The FR Y-15 annual report collects systemic risk data from U.S. Bank Holding Companies (BHCs) with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more, and any U.S.-based organizations identified as global systemically important banks that do not otherwise meet the consolidated assets threshold for BHCs. The Federal Reserve uses the FR Y-15 data primarily to monitor, on an ongoing basis, the systemic risk profile of the institutions which are subject to enhanced prudential standards under section 165 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
The net decrease in burden reflects the removal of several burdensome items in response to public comment, partially offset by the addition of items consistent with revisions to international standards.
