SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposal to renew the following currently-

    Title: Supervisory Guidance on Stress Testing for Banking 
Organizations with More than $10 Billion in Total Consolidated Assets.
    OMB Number: 3064-0186.
    Estimated Responses: 75.
    Affected Public: Business or Other Financial Institutions.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 6,500 hours.
    General Description of Collection: Building upon previously issued 
supervisory guidance that discusses the uses and merits of stress 
testing in specific areas of risk management, the guidance provides an 
overview of how a banking organization should structure its stress 
testing activities and ensure they fit into overall risk management. 
The purpose of this guidance is to outline broad principles for a 
satisfactory stress testing framework and describe the manner in which 
stress testing should be employed as an integral component of risk 
management that is applicable at various levels of aggregation within a 
banking organization, as well as for contributing to capital and 
liquidity planning. While the guidance is not intended to provide 
detailed instructions for conducting stress testing for any particular 
risk or business area, the proposed guidance aims to describe several 
types of stress testing activities and how they may be most 
appropriately used by banking organizations.
