request.
Sections ll.6(d)(1)(i) and
ll.6(d)(1)(ii) require each IDI within
60 days of the end of each calendar
quarter to provide each supervisory

information for which confidential
treatment is sought and an explanation
justifying the request; or (2) a list of all
covered agreements entered into by the
IDI or affiliate during the calendar
quarter.
Section ll.6(d)(2) requires an IDI or
affiliate to provide any relevant
supervisory agency with a complete
copy and public version of any covered
