    General Description of Collection: The information collection 
includes reporting and recordkeeping burdens related to sound risk 
management principles applicable to insured depository institutions. To 
enable an institution and its supervisor to evaluate the liquidity risk 
exposure of an institution's individual business lines and for the 
institution as a whole, the Interagency Policy Statement on Funding and 
Liquidity Risk Management (Interagency Statement) summarizes principles 
of sound liquidity risk management and advocates the establishment of 
policies and procedures that consider liquidity costs, benefits, and 
risks in strategic planning. In addition, the Interagency Statement 
encourages the use of liquidity risk reports that provide detailed and 
aggregate information on items such as cash flow gaps, cash flow 
projections, assumptions used in cash flow projections, asset and 
funding concentrations, funding availability, and early warning or risk 
indicators. This is intended to enable management to assess an 
institution's sensitivity to changes in market conditions, the 
institution's financial performance, and other important risk factors.
    There is no change in the method or substance of the collection. 
The overall reduction in burden hours is the result of economic 
fluctuation. In particular, the number of respondents has decreased 
while the hours per response and frequency of responses have remained 
the same.

    2. Title: Interagency Guidance on Leveraged Lending.
    OMB Number: 3064-0191.
    Form Number: None.
    Affected Public: Insured state nonmember banks and savings 
associations.

    General Description of Collection: The Interagency Guidance on 
Leveraged Lending (Guidance) outlines for agency-supervised 
institutions high-level principles related to safe-and-sound leveraged 
lending activities, including

[[Page 31592]]

underwriting considerations, assessing and documenting enterprise 
value, risk management expectations for credits awaiting distribution, 
stress-testing expectations, pipeline portfolio management, and risk 
management expectations for exposures held by the institution. This 
Guidance provides information to all financial institutions supervised 
by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of 
Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC (the Agencies) 
that engage in leveraged lending activities. The number of community 
banks with substantial involvement in leveraged lending is small; 
therefore, the Agencies generally expect community banks to be largely 
unaffected by this information collection.
    There is no change in the method or substance of the collection. 
The overall reduction in burden hours is the result of economic 
fluctuation. In particular, the number of respondents has decreased 
while the hours per response and frequency of responses have remained 
the same.

Request for Comment

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information 
is necessary for the proper performance of the FDIC's functions, 
including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimates of the burden of the information collection, 
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology. All 
comments will become a matter of public record.
