Request for Comment on Information Collection Proposal
The Board invites public comment on the following information

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 information collection, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
[[Page 63070]]

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

Proposal Under OMB Delegated Authority To Extend for Three Years, With
Revision, the Following Information Collection
Collection title: Reporting Requirements Associated with Regulation
Y for Extension of Time to Conform to the Volcker Rule.
Collection identifier: FR Y-1.
OMB control number: 7100-0333.
Frequency: Annual, event-generated.
Respondents: Insured depository institutions (other than certain
limited-purpose trust institutions and any insured depository
institution that has, and if every company that controls it has, total
consolidated assets of $10 billion or less and total trading assets and
trading liabilities, on a consolidated basis, that are 5 percent or
less of total consolidated assets), any company that controls such an
insured depository institution, any company that is treated as a bank
holding company for purposes of section 8 of the International Banking
Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 3106), and any affiliate or subsidiary of any of
the foregoing, and nonbank financial companies designated by the
Financial Stability Oversight Council that engage in proprietary
trading activities or make investments in covered funds.
Estimated number of respondents: 1.
Estimated average hours per response: 12.
Estimated annual burden hours: 12.
General description of report: The Board's Regulation Y--Bank
Holding Companies and Change in Bank Control (12 CFR part 225, subpart
K) provides that a banking entity or Board-supervised nonbank financial
company may, under certain circumstances, request an extension of time
to conform its activities to the requirements of section 13 of the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956 (BHC Act),\1\ also known as the Volcker
Rule.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 12 U.S.C. 1851.
\2\ The term ``banking entity'' is defined in section 13(h)(1)
of the BHC Act (12 U.S.C. 1851(h)(1)). The term means any insured
depository institution (other than certain limited-purpose trust
institutions and any insured depository institution that has, and if
every company that controls it has, total consolidated assets of $10
billion or less and total trading assets and trading liabilities, on
a consolidated basis, that are 5 percent or less of total
consolidated assets), any company that controls such an insured
depository institution, any company that is treated as a bank
holding company for purposes of section 8 of the International
Banking Act of 1978 (12 U.S.C. 3106), and any affiliate or
subsidiary of any of the foregoing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proposed revisions: The Board proposes to revise the FR Y-1 to no
longer include a provision related to extended transition periods for
illiquid funds for banking entities since they were required to
completely divest from such funds by July 21, 2022.
Legal authorization and confidentiality: The Volcker Rule
specifically authorizes the Board to issue rules to permit entities
covered by the Volcker Rule to seek conformance period extensions (12
U.S.C. 1851(c)(6)). The Board also has the authority to require reports
from bank holding companies (12 U.S.C. 1844(c)), savings and loan
holding companies (12 U.S.C. 1467a(b) and (g)), and state member banks
(12 U.S.C. 248(a) and 324). The information collections in the FR Y-1
are required for covered entities that decide to seek an extension of
time to conform their activities or investments to the Volcker Rule.
The obligation to respond, therefore, is required to obtain a benefit.
To the extent that information submitted in response to the FR Y-1
constitutes nonpublic commercial or financial information, which is
both customarily and actually treated as private by the respondent, it
may be kept confidential under exemption 4 of the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)). Exemption 4 protects ``trade
secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person
and [that is] privileged or confidential.''
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, October 13,
2022.
Michele Taylor Fennell,
Deputy Associate Secretary of the Board.
