The FR Y-7N and FR Y-7NS collect financial information for non-functionally regulated U.S. nonbank subsidiaries held by foreign banking organizations (FBOs) other than through a U.S. bank holding company (BHC), financial holding company (FHC), or U.S. bank. FBOs file the FR Y-7N quarterly or annually or the FR Y-7NS annually predominantly based on asset size thresholds. The FR Y-7Q collects consolidated regulatory capital information from all FBOs either quarterly or annually. Part 1A of the FR Y-7Q is filed quarterly by FBOs that have effectively elected to become U.S. FHCs and by FBOs that have total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more, regardless of FHC status. Part 1B of the FR Y-7Q is filed quarterly by FBOs with combined U.S. assets of $100 billion or more, or combined U.S. assets of less than $100 billion but total consolidated assets of $250 billion or more. All other FBOs file the FR Y-7Q annually.
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 Boardâs 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. To mitigate temporary transition costs on banking organizations related to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID event), the Board temporarily revised the instructions for the FR Y-7N and FR Y-7NS reports to allow a holding company to use asset data as of December 31, 2019, in order to determine reporting requirements. There are no revisions to the FR Y-7Q.
