Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Associated with

Liquidity Coverage Ratio: Liquidity Risk Measurement, Standards, and Monitoring

OMB Control No. 1557-0323



A. Justification.


1. Circumstances that make the collection necessary:


The quantitative liquidity requirement (12 CFR part 50) is designed to promote improvements in the measurement and management of liquidity risk.


Part 50 applies to large and internationally active banking organizations—generally, bank holding companies, certain savings and loan holding companies, and depository institutions with $250 billion or more in total assets or $10 billion or more in on-balance sheet foreign exposure—and to their consolidated subsidiaries that are depository institutions with $10 billion or more in total consolidated assets.


2. Use of the information:


The reporting and recordkeeping requirements are found in §§ 50.22 and 50.40. Compliance with the information collections is mandatory. There is no mandatory retention period for the collections of information.


Section 50.22 requires that, with respect to each asset eligible for inclusion in a national bank or federal savings association’s (FSA’s) HQLA amount, the national bank or FSA must implement policies that require eligible HQLA to be under the control of the management function in the national bank or FSA responsible for managing liquidity risk. The management function must evidence its control over the HQLA by segregating the HQLA from other assets, with the sole intent to use the HQLA as a source of liquidity, or demonstrating the ability to monetize the assets and making the proceeds available to the liquidity management function without conflicting with a business or risk management strategy of the national bank or FSA. In addition, § 50.22 requires that a national bank or FSA must have a documented methodology that results in a consistent treatment for determining that the national bank or FSA’s eligible HQLA meet the requirements of § 50.22.


Section 50.40 requires that a national bank or FSA must notify its appropriate federal banking agency on any day when its liquidity coverage ratio is calculated to be less than the minimum requirement in § 50.10. If a national bank or FSA’s liquidity coverage ratio is below the minimum requirement in § 50.10 for three consecutive days, or if its appropriate federal banking agency has determined that the institution is otherwise materially noncompliant, the national bank or FSA must promptly provide a plan for achieving compliance with the minimum liquidity requirement in § 50.10 and all other requirements of § 50.40 to its appropriate Federal banking agency.


The liquidity plan must include, as applicable, (1) an assessment of the national bank or FSA's liquidity position; (2) the actions the national bank or FSA has taken and will take to achieve full compliance, including a plan for adjusting the national bank or FSA’s risk profile, risk management, and funding sources in order to achieve full compliance and a plan for remediating any operational or management issues that contributed to noncompliance; (3) an estimated time frame for achieving full compliance; and (4) a commitment to provide a progress report to its appropriate federal banking agency at least weekly until full compliance is achieved.


3. Consideration of the use of improved information technology:


The use of improved technology is permitted to meet the requirements of the information collection.


4. Efforts to identify duplication:


The information collected is not duplicated elsewhere.


5. If the collection of information impacts small businesses or other small entities, describe any methods used to minimize burden.


There are no alternatives that would result in lowering the burden on small institutions while still accomplishing the purpose of the rule.


6. Consequences to the federal program if the collection were conducted less frequently:


Less frequent collection would present safety and soundness concerns.


7. Special circumstances necessitating collection inconsistent with 5 CFR part 1320:


The information collection is conducted in accordance with OMB guidelines in 5 CFR part 1320.


8. Efforts to consult with persons outside the agency:


The OCC issued a notice for 60 days of comment on July 19, 2017, 82 FR 33202. No comments were received.



9. Payment to respondents:


None.


10. Any assurance of confidentiality:


The information will be kept private to the extent permitted by law.


11. Justification for questions of a sensitive nature:


There are no questions of a sensitive nature.


12. Burden estimate:

Cost of Hour Burden:


2,361 hours x $114 = $ 269,154


To estimate average hourly wages we reviewed data from May 2016 (released in March 2017) for wages (by industry and occupation) from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for depository credit intermediation (NAICS 522100). To estimate compensation costs associated with the rule, we use $114 per hour, which is based on the average of the 90th percentile for seven occupations adjusted for inflation (2 percent), plus an additional 30 percent to cover private sector benefits. Thirty percent represents the average private sector costs of employee benefits.


13. Estimate of annualized costs to respondents:


There are no capital or start-up costs associated with this collection. In addition, there are no system and technology acquisition or operation and maintenance costs.


14. Estimate of annualized costs to the government:


None.

15. Changes in burden:


Current Burden: 2,485 hours.

Proposed Burden: 2,361 hours.

Difference: -124 hours.


The decrease in burden is due to the decrease in the number of institutions subject to the rule.


16. Information regarding collections whose results are planned to be published for statistical

use:


No publication for statistical use is contemplated.


17. Display of expiration date:


Not applicable.


18. Exceptions to certification statement:


Not applicable.




B. Collections of Information Employing Statistical Methods.


Not applicable.
