Title: Prompt Corrective Action. OMB Number: 3064-0115. Form Number: None. Affected Public: State non-member banks and savings associations. Burden Estimate: Summary of Annual Burden -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimated Estimated Total annual Type of burden Obligation to number of frequency of Estimated time Frequency of estimated respond respondents responses per response response burden -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prompt Corrective Action (12 Reporting........

The collection consists of applications to engage in otherwise restricted activities. The Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) provisions of section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act require or permit the FDIC and other federal banking agencies to take certain supervisory actions when FDIC-insured institutions fall within certain capital categories. They also restrict or prohibit certain activities and require the submission of a capital restoration plan when an insured institution becomes undercapitalized. Various provisions of the statute and the FDIC's implementing regulations require the prior approval of the FDIC before an FDIC- supervised institution, or certain insured depository institutions, can engage in certain activities, or allow the FDIC to make exceptions to restrictions that would otherwise be imposed. This collection of information consists of the applications that are required to obtain the FDIC's prior approval. There is no change in the method or substance of the collection. The overall reduction in burden hours is the result of economic fluctuation. In particular, the number of respondents has decreased while the hours per response and frequency of responses have remained the same. 2. Title: Liquidity Coverage Ratio: Liquidity Risk Measurement, Standards, and Monitoring (LCR). OMB Number: 3064-0197. Form Number: None. Affected Public: State savings associations and State nonmember banks that (i) have total consolidated [[Page 61759]] assets equal to $250 billion or more; (ii) have total consolidated on- balance sheet foreign exposure equal to $10 billion or more; or (iii) have total consolidated assets equal to $10 billion or more and are a consolidated subsidiary of one of the following: (A) a covered depository institution holding company or depository institution that has total assets equal to $250 billion or more; (B) a covered depository institution holding company or depository institution that has total consolidated on-balance sheet foreign exposure equal to $10 billion or more; or (C) a company that has been designated by the Financial Stability Oversight Council for supervision by the Federal Reserve Board.

The reporting and recordkeeping requirements are found in Sections 329.22 and 329.40. The requirement is designed to promote the short-term resilience of the liquidity risk profile of large and internationally active banking organizations, thereby improving the banking sector's ability to absorb shocks arising from financial and economic stress, and to further improve the measurement and management of liquidity risk. The LCR rule establishes a quantitative minimum liquidity coverage ratio that requires a company subject to the rule to maintain an amount of high-quality liquid assets (the numerator of the ratio) that is no less than 100 percent of its total net cash outflows over a prospective 30 calendar-day period (the denominator of the ratio). The FDIC has reviewed its previous PRA submission and has updated its methodology for calculating the burden in order to be consistent with the Office of the Controller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve Board. The overall increase in burden hours is the result of these changes. Request for Comment Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of the FDIC's functions, including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the estimates of the burden of the 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; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collections of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. All comments will become a matter of public record. Dated at Washington, DC, on December 22, 2017. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Valerie J. Best, Assistant Executive Secretary.
