SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501et seq.),
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, and/or provide information to a third
party. The OCC asks that OMB extend its approval of the collection in
this notice.
Title: Assessment of Fees.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0223.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
Type of Review: Regular review.
Abstract: The OCC is requesting comment on its proposed extension,
without change, of the information collection titled, ``Assessment of
Fees.'' The OCC is authorized by the National Bank Act (for national
banks and Federal branches and agencies) and the Home Owners' Loan Act
(for Federal savings associations) to collect assessments, fees, and
other charges as necessary or appropriate to carry out the
responsibilities of the OCC. 12 U.S.C. 16, 481, 482 and 1467. The OCC
requires independent credit card national banks and independent credit
card Federal savings associations (collectively, independent credit
card institutions) to pay an additional assessment based on receivables
attributable to accounts owned by the national bank or Federal savings
association. 12 CFR 8.2(c). Independent credit card institutions are
national banks or Federal savings associations that engage primarily in
credit card operations and are not affiliated with a full-service
national bank or full-service Federal savings association. 12 CFR
8.2(c)(3)(vi) and (vii). Under 12 CFR 8.2(c)(2), the OCC also has the
authority to assess an independent credit card institution that is
affiliated with a full-service national bank or full-service Federal
savings association if the OCC concludes that the affiliation is
intended to evade the requirements of 12 CFR part 8.
The OCC requires independent credit card institutions to report
receivables attributable data to the OCC semiannually or at a time
specified by the OCC. 12 CFR 8.2(c)(4). ``Receivables attributable''
are the total amount of outstanding balances due on credit card
accounts owned by independent credit card institutions (the receivables
attributable to those accounts) on the last day of an assessment period
minus receivables retained on the national bank or Federal savings
association's balance sheet as of that day. 12 CFR 8.2(c)(3)(viii). The
OCC uses the information to calculate the assessment for each national
bank and Federal savings association and adjust the assessment rate for
independent credit card institutions over time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 7.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 14 hours.
Comments: On August 11, 2022, the OCC published a 60-day notice for
this information collection, (87 FR 49651). No comments were received.
Comments continue to be 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
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.
