General Description of Reports
The Country Exposure Report (FFIEC
009) is filed quarterly with the agencies
and provides information on
international claims of U.S. banks,
savings associations, bank holding
companies, savings and loan holding
companies, and intermediate holding
companies (U.S. banking organizations)
that is used for supervisory and
analytical purposes. The information is
used to monitor the foreign country
exposures of reporting institutions to
determine the degree of risk in their
portfolios and assess the potential risk
of loss. The Country Exposure
Information Report (FFIEC 009a) is a
supplement to the FFIEC 009 and
provides publicly available information
on material foreign country exposures
(all exposures to a country in excess of
1 percent of total assets or 20 percent of
capital, whichever is less) of U.S.
banking organizations that file the
FFIEC 009 report. As part of the Country
Exposure Information Report, reporting
institutions also must furnish a list of
countries in which they have lending
exposures above 0.75 percent of total
assets or 15 percent of total capital,
whichever is less.
Statutory Basis and Confidential
Treatment
These information collections are
mandatory under the following statutes:
12 U.S.C. 161 and 1817 (national banks),
12 U.S.C. 1464 (federal savings
associations), 12 U.S.C. 248(a)(1) and
(2), 1844(c), and 3906 (state member
banks and bank holding companies); 12
U.S.C. 1467a(b)(2)(A) (savings and loan
holding companies); 12 U.S.C. 5365(a)

(intermediate holding companies); and
12 U.S.C. 1817 and 1820 (insured state
nonmember commercial and savings
banks and insured state savings
associations). The FFIEC 009
information collection is given
confidential treatment (5 U.S.C.
552(b)(4) and (b)(8)). The FFIEC 009a
information collection is not given
confidential treatment.
Request for Comment
The agencies invite comment on the
following topics related to these
collections of information:
(a) Whether the information
collections are necessary for the proper
performance of the agencies’ functions,
including whether the information has
practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the agencies’
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;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of
information collections on respondents,
including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and
(e) Estimates of capital or start-up
costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information.

MPRA
amended the Internal Revenue Code to
permit a multiemployer plan that is
projected to have insufficient funds to
reduce pension benefits payable to
participants and beneficiaries if certain
conditions are satisfied. In order to
reduce benefits, the plan sponsor is
required to submit an application to the
Secretary of the Treasury, which must
be approved or denied in consultation
with the Pension Benefit Guaranty
Corporation (PBGC) and the Department
of Labor.
On March 29, 2019, the Board of
Trustees of the Sheet Metal Workers
Local Pension Fund submitted an
application for approval to reduce
benefits under the plan. As required by
MPRA, that application has been
published on Treasury’s website at
https://www.treasury.gov/services/
Pages/Plan-Applications.aspx. Treasury
is publishing this notice in the Federal
Register, in consultation with PBGC and
the Department of Labor, to solicit
public comments on all aspects of the
Sheet Metal Workers Local Pension
Fund application.
Comments are requested from
interested parties, including
participants and beneficiaries, employee
organizations, and contributing
employers of the Sheet Metal Workers
Local Pension Fund. Consideration will
be given to any comments that are
timely received by Treasury.
