SUMMARY: The Federal Banking
Agencies (Board, FDIC, OCC, and OTS,
collectively referred to as ‘‘the

proposed changes to the examination
data collected in support of the Shared
National Credit Program (Program). The
Agencies propose to standardize and
expand the data collection to improve
the efficiency and effectiveness of
Shared National Credit (SNC)
examinations. By standardizing and
expanding the collection of data, the
Agencies will be able to use advanced
credit risk analytics that will be
beneficial to the reporting banks and the
Agencies. The proposed changes are
warranted based on the increasing
sophistication of banks’ risk
management practices and the
complexity of credit markets. Going
forward, the Program also plans to take
advantage of current information
technologies. The Agencies plan to
implement the changes beginning with
the 2007 SNC examinations, employing
data as of December 31, 2006.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
