The market risk rule, which requires
banking organizations to hold capital to cover their exposure to
market risk, is an important component of the Board’s regulatory
capital framework (12 CFR 217; Regulation Q). The respondents for
this collection of information are bank holding companies (BHCs),
savings and loan holding companies (SLHCs), intermediate holding
companies, and state member banks that meet certain risk thresholds
described below. There are no required reporting forms associated
with this information collection (the FR 4201 designation is for
internal purposes only).

The estimated total annual
burden for the FR 4201 is 70,704 hours, and would decrease to
13,148 hours with the adopted revisions. The decrease in burden
results primarily from a decrease in the estimated number of
respondents for the prior written approvals required by sections
217.203, .204, .206, .208, and .209 of the market risk rule. The
Board believes that few, if any, additional entities will request
such prior approvals in the next three years. Additionally, a
number of provisions of the market risk rule that were previously
included as information collections in FR 4201 have been omitted
from this proposal, as they are not collections of information
under the PRA.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
