ACTION: Request for comments; extension of comment period.
SUMMARY: On December 20, 2004, the federal banking agencies (Board, FDIC, OCC, and

standardize and expand the data collected from regulated institutions in order to improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of Shared National Credit (SNC) examinations. By standardizing
and expanding the collection of data, the Agencies will be able to use advanced credit risk
analytics that will be beneficial to the reporting banks and the Agencies. The Agencies are
extending the comment period to give the public additional time to submit comments on the
proposal.
