Abstract: U.S. commercial banks, savings associations, Edge or agreement corporations, bank holding companies (BHCs), savings and loan holding companies (SLHCs), and U.S. intermediate holding companies of foreign banking organizations (IHCs) (collectively, U.S. banking organizations) that meet certain criteria set forth in the FFIEC 009 instructions must file the quarterly FFIEC 009 with the Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) (collectively, the agencies) to report information on international claims. The agencies use this information to monitor the degree of country risk and transfer risk in U.S. banking organizations’ portfolios and the potential impact of adverse international developments on the banking organizations. The FFIEC 009a is a supplement to the FFIEC 009 that must be filed by FFIEC 009 filers that have exposure exceeding certain thresholds set forth in the FFIEC 009a instructions. The FFIEC 009a collects quarterly information on material foreign country exposures of U.S. banking organizations. The agencies collect the FFIEC 009 and FFIEC 009a under the auspices of the FFIEC. The Board is responsible for collecting and compiling the data reported on the FFIEC 009 and FFIEC 009a on behalf of all three agencies. Each of the agencies submits a separate supporting statement to OMB for this collection of information for relevant banking organizations under their supervision. For the Board, these banking organizations are state member banks, Edge or agreement corporations, BHCs, SLHCs, and IHCs.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The estimated total annual burden for the FFIEC 009 and FFIEC 009a with respect to banking organizations supervised by the Board is 26,564 hours, and would increase to 27,422 hours. The estimated number of respondents is based on the reporting panel as of June 2021. The agencies estimate that the proposed revisions would increase the average hours per response for FFIEC 009 by 4 hours. This change in burden is primarily due to adding the two new collateral columns. Since the proposed revisions to the FFIEC 009a reflect disclosures of data already collected, but not currently disclosed on the FFIEC 009, the agencies estimate that the average hours per response for FFIEC 009a would increase by 0.5 hours.
