During the comment period for this proposal, a copy of the proposed
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

Request for Comment on Information Collection Proposal
The Board invites public comment on the following information

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

within the meaning of section 5(c)(5) of the Bank Holding Company Act
of 1956; branches and agencies of foreign banks (other than federal
branches, federal agencies, and insured state branches of foreign
banks); and commercial lending companies owned or controlled by foreign
banks (collectively, banking organizations); and the employees of these
banking organizations who act as residential MLOs.
