SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The OCC is requesting comment on the following revision to an approved information collection:
Title: Company-Run Annual Stress Test Reporting Template and Documentation for Covered Institutions with Total Consolidated Assets of $250 Billion or More under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0319.
Description: Section 165(i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act? 1 (Dodd-Frank Act) requires certain financial companies, including national banks and federal savings associations, to conduct annual stress tests? 2 and requires the primary financial regulatory agency? 3 of those financial companies to issue regulations implementing the stress test requirements. 4 Under section 165(i)(2), a covered institution is required to submit to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) and to its primary financial regulatory agency a report at such time, in such form, and containing such information as the primary financial regulatory agency may require. 5

5 ?12 U.S.C. 5365(i)(2)(B).
On October 9, 2012, the OCC published in the Federal Register a final rule implementing the section 165(i)(2) annual stress test requirement. 6 This rule describes the reports and information collections required to meet the reporting requirements under section 165(i)(2). These information collections will be given confidential treatment (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)) to the extent permitted by law.
Footnotes:
6 ?77 FR 61238 (October 9, 2012) (codified at 12 CFR part 46).
In 2012, the OCC first implemented the reporting templates referenced in the final rule. See 77 FR 49485 (August 16, 2012) and 77 FR 66663 (November 6, 2012). The OCC uses the data collected to assess the reasonableness of the stress test results of covered institutions and to provide forward-looking information to the OCC regarding a covered institution's capital adequacy. The OCC also may use the results of the stress tests to determine whether additional analytical techniques and exercises could be appropriate to identify, measure, and monitor risks at the covered institution. The stress test results are expected to support ongoing improvement in a covered institution's stress testing practices with respect to its internal assessments of capital adequacy and overall capital planning. The OCC proposed new changes to these templates on October 27, 2021. 7

7 ?87 FR 52560 (August 26, 2022).
[top] The OCC recognizes that many covered institutions with total consolidated assets of $250 billion or more are required to submit reports using reporting form FR Y-14A. 8 The OCC also recognizes the Board has made modifications to the FR Y-14A and, to the extent practical, the OCC is keeping its reporting requirements consistent with the Board's FR Y-14A to minimize burden on covered institutions. Therefore, the OCC is revising its reporting requirements to mirror the
Footnotes:
8 ? http://www.federalreserve.gov/reportforms.
The OCC's changes include only limited updates to reflect the changes made by the Board, and the OCC reporting forms will substantially resemble the forms used by the OCC last year. Many of the changes made by the Board are inapplicable to OCC-regulated institutions and involve new items that would not be collected by the OCC under the changes. The OCC's changes include the minimal adjustments necessary to align line items with placement on the 2022 FR Y-14A. The OCC is also changing the description of covered institutions required to complete the trading and counterparty credit risk (CCR) sub-schedules under the Global Market Shock (GMS) scenario to more closely align with the Board's description. The OCC does not expect these changes to impact the group of banks that have been required to submit under the GMS in prior years. The OCC's new reporting forms and instructions are available on the OCC's website at https://www.occ.treas.gov/publications-and-resources/forms/dodd-frank-act-stress-test/index-dodd-frank-act-stress-test.html.
Type of Review: Revision. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 4 annually and 4 biennially. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3,558 hours.
The OCC believes that the systems that covered institutions use to prepare the FR Y-14 reporting templates and submit to the Board will also be used to prepare the reporting templates described in this notice. On December 5, 2022, the OCC published a notice for 60 days of comment concerning this collection as revised, 87 FR 74470. No comments were received. Comments continue to be invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the OCC, including whether the information has practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the OCC's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection 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.
