will consider all comments received from the public and other agencies.

PRA OMB submission, including the draft reporting form and 
instructions, supporting statement (which contains more detail about 
the information collection and burden estimates than this notice), and

Request for Comment on Information Collection Proposal

    The Board invites public comment on the following information 
collection, which is being reviewed under authority delegated by the 
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;
    c. Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
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.

Proposal Under OMB Delegated Authority To Extend for Three Years, With 
Revision, the Following Information Collection

    Collection title: Annual Daylight Overdraft Capital Report for U.S. 
Branches and Agencies of Foreign Banks.
    Collection identifier: FR 2225.
    OMB control number: 7100-0216.
    General description of collection: The Annual Daylight Overdraft 
Capital Report for U.S. Branches and Agencies of Foreign Banks is 
required for foreign banking organizations (FBOs) that wish to, and are 
eligible to, establish a non-zero net debit cap for their U.S. branches 
and agencies under the Federal Reserve Policy on Payment System Risk 
(PSR policy).
    Proposed revisions: The Board proposes the following changes to the 
FR 2225 form and instructions that will help clarify ambiguities, and 
requests additional data fields that will assist Federal Reserve system 
staff with verifying the information submitted by FBOs. In addition to 
electronic submission via electronic communication, FBOs will be 
permitted to submit the FR 2225 through Reporting Central, a platform 
used for submission of other Federal Reserve reports. The proposed 
revisions are described below and are intended to be effective March 
2026.
    Adding institution identifiers--The Board is proposing to add the 
RSSD ID fields (for both the foreign bank and the U.S. branch or agency 
responding for the foreign bank) and the ABA Number (for the U.S. 
branch or agency only). The information will assist staff at the 
Administrative Reserve Bank to accurately process the submissions in 
cases such as where the foreign bank has a complex multi-tiered system 
with multiple U.S. branches of agencies.
    Clarifying reporting option 1.b--Currently, the reporting option in 
1.b allows the respondents to select one of two options for reporting 
their worldwide capital ``Equity only'' or ``Total qualifying 
capital.'' The Board is proposing to relabel the reporting option in 
1.b from ``Equity only'' to ``Tier 1 capital.'' The instructions to the 
form currently clarify that the ``Equity only'' option is the core 
capital under the Basel Capital Accords. Core capital is also known as 
the Tier 1 capital. The clarification in the form and instructions will 
help to ensure that respondents report the Tier 1 capital and not the 
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (a component of Tier 1) given the 
reference to ``Equity'' in the reporting option.
    Adding a request that institutions provide supporting 
documentation--The Board is proposing to add language requesting that 
the institution attach or provide links to supporting documentation for 
the figures reported in Items 1 and 2.
    Adding a request that respondents identify legal entity 
reorganizations--The Board is proposing a new field requesting 
information on whether there have been reorganizations for the foreign 
banks that have impacted the worldwide capital and, if so, to provide 
an explanation. Requesting this information will assist staff at the 
Administrative Reserve Bank with verifying the values provided.
    Clarifying the Authorized Officer signature requirement--The Board 
is clarifying that the Authorized Officer signing the FR 2225 must be 
listed on the Federal Reserve's Official Authorization List (OAL) and 
must submit their name and title. Individuals on the OAL are authorized 
to execute agreements, transact business, and issue instructions on 
behalf of the respondents. Therefore, this clarification will ensure 
that an individual has the authority to submit the FR 2225.
    Adding clarifying suggestions to fields--The Board is proposing 
adding suggestions to the response fields by referencing language from 
the instructions to the FR 2225. In addition, the full date for the 
fiscal year ending field is required. Further, the FR 2225 respondents 
are requested to provide full amounts of values without rounding. These 
clarifications and suggestions will assist the respondents with 
accurately filing the FR 2225 and will also result in fewer erroneous 
submissions of data.
    Updating contact information fields--The Board is proposing to add 
an email field for a contact at the responding entity who may be 
contacted in cases where staff at the Administrative Reserve Bank has a 
question about the submission.
    Allowing submission of the form in Reporting Central--The Board is 
proposing that respondents will be able to submit the FR 2225 through 
Reporting Central in addition to the currently-available mechanism for 
submitting the form as a PDF through electronic mail. Reporting Central 
will provide an efficient method for submitting the form and any other 
supporting statements.
    Removing address fields for physical submission of the form to the 
Administrative Reserve Bank--The Board is proposing to eliminate the 
address fields at the end of the form that correspond to the 
Administrative Reserve Bank receiving the form. The fields are no 
longer required given that the FR 2225 will be submitted electronically 
either via email or through Reporting Central.
    Frequency: Annually, event-generated.
    Respondents: FBOs with U.S. branches or agencies that wish to and 
are eligible to establish a non-zero net debit cap for their U.S. 
branches and agencies under the PSR policy.
    Total estimated number of respondents: 48.
    Total estimated change in burden: 6.
    Total estimated annual burden hours: 45.

    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, September 25, 
2025.
Erin M. Cayce,
Assistant Secretary of the Board.
