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 before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, the OCC is publishing notice of the
proposed collection of information set forth in this document.
Title: OCC Supplier Registration Form.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0316.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 17 hours.
Abstract: Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act requires the OCC to develop and implement
standards and procedures to ensure, to the maximum extent possible, the
fair inclusion and utilization of minorities, women, and minority-owned
and women-owned businesses in all business and activities of the agency
at all levels, including procurement, insurance, and all types of
contracts \1\ and to develop standards for coordinating technical
assistance to such businesses.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 12 U.S.C. 5452(c)(1).
\2\ 12 U.S.C. 5452(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to comply with the Congressional mandate to develop
standards for the fair inclusion and utilization of minority- and
women-owned businesses and to provide effective technical assistance to
these businesses, the OCC developed an ongoing system to collect up-to-
date contact information and capabilities statements from potential
suppliers. This information allows the OCC to update and enhance its
internal database of interested minority- and women-owned businesses.
This information also allows the OCC to measure the effectiveness of
its technical assistance and outreach efforts and to target areas where
additional outreach efforts are necessary.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized
and included in the request for OMB approval. The OCC invites comment
on:
(a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the OCC, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the OCC's estimate of the burden of the
collection of information;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information 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.

Deputy Chief Counsel, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
