1The FR Y–9 family of reporting forms are the 

primary source of financial data on bank holding 

companies (BHCs), savings and loan holding 

companies (SLHCs), securities holding companies 

(SHCs), and U.S. Intermediate Holding Companies 

(IHCs) (collectively, holding companies (HCs)). The 

FR Y–7N family of reporting forms collect financial 

information for non-functionally regulated U.S. 

nonbank subsidiaries held by foreign banking 

organizations (FBOs) other than through a BHC, 

IHC, or U.S. bank. The FR 2886b reporting form 

collects financial data from banking Edge and 

agreement corporations and investment 

(nonbanking) Edge and agreement corporations 

(collectively, Edges or Edge corporations). 

2See 82 FR 32812 (July 18, 2017). 

3The FR Y–11 reporting forms collect financial 

information for individual non-functionally 

regulated U.S. nonbank subsidiaries of domestic 

holding companies. The FR 2314 reporting forms 

collect financial information for non-functionally 

regulated direct or indirect foreign subsidiaries of 

U.S. state member banks, Edge and agreement 

corporations, and holding companies. 

this 60-day comment period to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) to obtain the full three-year 

clearance. 

This study’s collection of information 

on actual speeds and performance of 

fixed and mobile broadband 

connections delivered to consumers by 

ISPs has been reported to be of great 

value to academic researchers, 

manufacturers and technology 

providers, broadband providers, public 

interest groups and other diverse 

stakeholders. Validation of fixed 

broadband subscribed speeds as 

opposed to actual speeds by 

participating ISPs remains unique to 

this program and provides a context for 

measured speeds. Mobile broadband 

performance information is measured 

using the FCC Speed Test app for 

Android and iPhone devices to test the 

upload and download speed, latency 

and packet loss, as well as the wireless 

performance characteristics of the 

broadband connection and the kind of 

handsets and versions of operating 

systems tested. Information the FCC 

Speed Test App (‘‘Application’’) collects 

is limited to information used to 

measure volunteers’ mobile broadband 

service and no personally identifiable 

information, such as subscribers’ name, 

phone number or unique identifiers 

associated with a device is collected. 

Software-based tools and online tools 

exist that can test consumer’s broadband 

connections, including a set of 

consumer tools launched by the FCC in 

conjunction with the National 

Broadband Plan. However, these tools 

track speeds experienced by consumers, 

rather than speeds delivered directly to 

a consumer by an ISP. The distinction 

is important for supporting Agency 

broadband policy analysis, as ISPs 

advertise speeds and performance 

delivered rather than speeds 

experienced, which suffers from 

degradation outside of an ISP’s control. 

No other dedicated panel of direct 

fixed and mobile broadband 

performance measurement using 

publicly documented methodologies 

using free and add-free technologies 

exists today in the country. The program 

will continue to support existing 

software-based tools and online tools 

but the focus of the program will remain 

the direct measurement of broadband 

performance delivered to the consumer. 

The collection effort also has specific 

elements focused on further network 

performance statistics, time of day 

parameters, and other elements affecting 

consumers’ broadband experience that 

are not tracked elsewhere. The 

information to be confirmed by ISP 

Partners about their subscribers or 

technical and market data regarding the 

broadband services they provide is 

unavailable from other sources.

Request

Federal Reserve System (Board or 

Federal Reserve) has modified its 

proposal to extend for three years, with 

revision, the Consolidated Financial 

Statements for Holding Companies (FR 

Y–9C) (OMB No. 7100–0128), the Parent

implementation date for reporting the 

proposed revisions from September 30, 

2017, to March 31, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 

18, 2017, the Federal Reserve requested 

comment on two proposals. The first 

proposed to (1) extend for three years 

the FR Y–9 family of reports (FR Y–9C, 

FR Y–9LP, FR Y–9SP, FR Y–9ES, and 

FR Y–9CS), the FR Y–7N family of 

reports (FR Y–7N, FR Y–7NS, and FR 

Y–7Q), and the FR 2886b report; 1 (2) 

delete certain existing data items and 

make other targeted revisions to the FR 

Y–9C report; (3) remove from the FR Y– 

9LP, the FR Y–7N, and the FR 2886b 

reports the term ‘‘extraordinary items’’ 

and replace it with ‘‘discontinued 

operations’’ to be consistent with recent 

accounting changes; (4) reclassify and 

clarify the reporting for certain tax 

benefits on all applicable reports; (5) 

add one new data item to the FR Y–9SP 

report; and (6) replace references to 

‘‘loans net of unearned income’’ with 

‘‘loans held for investment’’ on all 

applicable reports.2 The second 

proposal would (1) extend for three 

years the FR Y–11 family of reports (FR 

Y–11 and the FR Y–11S) and the FR 

2314 family of reports (FR 2314 and the 

FR 2314S); 3 (2) remove from these 

reports the term ‘‘extraordinary items’’ 

and replace it with ‘‘discontinued 

operations’’ to be consistent with recent 

accounting changes and (3) replace 

references to ‘‘loans net of unearned 

income’’ with ‘‘loans held for

investment’’ on all applicable reports.4

As originally proposed, both proposals 

would be effective for reports submitted 

on or after October 1, 2017, beginning 

with the reports reflecting the 

September 30, 2017, report date. The 

comment period for both proposals ends 

September 18, 2017. 

The Federal Reserve received a 

comment letter from a banking 

association that, while expressing 

support for the FR Y–9C proposed 

changes, urged the Federal Reserve to 

have the FR Y–9C revisions 

incorporated into the March 31, 2018, 

report date (rather than the September 

30, 2017, report date) to harmonize the 

proposed changes with the proposed 

changes to the Federal Financial 

Institutions Examination Council 

(FFIEC) Consolidated Reports of 

Condition and Income (Call Reports) 

(FFIEC 031 & 041; OMB No. 7100–0036) 

that are filed by insured depository 

institutions. 

The Federal Reserve agrees with the 

commenter’s suggestion. The Federal 

Reserve also believes that making the 

proposed changes effective with the 

reports reflecting the March 31, 2018, 

report date, which are submitted on or 

after April 1, 2018, would give 

institutions ample notice to prepare for 

the revisions and would minimize 

burden by allowing institutions to 

prepare their systems once for these 

proposed changes and any future 

burden reducing changes targeted for 

that report date. Finally, the Federal 

Reserve believes that notifying the 

public of this deferral prior to the end 

of the comment period would minimize 

the burden on institutions associated 

with system changes and other 

processes necessary to implement the 

reporting changes. 

Consequently, in order to avoid any 

undue hardships to holding companies 

in meeting the October 1, 2017, 

implementation date, the Federal 

Reserve recommends amending the 

proposals to extend, with revision, the 

FR Y–9 family of reports, the FR Y–7N 

family of reports, and the FR 2886b 

report to make the proposed changes 

effective for reports submitted on or 

after April 1, 2018, beginning with the 

reports reflecting the March 31, 2018, 

report date. Because the proposed 

revisions to the FR Y–11 family of 

reports and the FR 2314 family of 

reports align with the FR Y–9C 

reporting changes, the Federal Reserve 

also recommends deferring the 

proposed implementation date for these 

revisions. These modifications also 

would be effective for reports reflecting 

the March 31, 2018, report date, which 

are submitted on or after April 1, 2018. 

Amending the proposals would not 

require an extension of the proposals’ 

comment period, the end of which 

would continue to be September 18, 

2017.
