Section 165(i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Act requires certain financial companies, including national banks and Federal savings associations, to conduct annual stress tests and requires the primary financial regulatory agency of those financial companies to issue regulations implementing the stress test requirements. The OCC issued an anuual stress test rule to meet this requirement in 2012. The OCC also issued related reporting templates for institutions with consolidated assets of over $50 billion in 2012.
The revisions to the DFAST-14A reporting templates consist of the following:
⢠Adding line items to the Regulatory Capital Instruments Schedule.
⢠Updating the Summary Schedule to collect items related to the supplementary leverage ratio.
⢠Removing sub-schedules of the Operational Risk Schedule for all covered institutions and adding sub-schedules to the Operational Risk Schedule for a subset of covered institutions.
⢠Creating a new supplemental schedule to collect certain items not included in the Boardâs FR Y-14A.
⢠Requiring a bank-specific scenario. Covered institutions would be required to submit bank-specific baseline and stress scenarios.
⢠Requiring the assumption of largest counterparty default. The largest trading covered institutions that also submit the Global Market Shock scenario would be required to assume the default of their largest counterparty in the supervisory severely adverse and adverse scenarios.
The change is burden is due to the fact that more respondents are expected to complete the templates. Also, the OCCâs burden estimate is based upon the Boardâs estimate of the burden of completing the FR Y-14A reporting form, which is very similar to these reporting templates. To the extent the burden of completing the FR Y-14A increases or decreases, the burden of completing the OCCâs reporting templates will also increase or decrease.
