The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on Thursday announced that it is seeking public comment on a proposal to require annual stress test reporting for financial institutions with consolidated assets of $50 billion or more.

The Dodd-Frank Act requires certain financial companies with total consolidated assets over $10 billion, including national banks and federal savings associations, to conduct annual stress tests. It also requires the primary financial regulatory agency of those financial companies to issue regulations implementing the stress test requirements. In January, the OCC published proposed rulemaking to implement those requirements. The new “notice of proposed information collection” describes the reports required in order for covered institutions with consolidated assets of $50 billion or more to meet the reporting requirements. Copies of the reporting templates referenced in the notice can be found here.

The OCC will soon publish a separate proposal addressing the reports required to be filed by covered institutions with assets between $10 and $50 billion.
