Collection identifier: FR Y-12, FR Y-12A.

OMB control number: 7100-0300.

Effective Date: December 31, 2023.

The Board uses the FR Y-12 report to monitor the growth in equity investments in nonfinancial companies and their contributions to capital, profitability, risk, and volatility. The Board uses the FR Y-12A report to monitor investments that are approaching the end of their applicable holding periods.

Frequency: Quarterly, semiannually, annually.

Respondents: Bank holding companies, savings and loan holding companies, U.S. intermediate holding companies, and certain FHCs.

Total estimated number of respondents: 31.

Current actions: On July 19, 2023, the Board published a notice in the Federal Register (88 FR 46161) requesting public comment for 60 days on the extension, with revision, of the FR Y-12 and FR Y-12A. The Board proposed to revise the FR Y-12 and FR Y-12A instructions by clarifying when respondents should submit their reports when the submission deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, modifying and clarifying recordkeeping requirements, clarifying the reported amount of a firm's aggregate nonfinancial equity investment, clarifying which columns are applicable to certain FR Y-12 schedules, and aligning the two reports' submission deadlines. The comment period for this notice expired on September 18, 2023. The Board did not receive any comments. The revisions will be implemented as originally proposed.
