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 this collection.
    Title: Supervisory Guidance: Supervisory Review Process of Capital 
Adequacy (Pillar 2) Related to the Implementation of the Basel II 
Advanced Capital Framework.
    OMB Control No.: 1557-0242.
    Frequency of Response: Event-generated.
    Affected Public: National banks and Federal savings associations 
subject to the advanced approaches capital rule.
    Abstract: In 2008, the OCC, Board of Governors of the Federal 
Reserve System, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation issued a 
supervisory guidance document to assist banking organizations in 
implementing the supervisory review process, or Pillar 2, of the 
advanced approaches risk-based capital rule.\1\ Therefore, this 
guidance is relevant for OCC-supervised national banks and Federal 
savings associations (collectively, banks) that are subject to the 
advanced approaches capital rule.\2\ It does not apply to small banks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See 12 CFR 3.100(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Paragraphs 37, 41, 43, and 46 of the guidance contain information 
collections. Paragraph 37 provides that banks should clearly state the 
definition of capital used in any aspect of its internal capital 
adequacy assessment process (ICAAP) and document any changes in the 
internal definition of capital. Paragraph 41 provides that banks should 
maintain thorough documentation of ICAAP. Paragraph 43 specifies that 
the board of director should approve the bank's ICAAP, review it on a 
regular basis, and approve any changes. Boards of directors, under 
paragraph 46, should periodically, and at least annually, review the 
assessment of overall capital adequacy and analyze how measures of 
internal capital adequacy compare with other capital measures (such as 
regulatory or accounting).
    Estimated Burden:
    Number of Respondents: 20.
    Estimated Burden per Respondent: 140 hours.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: 2,800 hours.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will become 
a matter of public record. Comments are invited on:
    <bullet> Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the OCC, including whether the 
information has practical utility;
    <bullet> The accuracy of the OCC's estimate of the burden of the 
collection of information;
    <bullet> Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected;
    <bullet> Ways to minimize the burden of the collection on 
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology; and
    <bullet> Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of 
operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide 
information.
