The FR H-(b)11 collects from most
top-tier savings and loan holding companies information on filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports provided by
the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations and
securities analysts, supplemental information for select questions
from the Quarterly Savings and Loan Holding Company Report (FR
2320; OMB No. 7100-0345), financial statements, and other
materially important events and exhibits. The Federal Reserve uses
the FR H-(b)11 data to analyze the overall financial condition of
SLHCs to ensure safe and sound operations.
The decrease in burden hours is
attributed to 1)decrease in the respondent count and 2)a revision
to the reporting requirement that now applies only those savings
and loan holding companies that are currently exempt from filing
the Federal Reserve's existing regulatory reports.
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
