    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, as detailed in the paragraph. 
Paragraph 43 specifies that the board of directors should approve the 
bank's ICAAP, review it on a regular basis, and approve any changes. 
Paragraph 46 provides that the board of directors and appropriate 
senior management should periodically, but 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, accounting-based, or market-determined).
    Estimated Burden:
    Number of Respondents: 20.
    Estimated Burden per Respondent: 140 hours.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: 2,800.
