To comply with this requirement, the OCC is publishing notice of the collection of information set forth in this document.
Title: Funding and Liquidity Risk Management.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0244.
Description: The Interagency Policy Statement on Funding and Liquidity Risk Management \2\ (Policy Statement) summarizes the principles of sound liquidity risk management that the federal banking agencies have issued in the past \3\ and, where appropriate, harmonizes these principles with the international statement issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision titled ``Principles for Sound Liquidity Risk Management and Supervision.'' \4\ The Policy Statement describes supervisory expectations for all depository institutions including banks, savings associations, and credit unions.

\2\ 75 FR 13656 (Mar. 22, 2010).
\3\ For national banks and federal savings associations, see the Comptroller's Handbook on Liquidity. For state member banks and bank holding companies, see the Federal Reserve's Commercial Bank Examination Manual (section 4020), Bank Holding Company Supervision Manual (section 4010), and Trading and Capital Markets Activities Manual (section 2030). For state non-member banks, see the FDIC's Revised Examination Guidance for Liquidity and Funds Management (Trans. No. 2002-01) (Nov. 19, 2001), and Financial Institution Letter 84-2008, Liquidity Risk Management (August 2008). For federally insured credit unions, see Letter to Credit Unions No. 02-

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 14 of the Policy Statement provides that financial institutions should consider liquidity costs, benefits, and risks in strategic planning and budgeting processes. Significant business activities should be evaluated for liquidity risk exposure as well as profitability. More complex and sophisticated financial institutions should incorporate liquidity costs, benefits, and risks in the internal product pricing, performance measurement, and new product approval process for all material business lines, products, and activities. Incorporating the cost of liquidity into these functions should align the risk-taking incentives of individual business lines with the liquidity risk exposure their activities create for the institution as a whole. The quantification and attribution of liquidity risks should be explicit and transparent at the line management level, and should include consideration of how liquidity would be affected under stressed conditions.
Section 20 of the Policy Statement states that liquidity risk reports should provide aggregate information with sufficient supporting detail to enable management to assess the sensitivity of the institution to changes in market conditions, its own financial performance, and other important risk factors. Institutions also should report on the use and availability of government support, such as lending and guarantee programs, and implications on liquidity positions, particularly since these programs are generally temporary or reserved as a source for contingent funding.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,171.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 84,464 hours.
Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the information collections are necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the OCC, including whether the information has practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the OCC's estimate of the information collection burden;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;
