Abstract: The OCC issued guidelines, codified in 12 CFR part 30, appendix D, establishing minimum standards for the design and implementation of a risk governance framework for certain insured national banks, insured Federal savings associations, and insured Federal branches of a foreign bank (collectively, bank(s)). The guidelines also established minimum standards for a board of directors in overseeing the framework’s design and implementation. The guidelines apply to a covered bank. The term “covered bank” means any bank with average total consolidated assets: (i) equal to or greater than $50 billion; (ii) less than $50 billion if that bank’s parent company controls at least one covered bank; or (iii) less than $50 billion if the OCC determines such bank’s operations are highly complex or otherwise present a heightened risk as to warrant the application of the guidelines. The OCC adopted the guidelines pursuant to section 39 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDIA), which authorizes the OCC to prescribe operational and managerial standards for insured national banks, insured Federal savings associations, and insured Federal branches of a foreign bank. This ICR is being filed in connection with an OCC-issued proposed rule that would amend the above-referenced guidelines to increase the average total consolidated assets threshold for applying the guidelines from $50 billion to $700 billion. The proposal would implement this change, in part, by modifying the guidelines’ definition of the term “covered bank.” Under this revised definition, the term “covered bank” would mean any insured national bank, insured Federal savings association, or insured Federal branch of a foreign bank: (i) with average total consolidated assets equal to or greater than $700 billion; (ii) with average total consolidated assets less than $700 billion if that bank’s parent company controls at least one covered bank; or (iii) with average total consolidated assets less than $700 billion if the OCC determines such bank’s operations are highly complex or otherwise present a heightened risk. The proposed revisions would affect the number of respondents required to comply with the guidelines’ recordkeeping requirements.
