55986 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 185 / Monday, September 25, 2006 / Notices
relating to certain key aspects of the
proposal and potential data collection
alternatives.
(1) The agencies seek comment from
the industry concerning the feasibility
of collecting certain additional
information beyond that described in
this proposal. The purpose of this
additional information is to help
identify the causes of changes in credit
risk regulatory capital requirements (for
example, due to changes in exposure
mix or changes in the bank’s assessment
of risk).
To facilitate such analyses, reporting
banks would be required to submit
additional data items that summarize
current and previous risk parameters for
exposures that were in wholesale and
retail credit portfolios as of the previous
reporting period (for example, prior
quarter, prior year)—the ‘‘lookback’’
portfolio. The intent of this lookback-
portfolio approach would be to allow
the agencies to better identify reasons
for observed changes in regulatory
credit risk capital requirements and
allow for peer comparisons of changes
from period to period.
A lookback-portfolio approach would
require additional data collection and
processing. For example, banks would
need to retain data on the internal risk
rating category to which each exposure
was previously assigned, and the
previous EAD of each exposure. The
agencies believe that this data
maintenance requirement is consistent
with supervisory expectations described
in the NPR and proposed AIRB
guidance in that banks subject to the
Advanced Capital Adequacy Framework
are expected to be able to evaluate and
explain changes in risk parameters in
order to assess their risk parameter
estimation procedures.
The agencies specifically seek
industry comment on the following
questions:
• What aggregate summary
information might banks submit that
best describes or characterizes period-
to-period migration across internal
rating grades or retail segments?
• If such information were required,
are there particular formats or other
considerations that would reduce the
reporting burden for banks?
(2) The agencies are considering
another alternative reporting treatment
with respect to the wholesale and retail
portions of the above proposal
(Schedules C–R). This alternative
treatment would complement the
lookback-portfolio approach just
described but could be implemented
whether or not the lookback-portfolio
approach was implemented. Under this
approach, banks would submit data
according to each of their internal
obligor rating grades or segments, rather
than in the fixed bands defined in the
current regulatory reporting proposal. In
this case, each reporting bank could
submit a different number of rows
corresponding to the number of internal
risk rating/segmentation categories
employed by that bank for the given
portfolio.
The agencies specifically seek
industry comment on the following
question:
• Would reporting burden be
lessened if banks submitted data using
internally-defined obligor grades or
segments, rather than aggregating the
grades or segments in supervisory
reporting bands?
(3) The agencies request comment on
the appropriateness of making the data
items on Schedules A and B and data
items 1 through 7 of the operational risk
reporting schedule (Schedule V)
available to the public for each reporting
entity for data collected during periods
subsequent to its parallel run reporting
periods as currently proposed.
Comments are requested on the extent
to which banks are already providing
these data to the public or are planning
to make such data public as well as the
timing of these disclosures. In addition,
comments are requested on the
perceived risks associated with public
reporting of these data items.
(4) What changes in the proposed
regulatory reporting requirements for
the Advanced Capital Adequacy
Framework, including additional data or
definitions, would better assist the
agencies in reaching their stated goals?
In this regard, the agencies also seek
input on possible alternative ways to
capture the requested information and
the appropriateness of the requested
data given the stated purposes of the
information collections and the
associated reporting burden.
Paperwork Reduction Act
The agencies seek comment on:
(a) Whether the proposed collections
of information are necessary for the
proper performance of the agencies’
functions, including whether the
information has practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the agencies’
estimates of the burden of the proposed
information collections, 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 collections 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 and will be summarized or
included in the agencies’ requests for
OMB approval. All comments will
become a matter of public record.

1 For simplicity, and unless otherwise indicated,
this notice uses the term ‘‘bank’’ to include banks,
savings associations, and bank holding companies
(BHCs). The terms ‘‘bank holding company’’ and
‘‘BHC’’ refer only to bank holding companies
regulated by the Board and do not include savings
and loan holding companies regulated by the OTS.

covered by this notice, refer to Section 1(b) of the

FDIC, and the OTS (collectively, 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 Federal
Financial Institutions Examination
Council (FFIEC), of which the agencies

comment of proposed new regulatory
reporting requirements for banks 1 that
are subject to the agencies’ revised
market risk capital rules. The proposal
describes the scope of reporting and the
proposed reporting requirements. At the
end of the comment period, the
comments and recommendations
received will be analyzed to determine
the extent to which the FFIEC should
modify the proposed reporting
requirements prior to giving its final
approval. The agencies will then submit
the proposed reporting requirements to
OMB for review and approval and, upon
approval, OMB will assign control
numbers.
