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: General Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements by Savings
Associations.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0266.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
Description: Federal savings associations must comply with the
following regulations, for the protection of mutual members, certain
pension plan participants, and certain buyers of securities.
<bullet> 12 CFR 144.8 (communications between members of a Federal
mutual savings association);
<bullet> 12 CFR 163.47(e) (pension plans--records); and
<bullet> 12 CFR 163.76(c) (offers and sales of securities at an
office of a Federal savings association--form of certification).
The disclosures and recordkeeping requirements reflected in this
collection are mandated by regulation. They serve, respectively, to
ensure communications between federal mutual savings associations'
members are reasonably possible but member privacy is respected, to
enforce diligent and prudent documentation of employee pension plans
where the protections applicable to larger employers do not apply, and
to ensure that buyers of a federal savings association's securities
understand the nature of the transaction and asset.
Estimated Burden
Estimated Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 166.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 16,218 hours.
Comments: On December 29, 2025, the OCC published a 60-day notice
for this information collection, (90 FR 60856). 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
[[Page 11374]]
OCC, including whether the information has practical utility;

(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.
