SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), 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 requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each renewal 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 the renewal of the collection
of information set forth in this
document.

if the portfolio
of the entity consists exclusively of
assets that a national bank may
purchase and sell for its own account.
The OCC uses the information
contained in the request as a basis for
ensuring that the bank’s investment is
consistent with its investment authority
under applicable law and does not pose
unacceptable risk. Under 12 CFR 1.7(b),
a national bank may request OCC
approval to extend the five-year holding
period for securities held in satisfaction
of debts previously contracted for up to
an additional five years. In its request,
the bank must provide a clearly
convincing demonstration of why the
additional holding period is needed.
The OCC uses the information in the
request to ensure, on a case-by-case
basis, that the bank’s purpose in
retaining the securities is not
speculative and that the bank’s reasons
for requesting the extension are
adequate. The OCC also uses the
information to evaluate the risks to the
bank in extending the holding period,
including potential effects on the bank’s
safety and soundness.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
25.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 460
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
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:
(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.
