SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et 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, or provide information to a third party.
The OCC asks the OMB to extend its approval of the collection in this
notice.
Title: Bank Appeals Follow-Up Questionnaire.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0332.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
Description: The OCC's Office of the Ombudsman (Ombudsman) is
committed to assessing its efforts to provide a fair and expeditious
appeal process to institutions under OCC supervision. To perform this
assessment, it is necessary to obtain feedback from individual
appellant institutions on the effectiveness of the Ombudsman's efforts
to provide a fair and expeditious appeals process and suggestions on
ways to enhance the bank appeals process. For each Bank Appeals Follow-
Up Questionnaire submitted, the Ombudsman uses the information gathered
to assess the OCC's adherence to OCC Bulletin 2013-15, ``Bank Appeals
Process,'' dated June 7, 2013, and to enhance its bank appeals program.
Estimated Burden:
Estimated Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 5.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 0.85 hours.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The 60-Day FRN erroneously published the Estimated Total
Annual Burden as 85 hours. The burden number should have been
published as 0.85 hours.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comments: On May 31, 2024, the OCC published a 60-day notice for
this information collection, (89 FR 47236). 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 burden of the
collection of information;
(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.
