National banks file Call Reports
pursuant to 12 U.S.C. 161 and other statutes. The data are used to
evaluate and monitor the financial condition and earnings
performance of individual banks as well as the entire banking
industry. The current proposed changes would become effective June
30, 2011. The changes would implement assessment-related reporting
revisions. The agencies are proceeding with the proposed new data
items to support the FDIC's calculation of deposit insurance
assessments in accordance with its February 2011 final rule. The
instructions for new data items have been modified in response to
comments.
The unanticipated
outcome at the end of the public comment process for the agencies
March 2011 initial PRA notice resulted in the need to develop and
reach agreement on a workable transition approach for identifying
loans that are to be reported as subprime or leveraged for
assessment purposes. As a result, the timeframes required for
regular PRA clearance could not be met. Without emergency
clearance, it is reasonably likely that the initial collection of
these new assessment data as of the June 30, 2011 would be
disrupted.
The change in burden associated
with this request for emergency clearance is caused by two factors:
(1) the FDIC's implementation of a final rule adopted February 7,
2011, that (a) redefines the assessment base for insured depository
institutions in accordance with Section 31(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act
and (b) revises the system used to set assessment rates for "large
institutions" and "highly complex institutions" by using a
scorecard that combines CAMELS ratings and certain forward-looking
financial measures to assess the risk such institutions pose to the
DIF, and (2) a net decrease in the number of reporting institutions
supervised by the OCC.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
