Agency Information Collection Activities: Information Collection 
Renewal; Submission for OMB Review; Company-Run Annual Stress Test 
Reporting Template and Documentation for Covered Institutions With 
Total Consolidated Assets of $250 Billion or More Under the Dodd-Frank 
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act

AGENCY: Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Treasury.

ACTION: Notice and request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY:  The OCC, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork 
and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal 
agencies to take this opportunity to comment on a continuing 
information collection as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (PRA). In accordance with the requirements of the PRA, the OCC may 
not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond 
to, an information collection unless it displays a currently valid 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. The OCC proposed 
revisions to a regulatory reporting requirement for national banks and 
Federal savings associations titled, ``Company-Run Annual Stress Test 
Reporting Template and Documentation for Covered Institutions with 
Total Consolidated Assets of $250 Billion or More under the Dodd-Frank 
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act,'' and is now seeking 
comment on the final version of those revisions.

DATES: Comments must be received by March 4, 2022.

ADDRESSES:  Commenters are encouraged to submit comments by email, if 
possible. You may submit comments by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC is requesting comment on the 
following revision to an approved information collection:
    Title: Company-Run Annual Stress Test Reporting Template and 
Documentation for Covered Institutions with Total Consolidated Assets 
of $250 Billion or More under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 
Consumer Protection Act.
    OMB Control No.: 1557-0319.
    Description: Section 165(i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform 
and Consumer Protection Act \1\ (Dodd-Frank Act) requires certain 
financial companies, including national banks and Federal savings 
associations, to conduct annual stress tests \2\ and requires the 
primary financial regulatory agency \3\ of those financial companies to 
issue regulations implementing the stress test requirements.\4\ Under 
section 165(i)(2), a covered institution is required to submit to the 
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) and to its 
primary financial regulatory agency a report at such time, in such 
form, and containing such information as the primary financial 
regulatory agency may require.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Public Law 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376, July 2010.
    \2\ 12 U.S.C. 5365(i)(2)(A).
    \3\ 12 U.S.C. 5301(12).
    \4\ 12 U.S.C. 5365(i)(2)(C).
    \5\ 12 U.S.C. 5365(i)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On October 9, 2012, the OCC published in the Federal Register a 
final rule implementing the section 165(i)(2) annual stress test 
requirement.\6\ This rule describes the reports and information 
collections required to meet the reporting requirements under section 
165(i)(2). These information collections will be given confidential 
treatment (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)) to the extent permitted by law.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 77 FR 61238 (October 9, 2012) (codified at 12 CFR part 46).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In 2012, the OCC first implemented the reporting templates 
referenced in the final rule. See 77 FR 49485 (August 16, 2012) and 77 
FR 66663 (November 6, 2012). The OCC uses the data collected to assess 
the reasonableness of the stress test results of covered institutions 
and to provide forward-looking information to the OCC regarding a 
covered institution's capital adequacy. The OCC also may use the 
results of the stress tests to determine whether additional analytical 
techniques and exercises could be appropriate to identify, measure, and 
monitor risks at the covered institution. The stress test results are 
expected to support ongoing improvement in a covered institution's 
stress testing practices with respect to its internal assessments of 
capital adequacy and overall capital planning. The OCC proposed new 
changes to these templates on October 27, 2021.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 86 FR 59447 (Oct. 27, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The OCC recognizes that many covered institutions with total 
consolidated assets of $250 billion or more are required to submit 
reports using reporting form FR Y-14A.\8\ The OCC also recognizes the 
Board has made modifications to the FR Y-14A and, to the extent 
practical, the OCC is keeping its reporting requirements consistent 
with the Board's FR Y-14A to minimize burden on covered institutions. 
Therefore, the OCC is revising its reporting requirements to mirror the 
Board's FR Y-14A for covered institutions with total consolidated 
assets of $250 billion or more.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ http://www.federalreserve.gov/reportforms.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The OCC's changes include only limited updates to reflect the 
changes made by the Board, and the OCC reporting forms will 
substantially resemble the forms used by the OCC last year. Many of the 
changes made by the Board are inapplicable to OCC-regulated 
institutions and involve new items that would not be collected by the 
OCC under the proposed changes. For example, the OCC's, Board's, and 
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's January 6, 2021 final rule 
revising risk-based capital requirements included new items on the FR 
Y-14A that are inapplicable at the depository institution level (for 
example, ``outstanding eligible long-term debt'') and will therefore 
not be collected under the OCC's revisions. Similarly, in 2021 the 
OCC's reporting forms did not collect certain items collected on the 
2021 FR Y-14A (for example, line items related to the stress capital 
buffer), and the OCC's 2022 forms also do not include these items. The 
OCC's 2022 changes include the minimal adjustments necessary to align 
line items with placement on the 2022 FR Y-14A.
    The OCC did not receive any comments on the proposed revisions.
    Type of Review: Revision.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 8.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 4,744 hours.
    The OCC believes that the systems that covered institutions use to 
prepare the FR Y-14 reporting templates and submit to the Board will 
also be used to prepare the reporting templates described in this 
notice. On October 27, 2021, the OCC published a notice for 60 days of 
comment concerning this collection, 86 FR 59447. No comments were 
received. Comments continue to be invited on:
    (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the OCC, including whether the 
information has practical utility;
    (b) The accuracy of the OCC's estimate of the burden of the 
collection of information;
    (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected;
    (d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and
    (e) Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
