General Description of Collection. In 2008, the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency, the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, and the FDIC issued a supervisory guidance document
related to the supervisory review process of capital adequacy (Pillar
2) in connection with the implementation of the Basel II Advanced
Capital Framework. Sections 37, 41, 43 and 46 of the guidance include
possible information collections. Section 37 provides that banks should
state clearly the definition of capital used in any aspect of its
internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP) and document any
changes in the internal definition of capital. Section 41 provides that
banks should maintain thorough documentation of its ICAAP. Section 43
specifies that the board of directors should approve the bank's ICAAP,
review it on a regular basis, and approve any changes. Section 46
recommends that boards of directors periodically review the assessment
of overall capital adequacy and analyze how measures of internal
capital adequacy compare with other capital measures such as regulatory
or accounting. There has been no change in the method or substance of
this information collection, the burden is unchanged from the 2021
burden estimate.

General Description of Collection: This information collection
request comprises disclosure and recordkeeping requirements under the
credit risk retention rule issued pursuant to section 15G of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78o-11), as added by section
941 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
(Dodd-Frank).\1\ The Credit Risk Retention rule (the Rule) was jointly
issued in 2015 by the FDIC, the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC), the Federal Reserve Board (Board'', the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the Commission) and, with respect to the portions
of the Rule addressing the securitization of residential mortgages, the
Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) and the Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD).\2\ The FDIC regulations corresponding to the
Rule are found at 12 CFR part 373.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Public Law 111-2-3, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010).
\2\ 79 FR 77740.
\3\ Each agency adopted the same rule text but each agency's
version of its rule is codified in different parts of the Code of
Federal Regulations with substantially identical section numbers
(e.g., __.01; .__02, etc.). Rule citations herein are to FDIC's
version of the Rule which is codified at 12 CFR part 373.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 941 of Dodd-Frank requires the Board, the FDIC, the OCC
(collectively, the Federal banking agencies), the Commission and, in
the case of the securitization of any ``residential mortgage asset,''
together with HUD and FHFA, to jointly prescribe regulations that (i)
require an issuer of an asset-backed security or a person who organizes
and initiates an asset backed securities transaction by selling or
transferring assets, either directly or indirectly, including through
an affiliate, to the issuer (issuer or organizer) to retain not less
than five percent of the credit risk of any asset that the issuer or
organizer, through the issuance of an asset-backed security (ABS),
transfers, sells or conveys to a third party and (ii) prohibit an
issuer or organizer from directly or indirectly hedging or otherwise
transferring the credit risk that the issuer or organizer is required
to retain under section 941 and the agencies' implementing rules.
Exempted from the credit risk retention requirements of section 941 are
certain types of securitization transactions, including ABS
collateralized solely by qualified residential mortgages (QRMs), as
that term is defined in the Rule. In addition, section 941 provides
that the agencies must permit an issuer or organizer to retain less
than five percent of the credit risk of residential mortgage loans,
commercial real estate (CRE) loans, commercial loans and automobile
loans that are transferred, sold or conveyed through the issuance of
ABS by the issuer or organizer, if the loans meet underwriting
standards established by the Federal banking agencies.
The FDIC implemented section 941 of Dodd-Frank through 12 CFR part
373 (the Rule). The Rule defines a securitizer as (1) the depositor of
the asset-backed securities (if the depositor is not the sponsor); or
(2) the sponsor of the asset-backed securities.\4\ The Rule provides a
menu of credit risk retention options from which securitizers can
choose and sets out the standards, including disclosure, recordkeeping,
and reporting requirements, for each option; identifies the eligibility
criteria, including certification and disclosure requirements, that
must be met for ABS offerings to qualify for the QRM and other
exemptions; specifies the underwriting standards for CRE loans,
commercial loans and automobile loans, as well as disclosure,
certification and recordkeeping requirements, that must be met for ABS
issuances collateralized by such loans to qualify for reduced credit
risk retention; and sets forth the circumstances under which retention
[[Page 100495]]
obligations may be allocated by sponsors to originators, including
disclosure and monitoring requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 12 CFR 373.2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 373 contains several requirements that qualify as information
collections under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). The
information collection requirements are found in 12 CFR 373.4, 373.5,
373.6, 373.7, 373.8, 373.9, 373.10, 373.11, 373.13, 373.15, 373.16,
373.17, 373.18, and 373.19(g). The recordkeeping requirements relate
primarily to (i) the adoption and maintenance of various policies and
procedures to ensure and monitor compliance with regulatory
requirements and (ii) certifications, including as to the effectiveness
of internal supervisory controls. The required disclosures for each
risk retention option are intended to provide investors with material
information concerning the sponsor's retained interest in a
securitization transaction (e.g., the amount, form and nature of the
retained interest, material assumptions and methodology,
representations and warranties). Compliance with the information
collection requirements is mandatory, responses to the information
collections will not be kept confidential and, with the exception of
the recordkeeping requirements in 12 CFR 373.4(d), 373.5(k)(3), and
373.15(d), the Rule does not specify a mandatory retention period for
the information.
Request for Comment
Comments are invited on (a) whether the collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance of the FDIC's functions,
including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the
accuracy of the estimates of the burden of the 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; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology. All
comments will become a matter of public record.
