A bank holding company (BHC) that
acquired voting securities or assets through foreclosure in the
ordinary course of collecting a debt previously contracted (DPC)
may not retain ownership of those shares or assets for more than
two years without prior Federal Reserve approval. There is no
formal reporting form (the FR 4006 designation is for internal
purposes only) and each request for extension must be filed with
the Reserve Bank that has direct supervisory responsibility for the
BHC. The FR 4006 is required to obtain the Reserve Bank’s consent
to hold DPC shares or assets beyond the two- year permissible
holding period. The Federal Reserve uses the information provided
in the request to fulfill its statutory obligation to supervise
BHCs.
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.
