a. Need for, and Objectives of, the
Lifeline Biennial Audit Plan

allow the independent auditors to
understand such differences between
Commission and state requirements.
6. Appendix B, Background
Questionnaire
17. We have revised Appendix B of
the Audit Plan to require ETCs to only
list the company’s supervisors if there
are more than ten individuals
responsible for determining eligibility
and recertification of Lifeline
subscribers.
7. Appendix C, Internal Control
Questionnaire
18. Recognizing that ETCs may have
multiple individuals who would
complete the Internal Control
Questionnaire, we have revised this
appendix to delete the requirement that
only one individual from each company
is required to complete the
questionnaire. Additionally, the
appendix has been revised to clarify or
remove certain questions deemed
unnecessary for the purpose of this
audit. These revisions also include the
addition of questions relating to the
ETC’s use of the NLAD.
8. Appendix F, Compliance
Requirements
19. The Audit Plan has been revised
to remove the appendix titled
‘‘Requested Documentation: USAC
Management’’ as it is no longer
necessary based on other revisions.
III. Procedual Matters
A. Paperwork Reduction Act
20. This document does not contain
proposed information collection(s)
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA), Public Law 104–13. In
addition, therefore, it does not contain
any new or modified information
collection burden for small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees,
pursuant to the Small Business
Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public
Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4).

B. Final Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
21. As Required by the Regulatory
Flexibility Act if 1980, as amended
(RFA), the Wireline Competition Bureau
(Bureau), in conjunction with the Office
of Managing Director (OMD), prepared
an Initial Regulatory Flexibility
Analysis (IRFA) incorporated in the
Public Notice on the Proposed Lifeline
Biennial Audit Plan. The Bureau, in
conjunction with OMD, sought written
public comment on the proposed Audit
Plan, including comment on the IRFA.
This present Final Regulatory Flexibility
Analysis (FRFA) conforms to the RFA.

22. This document sets forth the
standard procedures for independent
biennial audits of carriers drawing $5
million or more annually from the lowincome universal service support
program.
b. Legal Basis
23. The Public Notice, including
publication of proposed procedures, is
authorized under Sections 1, 2, 4(i)
through (j), 201(b), 254, 257, 303(r), and
503 of the Communications Act of 1934,
as amended, and Section 706 of the
Telecommunications Act of 1996, as
amended.
c. Description and Estimate of the
Number of Small Entities to Which the
Proposed Biennial Audit Plan Will
Apply
24. The RFA directs agencies to
provide a description of and, where
feasible, an estimate of the number of
small entities that may be affected by
the proposed Biennial Audit Plan. The
RFA generally defines the term ‘‘small
entity’’ as having the same meaning as
the terms ‘‘small business,’’ ‘‘small
organization,’’ and ‘‘small governmental
jurisdiction.’’ In addition, the term
‘‘small business’’ has the same meaning
as the term ‘‘small business concern’’
under the Small Business Act. A small
business concern is one that: (1) Is
independently owned and operated; (2)
is not dominant in its field of operation;
and (3) satisfies any additional criteria
established by the Small Business
Administration (SBA). Nationwide,
there are a total of approximately 29.6
million small businesses, according to
the SBA. A ‘‘small organization’’ is
generally ‘‘any not-for-profit enterprise
which is independently owned and
operated and is not dominant in its
field.’’ Nationwide, as of 2002, there
were approximately 1.6 million small
organizations. The term ‘‘small
governmental jurisdiction’’ is defined
generally as ‘‘governments of cities,
towns, townships, villages, school
districts, or special districts, with a
population of less than fifty thousand.’’
Census Bureau data for 2002 indicate
that there were 87,525 local
governmental jurisdictions in the
United States. We estimate that, of this
total, 84,377 entities were ‘‘small
governmental jurisdictions.’’ Thus, we
estimate that most governmental
jurisdictions are small.

information.
Proposal to approve under OMB
delegated authority the extension for
three years, without revision, of the
following information collections:
1. Report title: Notification of
Nonfinancial Data Processing Activities.
Agency form numbers: FR 4021.
OMB control number: 7100–0306.

552(b)(4)).
Abstract: Bank holding companies
submit this notification to request
permission to administer the 49-percent
revenue limit on nonfinancial data
processing activities on a business-line
or multiple-entity basis. A request may
be filed in a letter form; there is no
reporting form for this information
collection.

pursuant to section 23 of the Federal
Reserve Act, as added by section 308 of
the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991

the Federal Reserve does not collect any
information, no issue of confidentiality
normally arises. However, if a
compliance program becomes a Federal

Reserve record during an examination,
the information may be protected from
disclosure under exemptions (b)(4) and
(b)(8) of the Freedom of Information Act

78c(a)(4)(F)) and may be given
confidential treatment under the
authority of the Freedom of Information
Act (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (b)(8)).
Abstract: Regulation R implements
certain exceptions for banks from the
definition of broker under Section
3(a)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended by the Gramm-LeachBliley Act. Sections 701, 723, and 741
of Regulation R contain information
collection requirements. Section 701
requires banks that wish to utilize the
exemption in that section to make
certain disclosures to the high net worth
customer or institutional customer. In

exemption in that section to exclude
certain trust or fiduciary accounts in
determining its compliance with the
chiefly compensated test in section 721
to maintain certain records relating to
the excluded accounts. Section 741
requires a bank relying on the
exemption provided by that section to
provide customers with a prospectus for
the money market fund securities, not
later than the time the customer
authorizes the bank to effect the
transaction in such securities, if the
class of series of securities are not noload.
4. Report title: Registration of
Mortgage Loan Originators.
Agency form number: CFPB
Regulation G (12 CFR 1007).
OMB control number: 7100–0328.
Frequency: Annually.
Reporters: Employees of state member
banks, certain subsidiaries of state
member banks, branches and agencies of
foreign banks that are regulated by the
Federal Reserve, and commercial
lending companies of foreign banks who
act as residential mortgage loan
originators (MLOs).
Estimated annual reporting hours:
MLOs (new) Initial set up and
disclosure; 938 hours; MLOs (existing)
Maintenance and disclosure: 16,255
hours; MLOs (existing) Updates for
changes: 2,391 hours; Depository
Institutions and subsidiaries: 90,388
hours.
Estimated average time per response:
MLOs (new) Initial set up and
disclosure: 3.50 hours; MLOs (existing)
Maintenance and disclosure: .85 hours;
MLOs (existing) Updates for changes:
.25 hour; Depository Institutions and
subsidiaries: 118 hours.
Number of respondents: MLOs (new)
Initial set up and disclosure: 268; MLOs
(existing) Maintenance and disclosure:
19,124; MLOs (existing) Updates for
changes: 9,562; Depository Institutions,
and subsidiaries: 766.
General description of report: Section
1507 of the Secure and Fair
Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act
(the S.A.F.E. Act), 12 U.S.C. 5106,
requires that the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (CFPB) develop and
maintain a system for registering
individual MLOs of covered financial
institutions supervised directly by the
Bureau or regulated by a federal banking
agency with the Nationwide Mortgage
Licensing System and Registry. Section
1504 of the S.A.F.E. Act, 12 U.S.C. 5103,
requires that an individual desiring to
engage in the business of a loan
originator maintain an annual federal
registration (or be licensed by an
equivalent state regulatory scheme) and
appear on the Registry with a unique

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001

identifier. Section 1007.103 of
Regulation G implements this
registration scheme on behalf of the
Bureau, and Section 1007.105 of
Regulation G requires that covered
financial institutions provide the unique
identifiers of MLOs to consumers. 12
CFR 1007.103,–.105. This information
collection is mandatory.
The unique identifier of MLOs must
be made public and is not considered
confidential. In addition, most of the
information that MLOs submit in order
to register with the Nationwide
Mortgage Licensing System and Registry
will be publicly available. However,
certain identifying data on individuals
who act as MLOs are entitled to
confidential treatment under (b)(6) of
the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA),
which protects from disclosure
information that ‘‘would constitute a
clearly unwarranted invasion of
personal privacy.’’ 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6).
With respect to the information
collection requirements imposed on
depository institutions, because the
requirements are that depository
institutions retain their own records and
make certain disclosures to customers,
the FOIA would only be implicated if
the Federal Reserve’s examiners
obtained a copy of these records as part
of the examination or supervision
process of a financial institution.
However, records obtained in this
manner are exempt from disclosure
under FOIA exemption (b)(8), regarding
examination-related materials. 5 U.S.C.
552(b)(8).
Abstract: On July 28, 2010, the
Federal Reserve amended Regulation H
to implement the Secure and Fair
Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act
(the S.A.F.E. Act) with respect to its
regulated entities, enacted July 30,
2008.1 On July 21, 2011, provisions of
the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (DoddFrank Act) transferred certain S.A.F.E.
Act responsibilities to the CFPB,
including rulemaking authority for all
federal depository institutions and
supervisory authority for S.A.F.E. Act
compliance for entities under the
CFPB’s jurisdiction. On December 19,
2011, the CFPB published an interim
final rule establishing a new Regulation
G,2 S.A.F.E. ACT Mortgage Licensing
Act—Federal Registration of Residential
Mortgage Loan Originators.3 The CFPB’s
rule did not impose any new
substantive obligations on regulated
1 75 FR 44656 (July 28, 2010). See also the revised
Federal Register preamble at 75 FR 51623 (August
23, 2010).

persons or entities. The Federal Reserve
retains supervisory authority for
S.A.F.E. Act compliance for most
Federal Reserve-supervised entities with
consolidated assets of $10 billion or
less.
The CFPB’s Regulation G requires
employees of state member banks,
certain subsidiaries of state member
banks, branches and agencies of foreign
banks that are regulated by the Federal
Reserve, and commercial lending
companies of foreign banks who act as
residential mortgage loan originators
(MLOs) to register with the Nationwide
Mortgage Licensing System and Registry
(NMLSR), obtain a unique identifier,
maintain this registration, and disclose
to consumers upon request and through
the NMLSR their unique identifier, and
the MLO’s employment history and
publicly adjudicated disciplinary and
enforcement actions. The CFPB’s
regulation also requires the institutions
employing these MLOs to adopt and
follow written policies and procedures
to ensure their employees comply with
these requirements and to disclose the
unique identifiers of their MLOs.
5. Report title: Recordkeeping and
Disclosure Requirements Associated
with Securities Transactions Pursuant to
Regulation H.
Agency form number: Reg H–3.
OMB control number: 7100–0196.
Frequency: On occasion.
Reporters: State member banks.
Estimated annual reporting hours:
97,869 hours.
Estimated average time per response:

State member banks with trust
departments: recordkeeping, 2 hours;
disclosure, 16 hours. State member
banks without trust departments:
recordkeeping, 15 minutes; disclosure, 5
hours.
Number of respondents: State member
banks (de novo): 3; state member banks
with trust departments: 228; state
member banks without trust
departments: 615.
General description of report:
Regulation H requirements are
authorized by Section 23 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (‘‘the
34 Act’’), 15 U.S.C. 78w, which
empowers the Federal Reserve to make
rules and regulations implementing
those portions of the 34 Act for which
it is responsible. The requirements of 12
CFR 208.34(c), (d), & (g) also are
impliedly authorized by Section 9 of the
Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. 325,
which requires state member banks to
submit to examinations by the Federal
Reserve System. These securities
transactions requirements appear to be

E:\FR\FM\18APN1.SGM

18APN1

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 75 / Friday, April 18, 2014 / Notices
reasonably related to the Federal
Reserve’s supervisory authority with
respect to the safety and soundness of
state member banks.
Accordingly, the Federal Reserve is
authorized by implication under 12
U.S.C. 325 to impose these
recordkeeping, disclosure, and policy
establishment requirements. The
obligation of a state member bank to
comply with the Regulation H
requirements is mandatory, save for the
limited exceptions set forth in 12 CFR
208.34(a).
Inasmuch as the Federal Reserve
System does not collect or receive any
information concerning securities
transactions pursuant to these
requirements, no issues of
confidentiality normally will arise. If,
however, these records were to come
into the possession of the Federal
Reserve, they may be protected from
disclosure pursuant to exemption 4 of
the Freedom of Information Act
(‘‘FOIA’’), 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4), under the
standards set forth in National Parks &
Conservation Ass’n v. Morton, 498 F.2d
765 (D.C. Cir. 1974), to the extent an
institution can establish the potential
for substantial competitive harm. They
also may be subject to withholding
under FOIA exemption 6, 5 U.S.C.
552(b)(6), should disclosure constitute
an unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy. Additionally, if such
information were included in the work
papers of System examiners or
abstracted in System reports of
examination, the information also
would be protected under exemption 8
of FOIA, 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(8). Any
withholding determination would be
made on a case-by-case basis in
response to a specific request for
disclosure of the information.
Abstract: The Federal Reserve’s
Regulation H requires state member
banks to maintain records for three
years following a securities transaction.
These requirements are necessary to
protect the customer, to avoid or settle
customer disputes, and to protect the
institution against potential liability
arising under the anti-fraud and insider
trading provisions of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934.

Federal Reserve Act.4
Estimated annual reporting hours:

Estimated average time per response:
State member banks: 242 hours;
mortgage subsidiaries: 192 hours.
Number of respondents: State member
banks: 514; mortgage subsidiaries: 17.
General description of report: Section
304(j) of the Home Mortgage Disclosure
Act (HMDA), which requires the
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
(CFPB) to prescribe by regulation the
form of a LAR that must be maintained
by lending institutions, is mandatory for
covered institutions. Regulation C
implements this statutory provision and
requires that reports be sent to the
appropriate federal banking agency.
HMDA requires that the LAR be made
available to the public in the form
prescribed by the CFPB. The CFPB is
authorized to require certain deletions
from the LAR information to protect the
privacy of applicants and to protect
depository institutions from liability
under Federal or state privacy law. The
deleted information is exempt from
disclosure under that provision of
HMDA and pursuant to Exemption 6 of
the Freedom of Information Act (5
U.S.C. 552(b)(6)).
Abstract: HMDA was enacted in 1975
and is implemented by Regulation C.
HMDA requires depository and certain
for-profit, non-depository institutions to
collect, report to regulators, and disclose
to the public data about originations and
purchases of home mortgage loans
(home purchase and refinancing) and
home improvement loans, as well as
loan applications that do not result in
originations (for example, applications
that are denied or withdrawn). HMDA
was enacted to provide the public with
loan data that can be used to: (1) Help
determine whether financial institutions
are serving the housing needs of their
communities, (2) assist public officials
in distributing public-sector
investments so as to attract private
investment to areas where it is needed,
and (3) assist in identifying possible
discriminatory lending patterns and
enforcing anti-discrimination statutes.5
4 The CFPB supervises, among other institutions,
insured depository institutions with over $10
billion in assets and their affiliates (including
affiliates that are themselves depository institutions
regardless of asset size and subsidiaries of such
affiliates).
