The information collections associated
with the Board’s Regulation W - Transactions Between Member Banks
and Their Affiliates (12 CFR Part 223) are triggered by specific
events, and there are no associated reporting forms (the FR W
designation is for internal purposes only). Filings are required
from insured depository institutions and uninsured member banks
(collectively, depository institutions) that seek to request
certain exemptions from the requirements of sections 23A and 23B.
The FR W is separate from the quarterly Holding Company Report of
Insured Depository Institutions’ Section 23A Transactions with
Affiliates (FR Y-8; OMB No. 7100-0126), which collects information
on transactions between an insured depository institution and its
affiliates that are subject to section 23A of the Federal Reserve
Act.
The estimated total annual
burden for the FR W is 24 hours, and would increase to 28 hours
with the revisions. The Board estimates that the average hours per
response for the two recordkeeping requirements would be 2 hours
each.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
