    General Description of Collection: Section 17A(c) of the Security 
Exchange Act of 1934 (the Act) requires all transfer agents for 
securities registered under section 12 of the Act or, if the security 
would be required to be registered except for the exemption from 
registration provided by section 12(g)(2)(B) or section 12(g)(2)(G), to 
``fil[e] with the appropriate regulatory agency . . . an application 
for registration in such form and containing such information and 
documents . . . as such appropriate regulatory agency may prescribe as 
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of this 
section.'' In general, an entity performing transfer agent functions 
for a security is required to register with its appropriate regulatory 
agency if the security is registered on a national securities exchange 
or if the issuer of the security has total assets exceeding $10 million 
and a class of equity security held of record by 2,000 persons or, for 
an issuer that is not a bank, bank holding company, or savings and loan 
holding company, by 500 persons who are not accredited investors. The 
Federal Reserve Board of Governors' Regulation H (12 CFR 208.31(a)) and 
Regulation Y (12 CFR 225.4(d)), the OCC's 12 CFR 9.20, and the FDIC's 
12 CFR part 341 implement these provisions of the Act. To accomplish 
the registration of transfer agents, Form TA-1 was developed in 1975 as 
an interagency effort by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the 
agencies. The agencies primarily use the data collected on Form TA-1 to 
determine whether an application for registration should be approved, 
denied, accelerated or postponed, and they use the data in connection 
with their supervisory responsibilities. There is no change in the 
methodology or substance of this information collection. The estimated 
burden remains unchanged from the previous submission.

    General Description of Collection: The FDIC's market risk capital 
rules (12 CFR part 324, subpart F) enhance risk sensitivity, increase 
transparency through enhanced disclosures and include requirements for 
the public disclosure of certain qualitative and quantitative 
information about the market risk of State nonmember banks and State 
savings associations (covered FDIC-supervised institutions). The market 
risk rule applies only if a bank holding company or bank has aggregated 
trading assets and trading liabilities equal to 10 percent or more of 
quarter-end total assets or $1 billion or more (covered FDIC-supervised 
institutions). Currently, only one FDIC regulated entity meets the 
criteria of the information collection requirements that are located at 
12 CFR 324.203 through 324.212. The collection of information is 
necessary to ensure capital adequacy appropriate for the level of 
market risk. Section 324.203(a)(1) requires covered FDIC-supervised 
institutions to have clearly defined policies and procedures for 
determining which trading assets and trading liabilities are trading 
positions and specifies the factors a covered FDIC-supervised 
institution must take into account in drafting those policies and 
procedures. Section 324.203(a)(2) requires covered FDIC supervised 
institutions to have clearly defined trading and hedging strategies for 
trading positions that are approved by senior management and specifies 
what the strategies must articulate. Section 324.203(b)(1) requires 
covered FDIC-supervised institutions to have clearly defined policies 
and procedures for actively managing all covered positions and 
specifies the minimum requirements for those policies and procedures. 
Sections 324.203(c)(4) through (10) require the annual review of 
internal models and specify certain requirements for those models. 
Section 324.203(d) requires the internal audit group of a covered FDIC 
supervised institution to prepare an annual report to the board of 
directors on the effectiveness of controls supporting the market risk 
measurement systems. Section 324.204(b) requires covered FDIC-
supervised institutions to conduct quarterly back testing. Section 
324.205(a)(5) requires institutions to demonstrate to the FDIC the 
appropriateness of proxies used to capture risks within value-at-risk 
models. Section 324.205(c) requires institutions to develop, retain, 
and make available to the FDIC value-at-risk and profit and loss 
information on sub portfolios for two years. Section 324.206(b)(3) 
requires covered FDIC supervised institutions to have policies and 
procedures that describe how they determine the period of significant 
financial stress used to calculate the institution's stressed value-at-
risk models and to obtain prior FDIC approval for any material changes 
to these policies and procedures. Section 324.207(b)(1) details 
requirements applicable to a covered FDIC-supervised institution when 
the covered FDICsupervised institution uses internal models to measure 
the specific risk of certain covered positions. Section 324.208 
requires covered FDIC-supervised institutions to obtain prior written 
FDIC approval for including equity positions in its incremental risk 
modeling. Section 324.209(a) requires prior FDIC approval for the use 
of a comprehensive risk measure. Section 324.209(c)(2) requires covered 
FDIC-supervised institutions to retain and report the results of 
supervisory stress testing. Section 324.210(f)(2)(i) requires covered 
FDIC-supervised institutions to document an internal analysis of the 
risk characteristics of each securitization position in order to 
demonstrate an understanding of the position. Section 324.212 applies 
to certain covered FDIC-supervised institutions that are not 
subsidiaries of bank holding companies, and requires quarterly 
quantitative disclosures, annual qualitative disclosures, and a formal 
disclosure policy approved by the board of directors that addresses the 
approach for determining the market risk disclosures it makes. The 
total estimated annual burden is 428 hours, which is a reduction of 
4,032 hours from the 2022 submission. This reduction is due to a change 
in agency estimates. The FDIC's estimates significantly lowered because 
respondent institutions have generally already received prior approval 
for incremental risk modeling and the use of a comprehensive risk 
measure for one or more portfolios of correlation trading positions. 
Therefore, the agency predicts these respondents will not re-submit 
these models for approval, reducing the overall burden hours.

    General Description of Collection: The Interagency Guidance on 
Leveraged Lending (Guidance) outlines for agency-supervised 
institutions high-level principles related to safe-and-sound leveraged 
lending activities, including underwriting considerations, assessing 
and documenting enterprise value, risk management expectations for 
credits awaiting distribution, stress testing expectations, pipeline 
portfolio management, and risk management expectations for exposures 
held by the institution. The total estimated annual burden for this 
information collection is 25,321 hours. This represents an increase of 
23,805 from the 2023 information collection. The increase is driven by 
the change in methodology to estimate the annual number of responses 
per respondent based on an analysis of historical data and new data 
since the 2023 collection.
