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 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;

systemically important bank (GSIB) based on its method 1 score
calculated under 12 CFR 217.404 as of December 31 of the previous
calendar year.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

General description of collection: The FR Y-15 quarterly report
collects systemic risk data from the respondents listed above. The
Board uses the FR Y-15 data to monitor, on an ongoing basis, the
systemic risk profile of certain financial institutions that are
subject to enhanced prudential standards under section 165 of the Dodd-
Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank
Act).\3\ In addition, the FR Y-15 is used to (i) facilitate the
implementation of the surcharge for GSIBs, (ii) identify other
financial institutions which may present significant systemic risk, and
(iii) analyze the systemic risk implications of proposed mergers and
acquisitions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Public Law 111-203 (2010); 12 U.S.C. 5365.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legal authorization and confidentiality: Sections 163 and 165 of
the Dodd-Frank Act, as amended by the Economic Growth, Regulatory
Relief, and Consumer Protection Act, authorize the Board to consider
risk to U.S. financial stability in regulating and examining BHCs with
$100 billion or more in consolidated assets and nonbank financial
companies that are under the Board's supervision.\4\ The Board is
further authorized to impose prudential standards for such entities and
to differentiate among companies on an individual basis or by category,
taking into consideration their capital structure, complexity,
financial activities, size, and any other risk-related factors that the
Board deems appropriate.\5\ This authorization also covers certain
foreign banks with U.S. operations under the International Banking Act
(IBA).\6\ Sections 165(b)(1)(B) and 165(f) of the Dodd-Frank Act
authorize the Board to establish enhanced public disclosures for
companies subject to prudential standards under section 165.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 12 U.S.C. 5363; 5365.
\5\ 12 U.S.C. 5365(a)(2)(C). The Board is required to establish
prudential standards for BHCs with assets equal to or greater than
$250 billion and nonbank financial companies supervised by the Board
that (A) are more stringent than the standards and requirements
applicable to nonbank financial companies and bank holding companies
that do not present similar risks to the financial stability of the
United States; and (B) increase in stringency based on the
considerations enumerated in section 165(b)(3). 12 U.S.C.
5365(a)(1).
\6\ 12 U.S.C. 3106(a). Section 8(a)provides that certain foreign
banks with U.S. operations will be treated as BHCs for purposes of
the Bank Holding Company Act (BHC Act), and sections 163 and 165 of
the Dodd-Frank Act amend the BHC Act.
\7\ 12 U.S.C. 5365(b)(1)(B) and (f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, the reporting requirements associated with the FR Y-15
are authorized for BHCs pursuant to section 5 of the BHC Act; \8\ for
SLHCs pursuant to sections 10(b)(2) and 10(g) of the Home Owners' Loan
Act; \9\ and for IHCs pursuant to section 5 of the BHC Act and sections
8(a) and 13(a) of the IBA.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ 12 U.S.C. 1844.
\9\ 12 U.S.C. 1467a(b)(2); 1467a(g).
\10\ 12 U.S.C. 3106(a); 3108(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FR Y-15 report is mandatory. Most information provided on the
FR Y-15 is made public unless a reporting entity submits a specific
request for confidentiality, either on the FR Y-15 or on the form from
which the data item is obtained.\11\ Such information may be kept
confidential under exemption 4 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
if the submitter substantiates that it is confidential commercial or
financial information that is both customarily and actually treated as
private.\12\ In addition, items 1 through 4 of Schedule G, which
contain sensitive information regarding the reporting entity's
liquidity position, may be accorded confidential treatment under
exemption 4 until the first reporting date after the final liquidity
coverage ratio disclosure standard has been implemented. Information
collected on the FR Y-15 may also be considered confidential under FOIA
exemption 8 if it is obtained as part of an examination or supervision
of a financial institution.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ Several data items in the FR Y-15 are retrieved from the FR
Y-9C and other items may be retrieved from the FFIEC 101.
Confidential treatment will also extend to any automatically
calculated items on the FR Y-15 that have been derived from
confidential data items and that, if released, would reveal the
underlying confidential data.

\13\ 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(8).
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, June 30, 2022.
