SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal

information that they conduct or sponsor. ``Collection of information''
is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) to include agency
requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports,
keep records, or provide information to a third party. The OCC asks OMB
to extend its approval of the information collection in this notice.
Title: Supervisory Guidance on Stress Testing for Banking
Organizations with Total Consolidated Assets of More Than $10 Billion.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0312.
Description: On May 17, 2012, the OCC, along with the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve (FRB), published guidance in the Federal Register on
the use of stress testing as a means to better understand the range of
a banking organization's \1\ potential risk exposures.\2\ The OCC is
now seeking to renew the information collection associated with that
guidance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ For purposes of this guidance, the term ``banking
organization'' means national banks, federal savings associations,
and federal branches and agencies supervised by the OCC; state
member banks, bank holding companies, savings and loan holding
companies, and all other institutions for which the Federal Reserve
is the primary federal supervisor; and state nonmember banks, and
all other institutions for which the FDIC is the primary federal
supervisor.
\2\ 77 FR 29458 (May 17, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The guidance provides an overview of how a banking organization
should structure its stress testing activities to ensure that those
activities fit into the banking organization's overall risk management.
The purpose of the guidance is to outline broad principles for a
satisfactory stress testing framework and describe how stress testing
should be used. While the guidance is not intended to provide detailed
instructions for conducting stress testing for any particular risk or
business area, it does describe several types of stress testing
activities and how they may be most appropriately used by banking
organizations. The guidance also does not explicitly address the stress
testing requirements imposed upon certain banking organizations by
section 165(i) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Public Law 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010), as revised by the
Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act,
Public Law 115-174, 132 Stat. 1296-1368 (2018), and codified at 12
U.S.C. 5365(i)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 62.
Estimated annual burden: 16,120 hours.
On July 13, 2021, the OCC published a notice for 60 days of comment
concerning this collection, 86 FR 36866. No comments were received.
Comments continue to be solicited on:
(a) Whether the collections of information are necessary for the
proper performance of the OCC's functions, including whether the
information has practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the OCC's estimates of the burden of the
information collections, including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of information collections on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology; and
(e) Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
