including the proposed reporting form and instructions, supporting

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 24, 2017, the Board invited public 
comment on a proposal that would extend for three years the FR Y-15 and 
make certain revisions to the report (FR Y-15 proposal). As revised, 
the report would include Mexican pesos in total payments activity 
rather than as a memorandum item; add securities brokers to the 
definition of financial institutions; expressly include derivative 
transactions where a clearing member bank guarantees the performance of 
a client to a central counterparty; and, specify how certain cleared 
derivatives transactions are reported.\1\ As initially proposed, these 
revisions to the FR Y-15 would have been effective for reports 
reflecting a December 31, 2017, as-of date. The comment period for the 
FR Y-15 proposal was previously scheduled to end on October 23, 2017.

    The Board has received feedback that additional time may be 
required for affected banking organizations to analyze the impact of, 
and to provide comments on, the FR Y-15 changes being proposed.
    In response to the feedback, this notice hereby reopens the public 
comment period for the FR Y-15 proposal by 30 days, with comments due 
November 23, 2017, to provide additional time for comment.
    This notice also amends the proposed implementation date of the FR 
Y-15 proposal such that the proposed changes would be effective for 
reports reflecting the March 31, 2018, as-of date. This revision would 
provide respondents with an additional 90 days to prepare their systems 
to reflect any changes to the FR Y-15 that the Board may adopt after 
reviewing the comments received.

    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, October 23, 
2017.
Ann E. Misback,
Secretary of the Board.
