board may require.’’ (12 U.S.C. 

1467a(b)(2)). The obligation to respond 

is mandatory for exempt SLHCs. In 

some cases, lower-tier SLHCs may 

voluntarily file the FR 2320. In other 

cases lower-tier SLHCs may be required 

to file (in addition to the top-tier SLHC) 

for safety and soundness purposes at the 

discretion of the appropriate Federal 

Reserve Bank. 

The Board also has determined that 

data items C572, C573, and C574 (line 

items 24, 25, and 26) may be protected 

from disclosure under exemption 4 of 

the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). 

Commercial or financial information 

may be protected from disclosure under 

exemption 4 if disclosure of such 

information is likely to cause substantial 

competitive harm to the provider of the 

information. (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)). The 

data items listed above pertain to new 

or changed pledges, or capital stock of 

any subsidiary savings association that 

secures short-term or long-term debt or 

other borrowings of the SLHC; changes 

to any class of securities of the SLHC or 

any of its subsidiaries that would 

negatively impact investors; and 

defaults of the SLHC or any of its 

subsidiaries during the quarter. 

Disclosure of this type of information is 

likely to cause substantial competitive 

harm to the SLHC providing the 

information and thus this information 

may be protected from disclosure under 

FOIA exemption 4. 

With regard to the remaining data 

items on the FR 2320, the Board has 

determined that institutions may 

request confidential treatment for any 

FR 2320 data item or for all FR 2320 

data items, and that confidential 

treatment will be reviewed on a case-bycase basis. 

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve 

System, August 18, 2017. 

Ann E. Misback, 

Secretary of the Board.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

Presolicitation notices are used by the 

Government for several reasons, one of 

which is to aid prospective contractors 

in submitting proposals without undue 

expenditure of effort, time, and money. 

The Government also uses the 

presolicitation notices to control 

printing and mailing costs. The 

presolicitation notice response is used 

to determine the number of solicitation 

documents needed and to assure that 

interested offerors receive the 

solicitation documents. The responses 

are placed in the contract file and 

referred to when solicitation documents 

are ready for mailing. 

After mailing, the responses remain in 

the contract file and become a matter of 

record. The FAR sections affected are: 

4.5; 14.205; 15.201(c) and 36.213–2. The 

responses are placed in the contract file 

and referred to when solicitation 

documents are ready for mailing. After 

mailing, the responses remain in the 


asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with NOTICES
40002 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 23, 2017 / Notices 

contract file and become a matter of 

record. FedBizOpps is an electronic 

method for publicizing contract 

opportunities. The number of 

presolicitation notices issued 

government-wide in the last 365 days 

(as of August 11, 2017) per FedBizOpps 

was 7952. 

We estimate that three respondents on 

average would reply to a presolicitation 

notice. Based on this info, we feel that 

the estimated respondents would 

number 23,856. We also estimate that 

each respondent on average would reply 

to three presolicitation notices a year. 

Time required to read and prepare 

information is estimated at 5 minutes 

per completion. 

The burden has increased from the 

one in Federal Register Notice 79 FR 

49316 dated August 20, 2014 due to the 

additional number of presolicitation 

notices issued by the Federal 

Government in FedBizOpps. This had 

the effect of expanding the number of 

respondents who would be affected by 

the collection. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Respondents: 16,699. 

Responses per Respondent: 3. 

Annual Responses: 50,097. 

Hours per Response: .08. 

Total Burden Hours: 4,008. 

C. Public Comments 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of functions of the FAR, 

and whether it will have practical 

utility; whether our estimate of the 

public burden of this collection of 

information is accurate, and based on 

valid assumptions and methodology; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways in which we can 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, through the use of appropriate 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

This information requirement consists 

of reports that do not impose collection 

burdens upon the public. These 

collections require information which is 

already available to the public at large 

or that is routinely exchanged by firms 

during the normal course of business. A 

general control number for these 

collections decreases the amount of 

paperwork generated by the approval 

process. 

GSA has a published rule in the 

Federal Register that falls under 

information collection 3090–0250. The 

rule that prescribed clause 552.238–70 

‘‘Identification of Electronic Office 

Equipment Providing Accessibility for 

the Handicapped’’ was published at 56 

FR 29442, June 27, 1991, titled 

‘‘Implementation of Public Law 99– 

506’’, with an effective date of July 8, 

1991. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

None. 

C. Public Comments 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary and whether it 

will have practical utility; whether our 

estimate of the public burden of this 

collection of information is accurate and 

based on valid assumptions and 

methodology; and ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected.
