SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.),
Federal agencies must obtain approval from 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 and/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: Guidance on Sound Incentive Compensation Policies.
OMB Number: 1557-0245.
Description: Under the guidance, each large national bank and
Federal savings association should: (i) have policies and procedures
that identify and describe the role(s) of the personnel and units
authorized to be involved in developing and administering incentive
compensation arrangements, identify the source of significant risk-
related factors, establish appropriate controls governing these factors
to help ensure their reliability, and identify the individual(s) and
unit(s) whose approval is necessary for the establishment or
modification of incentive compensation arrangements; (ii) create and
maintain sufficient documentation to permit an audit of the
organization's processes for developing and administering incentive
compensation arrangements; (iii) have any material exceptions or
adjustments to the incentive compensation arrangements established for
senior executives approved and documented by its board of directors;
and (iv) have its board of directors receive and review, on an annual
or more frequent basis, an assessment by management of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the organization's
incentive compensation system in providing risk-taking incentives that
are consistent with the organization's safety and soundness. The
principles discussed in the guidance will vary with the size and
complexity of a banking organization, and monitoring methods for small
banks are not directly addressed by these four policies and procedures
in the guidance.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents for Yearly Maintenance: 1,093 (38
large banks; 1,055 small banks).
Estimated Number of Respondents for Setup: 1 large bank; 1 small

Estimated Burden per Respondent: 520 hours for large banks (480
hours for set up; 40 hours for yearly maintenance); 120 hours for small
banks (60 hours for set up; 30 hours for yearly maintenance).
Total Annual Burden: 33,740 hours.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
All comments will be considered in formulating the subsequent
submission and become a matter of public record. Comments are invited
on:
(a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the OCC, including whether the
information has practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the OCC's estimate of the information
collection burden;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
