Short Statement: The estimated total annual burden for the FR H-1 is 331 hours, and would increase to 6,866 hours with the adopted revisions. The increase in estimated burden results from taking into account certain requirements that were not previously accounted for in the FR H-1, as well as a new, more accurate accounting of the burden associated with certain of the required forms. The number of respondents is estimated based on actual 2018 submissions. Very few SMBs have registered securities because most SMBs are controlled by a holding company that owns most or all of the bank’s shares, meaning that most SMBs do not have a class of equity security held by 2,000 or more shareholders or listed on a national exchange. Because most publicly held banking organizations are bank holding companies, only two SMBs currently submit these data. Each of the affected SMBs submits Form 10-K annually, Form 10-Q each quarter except for the quarter in which the Form 10-K is filed, and Form 8-K on occasion. The disclosure of Forms 3, 4, and 5 is also required occasionally. The rest of the forms and regulatory reporting requirements listed above have not been filed or triggered within the last five years, but because they are potentially required the table shows them as well. The Board has used the SEC’s estimates of average burden per response. It is likely that the actual burden incurred by affected SMBs is significantly less than these estimates, given the relatively small size and non-complex nature of these SMBs, and because SMBs that have no foreign offices and control total assets of less than $150 million may substitute the quarterly financial statements they submit as part of their Call Report in lieu of the financial statements required to be included as part of Form 10-Q.
