In accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), the OCC, the Board, and the FDIC (the agencies) may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. The agencies, under the auspices of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), have approved the publication for public comment of a proposal to revise and extend the Market Risk Regulatory Report for Institutions Subject to the Market Risk Capital Rule (FFIEC 102), which is currently an approved collection of information for each agency. The agencies propose to modify this collection effective December 31, 2016, to (1) have institutions provide their Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) on the reporting form, only if they already have one, and (2) add U.S. Intermediate Holding Companies (IHCs) to the Board's respondent panel. At the end of the comment period, the comments and recommendations received will be analyzed to determine the extent to which the FFIEC and the agencies should modify the proposed revisions prior to giving final approval. The agencies will then submit the revisions to OMB for review and approval.

Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

ACTION: Joint notice and request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction 
Act (PRA) of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), the OCC, the Board, and the 
FDIC (the agencies) may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is 
not required to respond to, an information collection unless it 
displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
control number. The agencies, under the auspices of the Federal 
Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), have approved the 
publication for public comment of a proposal to revise and extend the 
Market Risk Regulatory Report for Institutions Subject to the Market 
Risk Capital Rule (FFIEC 102), which is currently an approved 
collection of information for each agency. The agencies propose to 
modify this collection effective December 31, 2016, to (1) have 
institutions provide their Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) on the 
reporting form, only if they already have one, and (2) add U.S. 
Intermediate Holding Companies (IHCs) to the Board's respondent panel.
    At the end of the comment period, the comments and recommendations 
received will be analyzed to determine the extent to which the FFIEC 
and the agencies should modify the proposed revisions prior to giving 
final approval. The agencies will then submit the revisions to OMB for 
review and approval.

General Description of Report

    This quarterly information collection is mandatory for market risk 
institutions, defined for this purpose as those institutions that are 
subject to the market risk capital rule as incorporated into Subpart F 
of the agencies' regulatory capital rules (market risk 
institutions).\1\ All data reported in the FFIEC 102 are available to 
the public. Each market risk institution is required to file the FFIEC 
102 for the agencies' use in assessing the reasonableness and accuracy 
of the institution's calculation of its minimum capital requirements 
under the market risk capital rule and in evaluating the institution's 
capital in relation to its risks. Additionally, the market risk 
information collected in the FFIEC 102: (a) Permits the agencies to 
monitor the market risk profile of and evaluate the impact and 
competitive implications of the market risk capital rule on individual 
market risk institutions and the industry as a whole; (b) provides the 
most current statistical data available to identify areas of market 
risk on which to focus for onsite and offsite examinations; (c) allows 
the agencies to assess and monitor the levels and components of each 
reporting institution's risk-based capital requirements for market risk 
and the adequacy of the institution's capital under the market risk 
capital rule; and (d) assists market risk institutions in validating 
their implementation of the market risk framework.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 12 CFR 3.201 (OCC); 12 CFR 217.201 (Board); and 12 CFR 
324.201 (FDIC). The market risk capital rule generally applies to 
any banking institution with aggregate trading assets and trading 
liabilities equal to (a) 10 percent or more of quarter-end total 
assets or (b) $1 billion or more. The statutory provisions that 
grant the agencies the authority to impose capital requirements are 
12 U.S.C. 161 (national banks), 12 U.S.C. 324 (state member banks), 
12 U.S.C. 1844(c) (bank holding companies), 12 U.S.C. 1467a(b) 
(savings and loan holding companies), 12 U.S.C. 5365 (U.S. 
intermediate holding companies), 12 U.S.C. 1817 (insured state 
nonmember commercial and savings banks), and 12 U.S.C. 1464 (savings 
associations).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Discussion of Proposed Revisions

1. Reporting the Legal Entity Identifier

    The Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a 20-digit alpha-numeric code 
that uniquely identifies entities that engage in financial 
transactions. The recent financial crisis spurred the development of a 
Global LEI System (GLEIS). Internationally, regulators and market 
participants have recognized the importance of the LEI as a key 
improvement in financial data systems. The Group of Twenty (G-20) 
nations directed the Financial Stability Board to lead the coordination 
of international regulatory work and deliver concrete recommendations 
on the GLEIS by mid-2012, which in turn were endorsed by the G-20 later 
that same year. In January 2013, the LEI Regulatory Oversight Committee 
(ROC), which includes regulators from around the world, was established 
to oversee the GLEIS on an interim basis. With the establishment of the 
full Global LEI Foundation in 2014, the ROC continues to review and 
develop broad policy standards for LEIs. The OCC, the Board, and the 
FDIC are all members of the ROC.
    The LEI system is designed to facilitate several financial 
stability objectives, including the provision of higher quality and 
more accurate financial data. In the United States, the Financial 
Stability Oversight Council (FSOC) has recommended that regulators and 
market participants continue to work together to improve the quality 
and comprehensiveness of financial data both nationally and globally. 
In this regard, the FSOC also has recommended that its member agencies 
promote the use of the LEI in reporting requirements and rulemakings, 
where appropriate.\2\

page 14, http://www.treasury.gov/initiatives/fsoc/studies-reports/Documents/2015%20FSOC%20Annual%20Report.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Effective beginning October 31, 2014, the Board started requiring 
holding companies to provide their LEI on the cover pages of the FR Y-
6, FR Y-7, and FR Y-10 reports \3\ only if a holding company already 
has an LEI. Thus, if a reporting holding company does not have an LEI, 
it is not required to obtain one for purposes of these Board reports. 
Additionally, effective for December 2015, the Board expanded the 
collection of the LEI to all holding company subsidiary banking and 
nonbanking legal entities reportable on certain schedules of the FR Y-
10 and in one section of the FR Y-6 and FR Y-7 if an LEI has already 
been issued for the reportable entity.\4\ With respect to the FFIEC 
102, the agencies are proposing to have reporting institutions provide 
their LEI on the cover page of each report beginning December 31, 2016, 
only if an institution already has an LEI. As with the Board reports, 
an institution that does not have an LEI would not be required to 
obtain one for purposes of reporting it on the FFIEC 102.

non-branch assets to establish a U.S. IHC, imposed enhanced prudential 
standards on the U.S. IHC, and required the U.S. IHC to submit any 
reporting forms in the same manner and to the same extent as a bank 
holding company. On February 18, 2014, the Board adopted a final rule 
implementing enhanced prudential standards for FBOs (Regulation YY),\6\ 
with certain revisions in response to comments. The Board indicated in 
the preamble to Regulation YY that it would address the reporting 
requirements for U.S. IHCs at a later date. Accordingly, based on the 
background provided above, the agencies propose to add U.S. IHCs that 
are subject to the market risk capital rule to the FFIEC 102 panel of 
Board respondents.\7\ For such U.S. IHCs, the agencies are proposing to 
implement these changes beginning with the December 31, 2016, report 
date.

organizations. See 12 CFR 217.201(b)(1); 12 CFR 252.153(e)(2).
