SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.),
Federal agencies must obtain approval from the OMB for each collection
of information that they conduct or sponsor. ``Collection of
information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) to
include agency requests or requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party.
The OCC asks the OMB to extend its approval of the collection in this
notice.
Title: Market Risk.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0247.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Individuals; Businesses or other for-profit.
Description: The OCC's market risk capital rule (12 CFR part 3,
subpart F) applies to national banks and Federal savings associations
with significant exposure to market risk, which include those national
banks and Federal savings associations with aggregate trading assets
and trading liabilities (as reported in the national bank's or Federal
savings association's most recent Call Report) equal to 10 percent or
more of quarter-end total assets or $1 billion or more. The rule
captures positions for which the market risk capital rule is
appropriate, reduces procyclicality in market risk capital
requirements, enhances the risk sensitivity of the OCC's capital
requirements by measuring risks that are not adequately captured under
the requirements for credit risk, and increases transparency through
enhanced disclosures.
The information collection requirements are located at 12 CFR 3.203
through 3.212. The rule enhances risk sensitivity and includes
requirements for the public disclosure of certain qualitative and
quantitative information about the market risk of national banks and
Federal savings associations. The collection of information is
necessary to ensure capital adequacy appropriate for the level of
market risk.
Section 3.203 sets forth the requirements for applying the market
risk framework. Section 3.203(a)(1) requires national banks and Federal
savings associations to have clearly defined policies and procedures
for determining which trading assets and trading liabilities are
trading positions and specifies the factors a national bank or Federal
savings association must consider in drafting those policies and
procedures. Section 3.203(a)(2) requires national banks and Federal
savings associations to have clearly defined trading and hedging
strategies for trading positions that are approved by senior management
and specifies what those strategies must articulate. Section
3.203(b)(1) requires national banks and Federal savings associations to
have
[[Page 27388]]
clearly defined policies and procedures for actively managing all
covered positions and specifies the minimum requirements for those
policies and procedures. Section 3.203(c)(1) requires national banks
and Federal savings associations to obtain prior written approval of
the OCC before using any internal model to calculate their risk-based
capital requirements under the rule. Sections 3.203(c)(4) through
3.203(c)(10) require the review, at least annually, of internal models
and specify certain requirements for those models. Section 3.203(d)(4)
requires the internal audit group of a national bank or Federal savings
association to report to the board of directors, at least annually, on
the effectiveness of controls supporting the market risk measurement
systems.
Section 3.204(b) requires national banks and Federal savings
associations to conduct quarterly backtesting. Section 3.205(a)(5)
requires institutions to demonstrate to the OCC the appropriateness of
any proxies used to capture risks within value-at-risk models. Section
3.205(c) requires institutions to develop, retain, and make available
to the OCC value-at-risk and profit and loss information on sub-
portfolios for two years. Section 3.206(b)(3) requires national banks
and Federal savings associations 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 OCC approval for any material changes to these policies
and procedures.
Section 3.207(b)(1) details requirements applicable to a national
bank or Federal savings association when the national bank or Federal
savings association uses internal models to measure the specific risk
of certain covered positions. Section 3.208 requires national banks and
Federal savings associations to obtain prior OCC approval for
incremental risk modeling of portfolios of equity positions and
describes the requirements for incremental risk modeling. Section 3.209
requires prior OCC approval for the use of a comprehensive risk measure
and describes applicable requirements. Section 3.209(c)(2) requires
national banks and Federal savings associations to retain and make
available to the OCC the results of supervisory stress testing. Section
3.210(f) requires national banks and Federal savings associations to
document an internal analysis of the risk characteristics of each
securitization position in order to demonstrate to the OCC an
understanding of the position. Section 3.212 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.
Estimated Burden: 1,964.
Estimated Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 17.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 33,388 hours.
Comments: On April 18, 2025, the OCC published a 60-day notice for
this information collection, 90 FR 16590. No comments were received.
Comments continue to be invited on:
(a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the OCC, including whether the
information has practical utility;

collection of information;

information to be collected;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
