General Description of Collection:
Upon the failure of an FDIC-insured
depository institution, the FDIC is
required to pay insured deposits as soon
as possible. To do so, the FDIC must be
able to quickly determine the total
insured amount for each depositor. To
make this determination, the FDIC must
ascertain the balances of all deposit
accounts owned by the same depositor
in the same ownership capacity at a
failed institution as of the day of failure.
The FDIC issued a regulation (12 CFR
360.9) (Section 360.9) to modernize the
process of determining the insurance
status of each depositor in the event of
failure of a covered institution. The
FDIC requires institutions that are
covered under Section 360.9 to have
mechanisms in place that will
automatically place a provisional hold
on domestic and foreign deposit
accounts, and sweep and automated
credit account arrangements, in the
event that a covered institution is close
to failing. A ‘‘provisional hold’’ is
defined in 12 CFR Section 360.9(b)(6) as
‘‘an effective restriction on access to
some or all of a deposit or other liability
account after the failure of an insured
depository institution.’’ Section 360.9

VerDate Sep<11>2014

16:47 Jul 07, 2021

Jkt 253001

also requires institutions to have in
place practices and procedures for
providing the FDIC, in a standard format
upon the close of any day’s business,
certain data on the accounts and
customers of the institution, and to
provide the FDIC with this information
upon request. The purpose of these
requirements is to allow the deposit and
other operations of a covered institution
to continue functioning on the day
following failure, and to permit the
FDIC to fulfill its legal requirement to
promptly provide liquidity to depositors
of a failed institution. This information
also helps to ensure equitable treatment
of depositors at different institutions,
and helps to preserve the franchise
value of a failed institution, thereby
reducing costs to the FDIC in the event
that a covered institution fails.
FDIC-insured depository institutions
(IDIs) that are covered by Section 360.9
are defined in Section 360.9(b)(1) as
having at least $2 billion in deposits and
either (1) 250,000 or more deposit
accounts, or (2) $20 billion or more in
assets, regardless of the number of
deposit accounts. IDIs that meet this
criteria for two consecutive quarters
qualify as covered institutions.

This information collection consists
of eight distinct reporting and
recordkeeping requirements (ICs) that
impose annual burden on covered
institutions. Three of these eight
reporting requirements have an
implementation component as well as
an ongoing component: (1) Section
360.9(c)(3) (IC requirements C and H,
below) requires covered institutions to
provide certain information to the FDIC
both while the institution is
implementing the systems required
under 360.9 (IC requirement C) and on
an ongoing basis (IC requirement H); (2.)
Section 360.9(c)(9) (IC requirements D
and I, below) permits institutions to
request an exemption from certain
requirements of Section 360.9.
Institutions could submit such requests
either while they are implementing the
systems required under Section 360.9
(IC requirement D) or after they are
already in compliance with Section
360.9 (IC requirement I); (3.) Section
360.9(f) (IC requirements G and J,
below) permits institutions to request an
exemption from all of the requirements
of Section 360.9 under certain
conditions. Institutions could submit
such requests either while they are

E:\FR\FM\08JYN1.SGM

implementing the systems required
under Section 360.9 (IC requirement G)
or after they are already in compliance
with Section 360.9 (IC requirement J).
Since reporting by institutions pursuant
to Sections 360.9(c)(3), 360.9(c)(9), and
360.9(f) are counted as both
implementation and ongoing
requirements, this IC contains eleven 1
requirements in total. These
requirements, with corresponding CFR
sections, are listed and described as
follows:
A. 360.9(c)(1) and (2)
(Implementation)—Require covered
institutions to set up systems for
automatically placing provisional holds
on domestic and foreign deposit
accounts and sweep and automated
credit account arrangements
B. 360.9(d)(1) and (2)
(Implementation)—Require covered
institutions to establish practices and
procedures for providing the FDIC, in a
standard format upon the close of any
day’s business, customer and depositor
data for all deposit accounts held in
domestic and foreign offices and interest
bearing investment accounts connected
with sweep and automated credit
arrangements
C. 360.9(c)(3) (Implementation)—
Requires covered institutions to notify
the FDIC of the person(s) responsible for

producing the standard data download
and administering provisional holds,
both while the functionality is being
constructed and on an ongoing basis (IC
requirement H)
D. 360.9(c)(9) (Implementation)—
Permits covered institutions to submit
to the FDIC a request for an exemption
from the provisional hold requirements
for those account systems servicing a
relatively small number of accounts
where the application of manual
provisional holds is feasible, both while
the systems are being constructed and
on an ongoing basis (IC requirement I)
E. 360.9(d)(3) (Implementation)—
Requires covered institutions to submit
the data required by 360.9(d)(1) to the
FDIC upon request both while the
systems are being constructed and on an
ongoing basis (IC requirement K)
F. 360.9(e)(7) (Implementation)—
Permits covered institutions to submit
to the FDIC a request for an extension
of the deadline for complying with the
requirements of Section 360.9
G. 360.9(f) (Implementation)—Permits
covered institutions to apply for an
exemption from the requirements of
Section 360.9, if the institution has a
high concentration of deposits
incidental to credit card operations,
both during the implementation period
in the first year and on an ongoing basis
(IC requirement J)

H. 360.9(c)(3) (Ongoing)—Requires
covered institutions to provide the
information described in IC requirement
C above to the FDIC on an ongoing basis
I. 360.9(c)(9) (Ongoing)—Permits
covered institutions to request an
exemption from the provisional hold
requirements, as described in IC
requirement D above, both while the
systems are being constructed and on an
ongoing basis
J. 360.9(f) (Ongoing)—Permits covered
institutions to apply for an exemption
from the requirements of Section 360.9,
as described in IC requirement G above,
at any time after the institution is in
compliance with the requirements of
Section 360.9 if the institution has a
high concentration of deposits
incidental to credit card operations
K. 360.9(h) (Ongoing)—Requires
covered institutions to provide
appropriate assistance to the FDIC in its
testing of the systems required under
Section 360.9

General Description of Collection: The
FDIC’s deposit insurance assessment
authority is set forth in Section 7 of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act, 12
U.S.C. 1817(b) and (c) and promulgated
in regulations under 12 CFR part 327.
These regulations also set out the
process for making adjustments to the
total score of these institutions used by
the FDIC in making deposit insurance
assessments. Depository institutions are
permitted to make a written request to
the FDIC for an assessment adjustment.
An institution is able to request review

of, or appeal, an upward adjustment, the
magnitude of an upward adjustment,
removal of a previously implemented
downward adjustment or an increase in
a previously implemented upward
adjustment through the FDIC’s internal
review process set forth at 12 CFR
327.4(c). An institution can similarly
request review of or appeal a decision
not to apply an adjustment following a
request by the institution for an
adjustment.
An institution can submit its written
request for an adjustment to the FDIC’s
Director of the Division of Insurance
and Research in Washington, DC. In

1 8 distinct requirements, plus 3 requirements
that are counted as both implementation and

ongoing requirements, brings the total number of
requirements for this IC to 11.

General Description of Collection: The
supplementary leverage ratio
regulations strengthen the definition of
total leverage exposure and improve the
measure of a banking organization’s on
and off-balance sheet exposures. All
banking organizations that are subject to
the advanced approaches risk-based
capital rules are required to disclose
their supplementary leverage ratios.
Advanced approaches banking
organizations must report their
supplementary leverage ratios on the
applicable regulatory reports. The
calculation and disclosure requirements
for the supplementary leverage ratio in
the federal banking agencies’ regulatory
capital rules are generally consistent
with international standards published
by the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision. These disclosures enhance
the transparency and consistency of
reporting requirements for the
supplementary leverage ratio by all
internationally active organizations.
Request for Comment: Comments are

information is necessary for the proper
performance of the FDIC’s functions,
including whether the information has
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
estimates of the burden of the
information collection, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
All comments will become a matter of
