Request for Comment on Possible Changes to Industry Guide 3 
(Statistical Disclosure by Bank Holding Companies); Extension of 
Comment Period

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Extension of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission is extending the 
comment period for its request for comment seeking public input as to 
the disclosures called for by Industry Guide 3, Statistical Disclosure 
by Bank Holding Companies. The original comment period is scheduled to 
end on May 8, 2017. The Commission is extending the time period in 
which to provide the Commission with comments until July 7, 2017. This 
action will allow interested persons additional time to analyze the 
issues and prepare their comments.

DATES: Comments should be received on or before July 7, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods:

Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 
20549-1090.

All submissions should refer to File Number S7-02-17. This file number 
should be included on the subject line if email is used. To help us

Commission does not edit personal identifying information from

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lindsay McCord, Associate Chief 
Accountant in the Office of Chief Accountant, Division of Corporation 
Finance, at (202) 551-3400, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, 
100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission has published a request for 
comment to seek public input as to the disclosures called for by 
Industry Guide 3, Statistical Disclosure by Bank Holding Companies. 
Specifically, we sought comment on new or revised disclosure or the 
elimination of what may be duplicative or overlapping disclosures in 
Guide 3. We also sought input on whether any of the Guide 3 
disclosures, which are not Commission rules or requirements, should be 
codified as Commission rules. Because we are considering modernization 
of the scope and applicability of Guide 3, we also encouraged 
commenters to consider registrants other than bank holding companies 
when recommending improvements to the disclosure regime. The request 
for comment is part of the staff's broad-based review of the 
Commission's disclosure requirement, including its consideration of how 
the disclosure system could be improved for the benefit of both 
investors and registrants.
    The Commission originally requested that comments on the request 
for comment be received by May 8, 2017. The Commission has received 
requests for an extension of time for public comment to, among other 
things, allow for adequate time to fully consider our request and to 
improve the quality of responses.\1\ In particular, we note that those 
requesting the extension have indicated that several industry 
participants are in the process of preparing for capital plan and 
annual and quarterly report deadlines and are therefore unable to 
perform the level of analysis and review of the request for comment to 
provide thoughtful responses to the detailed questions posed in the 
request before the comment period closes on May 8, 2017. The Commission 
believes that providing the public additional time to consider 
thoroughly the matters addressed by the request for comment and to 
submit comprehensive responses to the request for comment would benefit 
the Commission in its consideration of possible revisions to its 
disclosure regime for bank holding companies. Therefore, the Commission 
is extending the comment period for Release No. 33-10321; 34-80131; 
File No. S7-02-17 ``Request for Comment on Possible Changes to Industry 
Guide 3 (Statistical Disclosure By Bank Holding Companies)'' until July 
7, 2017.
