1320.16 (OMB Regulations on Controlling Paperwork Burdens on the 
Public). 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,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Chief, Financial Reports Section--Mary M. McLaughlin--Division of

three years, without revision, of the following reports:
    1. Report title: Report of Bank Holding Company Intercompany 
Transactions and Balances
Agency form number: FR Y-8
OMB Control number: 7100-0126
Frequency: semiannually, and interim reporting required for certain 
large asset transfers
Reporters: domestic, top-tier bank holding companies with assets of 
$300 million or more
Annual reporting hours: 4,080 burden hours
Estimated average hours per response: 3 burden hours
Number of respondents: 645 semiannual respondents; 70 interim

Small businesses are not affected.
    General description of report: This information collection is

1844 (c)) and section 225.5(b) of Regulation Y (12 CFR 225.5(b)) and is 
given confidential treatment pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act 
(5 U.S.C. 552 (b)(8)).
    Abstract: The report collects information on assets transferred 
between subsidiary banks and other entities of the bank holding company 
organization (that is, the bank holding company and its nonbank 
subsidiaries). This report also collects information on the income 
recognized by subsidiary banks from other bank holding company members. 
This information is required in order to identify categories of funds 
flows and internal transactions and balances that could adversely 
affect the safety and soundness of insured depository institutions.
    2. Report title: Report of Intercompany Transactions for Foreign 
Banking Organizations and Their U.S. Bank Subsidiaries
Agency form number: FR Y-8f
OMB control number: 7100-0127
Frequency: semiannually, and interim reporting required for certain 
large asset transfers
Reporters: bank holding companies as defined by Section 2(a) of the 
Bank Holding Company Act with at least $300 million in total 
consolidated assets that are organized under the laws of a foreign 
country and principally engaged in banking outside the United States
Annual reporting hours: 360 burden hours
Estimated average hours per response: 3 burden hours
Number of respondents: 58 semiannual respondents; 4 interim respondents
Small businesses are not affected.
    General description of report: This information collection is 
required by section 5(c) of the Bank Holding Company Act (12 U.S.C. 
1844 (c)) and section 225.5(b) of Regulation Y (12 CFR 225.5(b)) and is 
given confidential treatment pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act 
(5 U.S.C. 552 (b)(8)).
    Abstract: This report provides the Board and the Federal Reserve 
Banks with information on intercompany transactions between foreign 
banking organizations and their U.S. bank subsidiaries. It enables the 
Federal Reserve to monitor and supervise intercompany flows of funds to 
ensure that U.S. subsidiary banks are not engaging in any unsafe and 
unsound practices with their foreign owners. This report supplements 
the Board's global framework for the supervision of the U.S. operations 
of foreign banks. In addition, it aids in determining whether a foreign 
banking organization serves as a source of strength to its U.S. 
subsidiary.
    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, May 20, 1997.
William W. Wiles,
Secretary of the Board.
