The Board requires bank holding
companies (BHCs), most savings and loan holding companies (SLHCs),
any securities holding companies, and U.S. intermediate holding
companies (IHCs) (collectively, HCs) to provide standardized
financial statements through one or more of the FR Y-9 reports. The
information collected on the FR Y-9 reports is necessary for the
Board to identify emerging financial risks and monitor the safety
and soundness of HC operations.
The delegation of
authority to the Board from OMB that permits the Board to approve
collections of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act
includes the authority to temporarily approve a collection of
information without seeking public comment. To exercise this
authority, the Board must determine that a new collection of
information or a change to an existing collection must be
instituted quickly and that public participation in the approval
process would substantially interfere with the Board’s ability to
perform its statutory obligation. Following the temporary approval
of an information collection, the Board must conduct a normal
delegated review of the collection within six months, including
publishing in the Federal Register a notice seeking public comment.
In response to recent economic disruptions and volatility in U.S.
financial markets caused by the spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019
(COVID-19), the Board temporarily revised the FR Y-9C effective for
the June 30, 2020, as-of date.

The estimated total annual
burden for the FR Y-9 is 119,667 hours, and would increase to
119,725 hours with the temporary revisions. The Board estimates
that the revisions would increase the estimated average hours per
response for FR Y-9C non AA HCs filers by 0.03 hours and FR Y-9C AA
HCs filers by 0.21 hours.
