SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the OMB for each collection of
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. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of title 44 requires Federal agencies to provide a 60-day
notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed extension of an existing
collection of information, before submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this requirement, the OCC is publishing notice
of the renewal of the collection of information set forth in this
document.
Title: Survey of Minority Owned Institutions.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0236.
Type of Review: Regular review.
Description: The OCC is committed to assessing its efforts to
provide supervisory support, technical assistance, education, and other
outreach to the minority-owned institutions under its supervision, in
accordance with meeting the goals prescribed under section 308 of the
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of
1989.\1\ To perform this assessment, it is necessary to obtain feedback
from the individual institutions on the effectiveness of the OCC's
current efforts in these areas and suggestions on how the OCC might
enhance or augment its supervision and technical assistance going
forward. The OCC uses the information gathered to assess the needs of
minority-owned institutions and its efforts to meet those needs. The
OCC also uses the information to focus and enhance its supervisory,
technical assistance, education, and other outreach activities with
respect to minority-owned institutions.
