The Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council (FFIEC), of which the Board, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) (the agencies) are members,
adopted revised regulatory capital rules in July 2013 (revised
regulatory capital rules). The FFIEC 102 reflects those rules and
collect key information from respondents on how they measure and
calculate market risk under the agencies’ revised regulatory
capital rules. The FDIC and the OCC have also submitted a similar
request for OMB review for institutions under their supervision.
Each market risk institution files the FFIEC 102 for the agencies’
use in assessing the reasonableness and accuracy of the
institution’s calculation of its minimum capital requirements under
the market risk capital rule and in evaluating the institution’s
capital in relation to its risks. Additionally, the market risk
information collected in the FFIEC 102 (1) permits the agencies to
monitor the market risk profile of and evaluate the impact and
competitive implications of the market risk capital rule on
individual market risk institutions and the industry as a whole;
(2) provides the most current statistical data available to
identify areas of market risk on which to focus for onsite and
offsite examinations; (3) allows the agencies to assess and monitor
the levels and components of each reporting institution’s
risk-based capital requirements for market risk and the adequacy of
the institution’s capital under the market risk capital rule; and
(4) assists market risk institutions to implement and validate the
market risk framework. In the Board’s case, state member banks
(SMBs), bank holding companies (BHCs), and savings and loan holding
companies (SLHCs) subject to the market risk rules are required to
file the FFIEC 102.
The current annual reporting
burden for FFIEC 102 is estimated to be 1,344 hours and would
increase to 1,488 hours. The change in the number of respondents
reflects the addition of two IHCs and GECC to the Board’s
respondent panel.
