60-Day Federal Register Notice

asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 227 / Friday, November 25, 2016 / Notices
comply with a Congressional mandate
contained in section 7 of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Reform Conforming
Amendments Act of 2005 (‘‘Reform
Act’’) (Pub. L. 109–173), which calls for
the FDIC to conduct ongoing surveys
‘‘on efforts by insured depository
institutions to bring those individuals
and families who have rarely, if ever,
held a checking account, a savings
account or other type of transaction or
check cashing account at an insured
depository institution (hereafter in this
section referred to as the ‘unbanked’)
into the conventional finance system.’’
Section 7 further instructs the FDIC to
consider several factors in its conduct of
the surveys, including: (1) ‘‘what
cultural, language and identification
issues as well as transaction costs
appear to most prevent ‘unbanked’
individuals from establishing
conventional accounts’’; and (2) ‘‘what
is a fair estimate of the size and worth
of the ‘‘unbanked’’ market in the United
States.’’ The National Survey of
Unbanked and Underbanked
Households is designed to address these
factors and provide a factual basis on
the proportions of unbanked
households. Such a factual basis is
necessary to adequately assess banks’
efforts to serve these households as
required by the statutory mandate.
To obtain this information, the FDIC
partnered with the U.S. Census Bureau,
which administered the Household
Survey supplement (‘‘FDIC
Supplement’) to households that
participated in the January 2009, June
2011, June 2013 and June 2015 CPS. The
results of these surveys were released to
the public in December 2009, September
2012, October 2014, and October 2016,
respectively.
The FDIC supplement has yielded
nationally-representative data, not
otherwise available, on the size and
characteristics of the population that is
unbanked or underbanked, the use by
this population of alternative financial
services, and the reasons why some
households do not make greater use of
mainstream banking services. The
National Survey of Unbanked and
Underbanked Households is the only
population-representative survey
conducted at the national level that
provides state-level estimates of the size
and characteristics of unbanked and
underbanked households for all 50
states and the District of Columbia. An
executive summary of the results of the
first three Household Surveys, the full
reports, and the survey instruments can
be accessed through the following link:

Consistent with the statutory mandate
to conduct the surveys on an ongoing
basis, the FDIC already has in place
arrangements for conducting the fourth
Household Survey as a supplement to
the June 2017 CPS. However, prior to
finalizing the next survey questionnaire,
the FDIC seeks to solicit public
comment on whether changes to the
existing instrument are desirable and, if
so, to what extent. It should be noted
that, as a supplement of the CPS survey,
the Household Survey needs to adhere
to specific parameters that include
limits in the length and sensitivity of
the questions that can be asked of CPS
respondents. Specifically, there is a
strict limitation on the number of
questions permitted and the average
time required to complete the survey.
Request for Comment
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the collections of information are
necessary for the proper performance of
the FDIC’s functions, including whether
the information has practical utility; (b)
the accuracy of the estimates of the
burden of the information collections,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collections of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. All comments will become
a matter of public record.

Consumer Protection Act 1 (‘‘DoddFrank Act’’) requires certain financial
companies, including state nonmember
banks and state savings associations, to
conduct annual stress tests 2 and
requires the primary financial regulatory
agency 3 of those financial companies to
issue regulations implementing the
stress test requirements.4 A state
nonmember bank or state savings
association is a ‘‘covered bank’’ and
therefore subject to the stress test
requirements if its total consolidated
assets are more than $10 billion. Under
section 165(i)(2), a covered bank is
required to submit to the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (‘‘Board’’) and to its primary
financial regulatory agency a report at
such time, in such form, and containing
such information as the primary
financial regulatory agency shall
require.5
On October 15, 2012, the FDIC
published in the Federal Register a final
rule implementing the section 165(i)(2)
annual stress test requirement.6 The
final rule requires covered banks to
meet specific reporting requirements
under section 165(i)(2). In 2012, the
FDIC first implemented the reporting
templates for covered banks with total
consolidated assets of $50 billion or
more and provided instructions for
completing the reports.7 This
information collection notice describes
revisions by the FDIC to the relevant
reporting templates and related
instructions, as well as required
information. The information contained
in these information collections may be
given confidential treatment to the
extent allowed by law (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4)).
Consistent with past practice, the
FDIC intends to use the data collected
to assess the reasonableness of the stress
test results of covered banks and to
provide forward-looking information to
the FDIC regarding a covered
institution’s capital adequacy. The FDIC
also may use the results of the stress
tests to determine whether additional
analytical techniques and exercises
could be appropriate to identify,
measure, and monitor risks at the
covered bank. The stress test results are

expected to support ongoing
improvement in a covered bank’s stress
testing practices with respect to its
internal assessments of capital adequacy
and overall capital planning.
The FDIC recognizes that many
covered banks with total consolidated
assets of $50 billion or more are
required to submit reports using the
Board’s Comprehensive Capital
Analysis and Review (‘‘CCAR’’)
reporting form, FR Y–14A. The FDIC
also recognizes the Board has modified
the FR Y–14A, and the FDIC will keep
its reporting requirements as similar as
possible with the Board’s FR Y–14A in
order to minimize burden on affected
institutions. Therefore, the FDIC is
revising its reporting requirements to
remain consistent with the Board’s FR
Y–14A for covered banks with total
consolidated assets of $50 billion or
more.
Proposed Revisions to Reporting
Templates for Institutions With $50
Billion or More in Assets
The proposed revisions to the
DFAST–14A reporting templates consist
of clarifying instructions, adding and
removing schedules, adding, deleting,
and modifying existing data items, and
altering the as-of dates. These proposed
changes would increase consistency
between the DFAST–14A with the FR
Y–14A and CALL Report,
Summary Schedule, Standardized RWA
Worksheet
The proposed revision includes
multiple line items changes intended to
promote consistency with the FR Y–14A
and ensure the collection of accurate
information.
Summary Schedule, Capital Worksheet
Covered institutions would be
required to estimate their
supplementary leverage ratio for the
planning horizon beginning on January
1, 2018. The FDIC proposes adding two
items to the Summary Schedule:
Supplementary Leverage Ratio Exposure
(SLR Exposure) and Supplementary
Leverage Ratio (the SLR). The SLR
would be a derived field.
In addition, to collect more precise
information regarding deferred tax
assets (DTAs), the FDIC proposes
modifying one existing item on the
Capital—DFAST worksheet of the
Summary schedule as-of December 31,
2016. The FDIC proposes changing
existing item 112 on the Capital—
DFAST worksheet of the Summary
schedule, ‘‘Deferred tax assets arising
from temporary differences that could
not be realized through net operating
loss carrybacks, net of DTLs, but before

related valuation allowances’’, to
‘‘Deferred tax assets arising from
temporary differences, net of DTLs.’’ A
covered institution in a net deferred tax
liability (DTL) position would report
this item as a negative number. This
modification would provide more
specific information about the
components of the ‘‘DTAs arising from
temporary differences that could not be
realized through net operating loss
carrybacks, net of related valuation
allowances and net of DTLs’’ subject to
the common equity tier 1 capital
deduction threshold.
The proposed revisions would also
remove certain items that pertained to
the capital regulations in place before
the adoption of the Basel III final rule.
Summary Schedule, Counterparty
Worksheet
The FDIC proposes adding the item
‘‘Other counterparty losses’’ to the
counterparty worksheet of the Summary
schedule.
Regulatory Capital Instruments
Schedule
The FDIC proposes to remove the
Regulatory Capital Instruments
Schedule.
Regulatory Capital Transitions Schedule
The FDIC proposes to remove the
Regulatory Capital Transitions
Schedule.
Operational Risk Schedule
The FDIC proposes to remove the
Operational Risk Schedule.
Burden Estimates
The FDIC estimates that the proposed
revisions will not affect the burden
estimates of this information collection
which will remain as follows:
Number of Respondents: 4.
Annual Burden per Respondent:
1,114.
Total Annual Burden: 4,456.
The FDIC recognizes that the Board
requires bank holding companies to
prepare the Summary, Macro scenario,
Operational risk, Regulatory capital
transitions, and Regulatory capital
instruments for the FR Y–14A. The
FDIC believes that the systems covered
institutions use to prepare the FR Y–
14A reporting templates will also be
used to prepare the reporting templates
described in this notice. Comments
continue to be invited on:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
FDIC, including whether the
information has practical utility;

E:\FR\FM\25NON1.SGM

(b) The accuracy of the FDIC’s

of information;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection

(e) Estimates of capital or start-up
