    General description of collection: The Interagency Policy Statement

provide consistent interagency expectations on sound practices for 
managing funding and liquidity risk. The Guidance includes a number of 
voluntary recordkeeping provisions that apply to the respondents listed 
above. The recordkeeping provisions relate to liquidity risk management 
policies, procedures, and assumptions, and contingency funding plans.
    Legal authorization and confidentiality: The recordkeeping 
provisions of the Guidance are authorized pursuant to sections 9(6), 
25, and 25A of the Federal Reserve Act \1\ (for state member banks, 
agreement corporations, and Edge corporations, respectively); section 
5(c) of the Bank Holding Company Act \2\ (for bank holding companies); 
section 10(b)(3) of the Home Owners' Loan Act \3\ (savings and loan 
holding companies); and section 7(c)(2) of the International Banking 
Act \4\ (state-licensed branches and agencies of foreign banks, other

    Because these records would be maintained at each banking 
organization, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) would only be 
implicated if the Board obtained such records as part of the 
examination or supervision of a banking organization. In the event the 
records are obtained by the Board as part of an examination or 
supervision of a financial institution, this information may be 
considered confidential pursuant to exemption 8 of the FOIA, which 
protects information contained in ``examination, operating, or 
condition reports'' obtained in the bank supervisory process.\5\ In 
addition, the information may also be kept confidential under exemption 
4 of the FOIA, which protects nonpublic commercial or financial 
information, which is both customarily and actually treated as private 
by the respondent.\6\
