Request for Comment on Information Collection Proposal

    The Board invites public comment on the following information 
collection, which is being reviewed under authority delegated by the 
OMB under the PRA. Comments are invited on the following:
    a. Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the Board's functions, including whether the 
information has practical utility;
    b. The accuracy of the Board's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed

[[Page 19928]]

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;
    d. Ways to minimize the burden of information collection on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology; and
    e. Estimates of capital or startup costs and costs of operation, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
    At the end of the comment period, the comments and recommendations 
received will be analyzed to determine the extent to which the Board 
should modify the proposal.

Proposal Under OMB Delegated Authority To Extend for Three Years, 
Without Revision, the Following Information Collection

    Report title: Interagency Policy Statement on Funding and Liquidity 
Risk Management.
    Agency form number: FR 4198.
    OMB control number: 7100-0326.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Respondents: Bank holding companies, savings and loan holding 
companies, state-licensed branches and agencies of foreign banks (other 
than insured branches), corporations organized or operating under 
sections 25 or 25A of the Federal Reserve Act (agreement corporations 
and Edge corporations), and state member banks.
    Estimated number of respondents: Implementation of Recordkeeping 
Guidance, 37; Ongoing Recordkeeping, 4,646.
    Estimated average hours per response: Implementation of 
Recordkeeping Guidance, 1; Ongoing Recordkeeping, 1.
    Estimated annual burden hours: 154,592.
    General description of report: The Interagency Policy Statement on 
Funding and Liquidity Risk Management (Guidance) was issued to 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 
than insured branches). The FR 4198 recordkeeping provisions are 
contained within guidance, which is nonbinding, and therefore are 
voluntary.

    \1\ 12 U.S.C. 324, 602, and 625.
    \2\ 12 U.S.C. 1844(c).

    \4\ 12 U.S.C. 3105(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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 for the FOIA, which protects public commercial or financial 
information, which is both customarily and actually treated as private 
by the respondent.\6\

Margaret Shanks,
Deputy Secretary of the Board.
