SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 15, 1984, the Office of Management

collection of information requests and requirements conducted or

Submission, supporting statements and approved collection of 
information instrument(s) are placed into OMB's public docket files. 
The Board may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not

    General description of report: These collections of information are 
applicable to top-tier BHCs with total consolidated assets of $100 
billion or more and U.S. IHCs. This family of information collections 
is composed of the following three reports:
     The semi-annual FR Y-14A, which collects quantitative 
projections of balance sheet, income, losses, and capital across a 
range of macroeconomic scenarios, and qualitative information on 
methodologies used to develop internal projections of capital across 
scenarios.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Firms that must re-submit their capital plan generally also 
must provide a revised FR Y-14A in connection with their 
resubmission. See 12 CFR 225.8(d)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The quarterly FR Y-14Q, which collects granular data on 
various asset classes, including loans, securities, trading assets, and 
pre-provision net revenue (PPNR) for the reporting period.
     The monthly FR Y-14M, which is comprised of three retail 
portfolio- and loan-level schedules, and one detailed address matching 
schedule to supplement two of the portfolio- and loan-level schedules.
    Respondent firms are currently required to submit up to 18 filings 
each year: 2 semi-annual FR Y-14A filings, 4 quarterly FR Y-14Q 
filings, and 12 monthly FR Y-14M filings.
    Legal authorization and confidentiality: The FR Y-14 A/Q/M reports 
are mandatory. The Board has the authority to require BHCs to file the 
FR Y-14A/Q/M reports pursuant to section 5 of the Bank Holding Company 
Act (BHC Act) (12 U.S.C. 1844), and to require the U.S. IHCs of Foreign 
Banking Organizations to file the FR Y-14 A/Q/M reports pursuant to 
section 5 of the BHC Act, in conjunction with section 8 of the 
International Banking Act (12 U.S.C. 3106).
    The information collected in these reports is collected as part of 
the Board's supervisory process, and therefore is afforded confidential 
treatment pursuant to exemption 8 of the Freedom of Information Act 
(FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(8)). In addition, individual respondents may 
request that certain data be afforded confidential treatment pursuant 
to exemption 4 of FOIA if the data has not previously been publically 
disclosed and the release of the data would likely cause substantial 
harm to the competitive position of the respondent (5 U.S.C. 
552(b)(4)). Determinations of confidentiality based on exemption 4 of 
FOIA would be made on a case-by-case basis.
    Current actions: On August 8, 2018, the Board published a notice in 
the Federal Register (83 FR 39093) requesting public comment for 60 
days on the revision, without extension, of the Capital Assessments and 
Stress Testing (FR Y-14A/Q/M). The Board proposed revising sub-schedule 
L.5 (Derivatives and SFT Profile) of the FR Y-14Q, Schedule L 
(Counterparty) by adding back mistakenly omitted items for total 
stressed net current exposure to be reported under the two supervisory 
stressed scenarios. With the addition of these items, the instructions 
would be

[[Page 58773]]

changed to modify the associated ranking methodologies for the yearly 
stressed/CCAR submission in sub-schedule L.5 to require the top 25 
counterparties to be reported as ranked by the total stressed net 
current exposure. The comment period for this notice expired on October 
9, 2018. The Board received one comment from a banking organization. 
The commenter requested that the Board adopt these changes and publish 
the associated materials as soon as possible in order to provide 
adequate time to implement and test the changes. The Board strives to 
provide as much time as possible in advance of the effective date for 
firms to implement revisions. The draft forms and instructions were 
made available with the publication of the initial notice. The 
revisions, including draft forms and instructions, will be implemented 
as proposed as of December 31, 2018.

    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, November 15, 
2018.
Yao-Chin Chao,
Assistant Secretary of the Board.
