Proposal Under OMB Delegated Authority To Extend for Three Years, Without Revision, the Following Information Collection

Collection title: Complex Institution Liquidity Monitoring Report.

Collection identifier: FR 2052a.

OMB control number: 7100-0361.

General description of collection: The FR 2052a collects quantitative information on select assets, liabilities, funding activities, and contingent liabilities of certain banking organizations. The Board uses this information to monitor the liquidity profile of these banking organizations.

The data collected by the FR 2052a provide detailed information about the liquidity risks within different business lines ( e.g., financing of securities positions or prime brokerage activities) of certain large banking organizations supervised by the Board. The Board's supervisory surveillance program relies on this data, which provide timely information about banking organization-specific liquidity risks during periods of stress. The Board uses analyses of liquidity risk to inform its supervisory processes, including the preparation of analytical reports that detail funding vulnerabilities. FR 2052a data also contribute to the Board's supervisory monitoring efforts by identifying potential impediments to the movement of liquidity across legal entities. In addition, the FR 2052a provides detailed information that the Board uses to monitor compliance with the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) rules under the Board's Regulation WW-Liquidity Risk Measurement, Standards, and Monitoring (12 CFR part 249)

General comments on whether the Board's estimates are reasonable, underestimated, or overestimated are also welcome.
