The FR Y-7N and FR Y-7NS collect financial information for non-functionally regulated U.S. nonbank subsidiaries held by foreign banking organizations (FBOs) other than through a U.S. bank holding company (BHC), financial holding company (FHC), or U.S. bank. FBOs file the FR Y-7N quarterly or annually or the FR Y-7NS annually predominantly based on asset size thresholds. The FR Y-7Q collects consolidated regulatory capital information from all FBOs either quarterly or annually. The FR Y-7Q is filed quarterly by FBOs that have effectively elected to become U.S. FHCs and by FBOs that have total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more, regardless of FHC status. All other FBOs file the FR Y-7Q annually.

The current annual reporting burden for this family of reports is estimated to be 5,227 hours. The proposed revisions to the FR Y-7Q would result in an increase in burden of 680 hours due to the increase in estimated average hours per response from 1.75 to 3. However, the number of FR Y-7N and FR Y-7NS respondents is estimated to decrease by 154, from 269 to 115, due to the designation by certain foreign banking organizations of IHCs. As a result of these changes, the total annual burden for this family of reports would decrease to an estimated 3,108 hours.
