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. The OCC asks
that OMB extend its approval of the collection in this notice.
Title: Securities Exchange Act Disclosure Rules.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0106.
Abstract: This submission covers an existing regulation and
involves no change to the regulation or to the information collection
requirements. The OCC requests only that OMB approve its revised burden
estimates.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is required by statute
to collect, in accordance with its regulations, certain information and
documents from any firm that is required to register its stock with the
SEC.\1\ Federal law requires the OCC to apply similar regulations to
any national bank or Federal savings association similarly required to
be registered with the SEC (generally those with a class of equity
securities held by 2,000 or more shareholders).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 15 U.S.C. 78m(a)(1).
\2\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(i).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
12 CFR part 11 ensures that a national bank or Federal savings
association whose securities are subject to registration provides
adequate information about its operations to current and potential
shareholders and the public. The OCC reviews the information to ensure
that it complies with Federal law and makes public all information
required to be filed under the rule.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Individuals; Businesses or other for-profit.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 44.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 332.02 hours.
On May 23, 2022, the OCC published a 60-day notice for this
information collection, 87 FR 31298. No comments were received.
Comments continue to be invited on:
(a) Whether the information collections 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,
[[Page 56752]]
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.
