Abstract

The OCC is conducting a climate risk range of practice among large banks with the purpose of developing an understanding of climate risk management practices as it pertains to climate-related financial risk. Climate risks can have a material impact on the financial system by damaging property, impeding business activity, shifting the values of assets, and affecting incomes. Banks are exposed to both physical risks and transition risks presented by climate change which may impact the safety and soundness of supervised institutions.

Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII) apply to manufacturers, owners and operators of new stationary compression ignition (CI) internal combustion engines (ICE). New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. For the purposes of this subpart, the date that construction commences is the date the engine is ordered by the owner or operator. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII.

Abstract

This Information Collection Request (ICR) amendment covers the proposed revisions to the Certification of Pesticide Applicators at 40 CFR Part 171, which regulates the certification of applicators of restricted use pesticides (RUPs), assuming that the proposed amendments become final. This ICR estimates the incremental burden of the proposed changes not already included in the currently approved ICR Certification of Pesticide Applicators (OMB No: 2070-0029) covering the current 40 CFR Part 171. The existing regulation has provisions for states, tribes, territories, and federal agencies that wish to certify applicators to use RUPs to submit certification plans to EPA for review and approval, and requirements to report on specific information related to applicator certification activities annually. The regulation has standards of competency for persons who are certified to apply RUPs, as well as requirements related to noncertified applicators who apply RUPs under the direct supervision of certified applicators. In addition, it already requires pesticide dealers to maintain records of RUP sales in areas where EPA administers an applicator certification program. EPA is proposing changes to the rule to improve the competency of certified applicators of RUPs and noncertified applicators who apply RUPs under the direct supervision of certified applicators. Proposed changes to the rule include new and revised standards for certification for commercial and private applicators, provisions for recertification of applicators, and training for noncertified applicators applying RUPs under the supervision of certified applicators. The proposal also includes changes to improve the clarity and organization of the rule and overall program operation. The proposed changes to the regulation are intended to ensure that all persons who use RUPs i.e., private applicators, commercial applicators, and noncertified applicators using RUPs under the direct supervision of certified applicators are competent to use RUPs in a manner that will not result in unreasonable adverse effects to themselves, others, or the environment. This amendment ICR estimates the burden and costs of the proposed changes related to information collection and includes: training for noncertified applicators applying RUPs under the direct supervision of certified applicators, recordkeeping of the noncertified applicator training, recordkeeping of RUP sales by pesticide dealerships under certification programs not administered by EPA, and costs to states, territories, tribes, and federal agencies to revise certification plans as needed to comply with the proposed requirements.

The Secretary is authorized to require any “resident or citizen of the United States or a person in, and doing business in, the United States, to . . . keep records and file reports, when the resident, citizen, or person makes a transaction or maintains a relation for any person with a foreign financial agency.” The term “foreign financial agency” (FFA) means any person engaging in any activities outside the United States as a “financial agency,” which the statute defines as “a person acting for a person . . . as a financial institution, bailee, depository trustee, or agent, or acting in a similar way related to money, credit, securities, gold, or a transaction in money, credit, securities or gold, or a service provided with respect to money, securities, futures, precious metals, stones and jewels, or value that substitutes for currency.” The regulations implementing reports of transactions with FFAs are found at 31 CFR 1010.360. 31 CFR 1010.360(a) authorizes the Secretary, when the Secretary deems appropriate, to promulgate regulations requiring specified financial institutions to file reports of certain transactions with designated FFAs. A regulation promulgated pursuant to 31 CFR 1010.360(a) must designate one or more categories of information to be reported by the financial institution as it relates to a designated FFA, including one or more of the following: (i) checks or drafts; (ii) transmittal orders; (iii) loans; (iv) commercial paper; (v) stocks; (vi) bonds; and (vii) certificates of deposit. 31 CFR 1010.430(d) requires that all records that must be retained pursuant to 31 CFR Chapter X, be retained for a period of five years.

Abstract

The OCC, FRB, and FDIC issued guidance on leveraged lending, setting forth high-level principles related to safe and sound leveraged lending activities, including underwriting considerations, assessing and documenting enterprise value, risk management expectations for credits awaiting distribution, stress testing expectations and portfolio management, and risk management expectations. All financial institutions should have the capacity to properly evaluate and monitor underwritten credit risks, to understand the effect of changes in borrowers' enterprise values upon credit portfolio quality, and to assess the sensitivity of future credit losses to changes in enterprise values. Under the guidance, institutions should have: (i) underwriting policies for leveraged lending, including stress-testing procedures for leveraged credits; (ii) risk management policies, including stress testing procedures for pipeline exposures; and (iii) policies and procedures for incorporating the results of leveraged credit and pipeline stress tests into the firm's overall stress-testing framework.
