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.
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of title 44 generally 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 a revision to this collection.
Title: Survey of OCC-Supervised Community Banks.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0236.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
Description: The OCC has a continuing commitment to assess its
efforts to provide support and technical assistance to OCC-supervised
national banks and Federal savings associations (community banks) that
primarily serve the communities in which they are located. To perform
this assessment, it is necessary to obtain from community banks
feedback on the effectiveness of the OCC's current efforts and
suggestions for enhancing its supervisory efforts and assistance.
Previously, the OCC limited the scope of its survey to a specific
subset of community banks. The OCC is revising this information
collection to remove this subset limitation. This revision provides the
OCC with flexibility in administering the survey and enables the agency
to determine which community banks to survey each year considering
various factors such as specific business models.
Using the Survey of OCC-Supervised Community Banks,<SUP>1</SUP> the
OCC will collect non-generalizable information about customer
satisfaction. The OCC will use this information to assess the needs of
the community banks surveyed and its current efforts to address those
needs. This information will enable the OCC to focus and enhance its
supervisory, training, and outreach activities with respect to
community banks.
Estimated Frequency of Response: Annually.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 827.
Estimated Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Number of Hours per Response: 2 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,654 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:
[[Page 24314]]
(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.
