Interagency Guidance on Leveraged Lending

Key Information

Abstract

This guidance outlines for agency-supervised institutions 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, pipeline portfolio management, and risk management expectations for exposures held by the institution. This guidance applies to all financial institutions supervised by the OCC, Board, and FDIC that engage in leveraged lending activities. The number of community banks with substantial involvement in leveraged lending is small; therefore, the agencies generally expect community banks to be largely unaffected by this guidance.

Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program Performance Reporting Form 2

Key Information

Abstract

Section 511 of the Social Security Act created the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV) and authorized the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) (in Section 511(h)(2)(A)) to award grants to Indian tribes (or a consortium of Indian tribes), tribal organizations, or urban Indian organizations to conduct an early childhood home visiting program. The legislation set aside 3 percent of the total MIECHV program appropriation for grants to tribal entities. The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Child Care, in collaboration with the Health Resources and Services Administration, Maternal and Child Health Bureau, awards grants for the Tribal MIECHV Program. The Tribal MIECHV grant awards support 5-year cooperative agreements to implement high-quality, culturally-relevant, evidence-based home visiting programs in at-risk Tribal communities. Tribal MIECHV grants, to the greatest extent practicable, are to be consistent with the requirements of the MIECHV grants to states and jurisdictions (authorized in Section 511(c)), and include conducting a needs assessment and establishing quantifiable, measurable benchmarks. Specifically, the MIECHV legislation requires State and Tribal MIECHV grantees to collect data to measure improvements for eligible families in six specified areas (referred to as "benchmark areas") that encompass the major goals for the program and are listed below: 1. Improved maternal and newborn health 2. Prevention of child injuries, child abuse, neglect, or maltreatment, and reduction in emergency department visits 3. Improvement in school readiness and achievement 4. Reduction in crime or domestic violence 5. Improvement in family economic self-sufficiency 6. Improvement in the coordination and referrals for other community resources and supports As part of their implementation plans, Tribal MIECHV grantees are required to propose a plan for meeting the benchmark requirements specified in the legislation and must report performance data to HHS, with improvement assessed at the end of Year 4 and Year 5 of their 5-year grants. (With the American Rescue Plan Act, 19 of the 23 grantees received an additional year of funding and will report a “Year 6 “ of performance data). The Tribal Home Visiting (HV) Form 2 provides a template for Tribal MIECHV grantees to report data on their progress in improving performance under the six benchmark areas, as stipulated in the legislation. This request is for an extension with no changes to the Tribal MIECHV Form 2.

ICE Flight Manifest/Billing Agreement

Key Information

Abstract

OMB Circular A-126, Subject: Improving the Management and Use of Government Aircraft (May 22, 1992), requires that government agencies that fly non-official passengers in a Space Available status charge them the “full coach fare” cost of their seat on the government aircraft. Circular A-126 defines “full coach fare” as “a coach fare available to the general public between the day that the travel was planned and the day that the travel occurred.” Id. ¶ 4f. To properly bill these passengers, ICE must set up accounts receivable in the Federal Financial Management System (FFMS). Accounts receivable must be based on legally valid debts. The Flight Manifest/Billing Agreement (FM/BA) form will collect the contact information needed to send bills to these passengers from FFMS, and will document their agreement to be billed for their seats on these flights. The ICE Flight Manifest Information/Agreement To Reimburse form is used to collect information from members of the public, contractors, Federal employees, or dependents who intend to board ICE-chartered aircraft for purposes of evacuation. The purposes of the data collected on this form are two-fold. First, ICE will verify the individual’s identity before he/she boards an ICE-chartered aircraft to assess the safety of the aircraft, its crew, other passengers, and the United States. Further, the data collected on the form is also used in the event of an emergency to help ensure timely notification of points of contact designated by the passenger. Second, the form will confirm the agreement of Space Available passengers to be billed for their travel, and establish the names, addresses, and Social Security Number (SSN) or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) for billing and collection purposes. The ICE Senior Field Official(s) at the airfield of embarkation will collect pertinent data for flight manifest information from all persons wishing to fly on an ICE-chartered aircraft prior to their boarding of the aircraft. Only passengers flying in a Space Available status, that is, private persons not on official government travel orders, will be required to complete the relevant fields on the form stating the reason for Space Available travel and requesting their signature to document their agreement to be billed for their travel. In special emergency situations, the form may be completed in-flight. The ICE Senior Field Official(s) will then submit the completed forms and the flight manifest to the program office that chartered the flight and to the Emergency Management Unit via email, as soon as practicable upon completion of the flight.

Joint Standards for Assessing the Diversity Policies and Practices of Regulated Entities by the Agencies

Key Information

Abstract

Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Act) required the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and other Federal financial regulators (together, Agencies and separately, Agency) each to establish an Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) to be responsible for all Agency matters relating to diversity in management, employment, and business activities. The Act also instructed each Agency’s OMWI Director to develop standards for assessing the diversity policies and practices of entities regulated by that Agency. The Agencies worked together to develop joint standards (Joint Standards) and on June 10, 2015, they jointly published the “Final Interagency Policy Statement Establishing Joint Standards for Assessing the Diversity Policies and Practices of Entities Regulated by the Agencies” (Policy Statement). See 80 Fed. Reg. 33016. The Joint Standards contain information collections that fall within the scope of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). First, the Joint Standards include “Practices to Promote Transparency of Organizational Diversity and Inclusion,” which contemplate that a regulated entity makes certain information available to the public annually on its Web sites or through other appropriate communications methods, in a manner reflective of the entity’s size and other characteristics. The specific information referenced in these standards is (a) the entity’s diversity and inclusion strategic plan; (b) its policy on its commitment to diversity and inclusion; (c) its progress toward achieving diversity and inclusion in its workforce and procurement activities; and (d) opportunities available at the entity that promote diversity. Second, the Joint Standards address “Entities’ Self-Assessments,” which contemplate that a regulated entity, in a manner reflective of its size and other characteristics, (a) conducts an annual, voluntary self-assessment of its diversity policies and practices; (b) monitors and evaluates its performance under its diversity policies and practices on an ongoing basis; (c) provides information pertaining to its self-assessment to the OMWI Director of its primary federal financial regulator; and (d) publishes information pertaining to its efforts with respect to the Joint Standards. In order to facilitate the self-assessment and information collection described in the “Entities’ Self-Assessment” Joint Standards discussed above, the OCC developed the “Diversity Self-Assessment Template for OCC-Regulated Entities” (Template). This submission moves to a PDF version of the template from an Excel document.
