I. Legal Basis and Need for Collection
This information collection is
mandatory: 12 U.S.C. 602 (Board); 12
U.S.C. 161 and 602 (OCC); and 12 U.S.C.
1828 (FDIC). This information collection
is given confidential treatment under 5
U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (8).
The FFIEC 030 collects asset and
liability information for foreign
branches of insured U.S. banks and
insured U.S. savings associations (U.S.
depository institutions) and is required
for regulatory and supervisory purposes.
The information is used to analyze the
foreign operations of U.S. institutions.
All foreign branches of U.S. institutions
regardless of charter type file this report
as provided in the instructions to the
FFIEC 030 and FFIEC 030S.
A U.S. depository institution
generally must file a separate report for
each foreign branch, but in some cases
may consolidate filing for multiple
foreign branches in the same country, as
described below.
A branch with either total assets of at
least $2 billion or commitments to
purchase foreign currencies and U.S.
dollar exchange of at least $5 billion as
of the end of a calendar quarter is
considered a ‘‘significant branch’’ and
an FFIEC 030 report is required to be
filed quarterly. A U.S. depository
institution with a foreign branch having
total assets in excess of $250 million
that does not meet either of the criteria
to file quarterly must file the entire
FFIEC 030 report for this foreign branch
on an annual basis as of December 31,
with respect to this foreign branch.
A U.S. depository institution with a
foreign branch having total assets of $50
million, but less than or equal to $250
million that does not meet the criteria
to file the FFIEC 030 report must file the
FFIEC 030S report for this foreign
branch on an annual basis as of
December 31, with respect to this
foreign branch. A U.S. depository
institution with a foreign branch having
total assets of less than $50 million is
exempt from filing the FFIEC 030 and
030S reports.
II. Current Actions
The FR 2502q collects data on the
claims and liabilities with U.S.-resident
versus foreign-resident counterparties
on the balance sheets of major foreign
branches and large banking subsidiaries
of U.S. head offices of bank holding
companies, commercial banks and Edge
and agreement corporations.1 For the
1 Prior to 2015, the FR 2502q collected a full
geographic distribution of claims and liabilities

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 13 / Friday, January 19, 2024 / Notices

reporting purposes of the FR 2502q,
large foreign branches are currently
defined as those that file the Foreign
Branch Report of Condition (FFIEC 030;
OMB No. 7100–0071) with total assets,
Schedule BS, item 11, of $2 billion or
more. Large banking subsidiaries are
defined as those that file the Financial
Statements of Foreign Subsidiaries of
U.S. Banking Organizations (FR 2314;
OMB No. 7100–0073) quarterly, have a
banking charter, and have assets of $2
billion or more and deposits of $10
million or more, Schedule BS, item 10,
and Schedule BS–M, item 6,
respectively.
The Division of International Finance
at the Board has an interest in knowing
the amounts of the claims and liabilities
of U.S.-chartered banks with respect to
residents of the U.S. The FR 2502q
provides data about activities in foreign
offices by location and type of offices
that are unavailable from other reporting
forms. For example, because banks’
submissions that underlie the quarterly
Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council (FFIEC) Country
Exposure Report (FFIEC 009; OMB No.
7100–0035) are consolidated on a
worldwide basis, they do not indicate
which particular offices are involved in
lending to or borrowing from U.S. or
foreign residents.
Following a 2015 revision that
substantially reduced the size of the FR
2502q report, the Board has assessed its
use of the data collected in the FR 2502q
and has determined that the data could
instead be effectively collected through
the FR 2314 and FFIEC 030, and that
doing so would reduce overall
respondent burden.
In addition, standardizing the
collection of foreign branch lending data
through the FFIEC reporting process
will improve useability by the OCC and
FDIC. The current 2502q collection is
managed and run solely by the Board.
The proposed shift of certain items to
the FFIEC 030 will make it easier for the
OCC and FDIC to use the data reported
in those items, as well as providing
those agencies with a more direct role
in proposing changes to the data items
to improve the usefulness of the
collection for all three agencies.
Therefore, the agencies propose to
add a new schedule to the FFIEC 030 to
collect the information currently
collected by the FR 2502q and add
additional line items to collect granular
detail related to loans and lease
receivables. The title of the new
from these respondents. However, data on
individual foreign counterparty countries became
redundant with the expansion of other international
data collections.

schedule would be: ‘‘Schedule RAL–
A—Due From, Due To, and Other.’’ In
addition, the agencies are adding a
schedule name to the current Assets;
Liabilities; Derivatives and Off-BalanceSheet Items; and Memoranda section of
the report form. The title of this
schedule will be ‘‘RAL—Assets and
Liabilities.’’ Adding a schedule name to
this section will help separate the
current items from the proposed new
items that will only be applicable to
respondents that are required to submit
their FFIEC 030 report on a quarterly
basis. Respondents that submit their
FFIEC 030 report on an annual basis
will not need to complete the proposed
new schedule.
Eight of the proposed line items
would provide a granular breakout of
what is currently collected on line items
8, 9, 16, and 17. The remaining six
proposed line items would be new to
the FFIEC 030 report. The agencies
propose to incorporate the following
line items from the FR 2502q into FFIEC
030, Schedule RAL–A—Due From, Due
To, and Other:
Item 1a: Gross due from head office and U.S.
branches of this bank
Item 1b: Gross due from other foreign
branches of this bank
Item 2a: Gross due from consolidated
subsidiaries of this bank in the U.S.
Item 2b: Gross due from consolidated
subsidiaries of this bank in foreign
countries
Item 3a: Gross due to head office and U.S.
branches of this bank
Item 3b: Gross due to other foreign branches
of this bank
Item 4a: Gross due from consolidated
subsidiaries of this bank in the U.S.
Item 4b: Gross due from consolidated
subsidiaries of this bank in foreign
countries
Item 5: Assets that are claims on U.S.
addressees other than depository
institutions
Item 6: Liabilities to U.S. addressees other
than depository institutions

In addition, the proposed line items
below would provide the agencies with
more granular data about certain
categories of loans and lease receivables,
which is expected to be reported in the
balance of line item 5 above. Collection
of the additional line items would
provide the agencies with the ability to
analyze lending by foreign branches of
U.S. banks to U.S. addresses in different
sectors. For example, it is not
uncommon for foreign branches to make
loans secured by U.S. real estate. As
lending to nondepository institutions
continues to increase, segmenting the
lending between foreign and U.S.
addresses improves the ability of
agencies to assess risks to this type of
lending. The same reasoning applies to

PO 00000

Frm 00080

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

commercial and industrial loans and all
other loans and leases. The proposed
sub-set of line items are as follows:
Assets that are claims on U.S. addressees
other than depository institutions:
Item 5a: Loans secured by real estate
Item 5b: Loans to nondepository financial
institutions
Item 5c: Commercial and industrial loans
Item 5d: All other loans and all leases

These proposed revisions would
reduce the burden on respondents and
assist the agencies in meeting shared
data needs with shared resources. The
Board will propose similar revisions to
the FR 2314 in a separate notice. If these
revisions are adopted, the Board expects
to discontinue the FR 2502q, effective as
of June 30, 2024.
III. Timing
The proposed revisions to the FFIEC
030 would first take effect as of the June
30, 2024, report date. The agencies
invite comment on any difficulties that
institutions would expect to encounter
in implementing the systems changes
necessary to accommodate the proposed
revisions to the FFIEC 030.
IV. Request for Comment
Public comment is requested on all
aspects of this joint notice. Comment is
specifically invited on:
(a) Whether the information collection
is necessary for the proper performance
of the agencies’ functions, including
whether the information has practical
utility;
(b) The accuracy of the agencies’
estimate 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;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of
the information collection 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.
Comments submitted in response to
this joint notice will be shared among
the agencies.
