will consider all comments received from the public and other agencies.

PRA OMB submission, including the draft reporting form and 
instructions, supporting statement (which contains more detail about 
the information collection and burden estimates than this notice), and 
other documentation, will be made available on the Board's public

Request for Comment on Information Collection Proposal

    The Board invites public comment on the following information 
collection, which is being reviewed under authority delegated by the 
OMB under the PRA. Comments are invited on the following:
    a. Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the Board's functions, including whether the 
information has practical utility;
    b. The accuracy of the Board's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    c. Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected;
    d. Ways to minimize the burden of information collection on 
respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology; and
    e. Estimates of capital or startup costs and costs of operation, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
    At the end of the comment period, the comments and recommendations 
received will be analyzed to determine the extent to which the Board 
should modify the proposal.

Proposal Under OMB Delegated Authority To Extend for Three Years, With 
Revision, the Following Information Collection

    Collection title: Recordkeeping and Disclosure Requirements 
Associated with Regulation CC.
    Collection identifier: FR CC.
    OMB control number: 7100-0235.
    General description of collection: Regulation CC requires banks to 
make funds deposited in transaction accounts available within specified 
time periods, disclose their funds availability policies to customers, 
begin accruing interest on such deposits promptly, and provide certain 
notices in connection with the nonpayment of certain checks. Regulation 
CC also requires banks to provide consumer awareness disclosures and 
other notices regarding substitute checks. Regulation CC includes model 
disclosure forms, clauses, notices, and commentary to ease compliance 
with these requirements.
    Proposed revisions: The Board proposes to revise the FR CC to take 
into account sections 229.10(c)(3), 229.31(f), and 229.32(d) of 
Regulation CC, which contain information collection provisions but had 
not been included in previous clearances.

Section 229.10(c)(3) Special Deposit Slip

    As a condition to making the funds available for withdrawal not 
later than the business day after the banking day on which the funds 
are deposited, a depositary bank may require that certain types of 
checks be deposited with a special deposit slip or deposit envelope 
that identifies the type of check. If a depositary bank requires the 
use of a special deposit slip or deposit envelope, the bank must either 
provide the special deposit slip or deposit envelope to its customers 
or inform its customers how the slip or envelope may be prepared or 
obtained and make the slip or envelope reasonably available.

229.31(f) and 229.32(d) Notices of Nonpayment

    Paying bank notice in lieu of return--If a check is unavailable for 
return, the paying bank may send in its place a copy of the front and 
back of the returned check, or, if no such copy is available, a written 
notice of nonpayment containing the information specified in section 
229.31(c)(2) of Regulation CC.
    Returning bank notice in lieu of return--If a check is unavailable 
for return, the returning bank may send in its place a copy of the 
front and back of the returned check, or, if no such copy is available, 
a written notice of nonpayment containing the information specified in 
section 229.31(c) of Regulation CC.
    Frequency: Event-generated.
    Respondents: State member banks and uninsured state branches and 
agencies of foreign banks.
    Total estimated number of respondents: 668 (except for Special 
deposit slip and Notice of changes in policy, 100).
    Total estimated change in burden: 25.
    Total estimated annual burden hours: 134,352.

Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Benjamin W. McDonough,
Deputy Secretary and Ombuds of the Board.
