The market risk rule, which requires banking organizations to hold capital to cover their exposure to market risk, is an important component of the Board’s regulatory capital framework (12 CFR 217; Regulation Q). The respondents for this collection of information are bank holding companies (BHCs), savings and loan holding companies (SLHCs), intermediate holding companies, and state member banks that meet certain risk thresholds described below. There are no required reporting forms associated with this information collection (the FR 4201 designation is for internal purposes only).

The estimated total annual burden for the FR 4201 is 70,704 hours, and would decrease to 13,148 hours with the adopted revisions. The decrease in burden results primarily from a decrease in the estimated number of respondents for the prior written approvals required by sections 217.203, .204, .206, .208, and .209 of the market risk rule. The Board believes that few, if any, additional entities will request such prior approvals in the next three years. Additionally, a number of provisions of the market risk rule that were previously included as information collections in FR 4201 have been omitted from this proposal, as they are not collections of information under the PRA.
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 and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
