SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC received no comments in response to its first Paperwork Reduction Act renewal notice regarding this information collection which was published in the Federal Register (70 FR 3769) on January 26, 2005. Title: (MA)-Loans in Areas Having Special Flood Hazards (12 CFR 22). OMB Number: 1557–0202. Form Number: None. Abstract: This information collection covers an existing regulation and involves no change to the regulation or the information collection. The OCC requests only that OMB renew its approval of the information collection in the current regulation. The regulation requires national banks to make disclosures and keep records regarding whether a property securing a loan is located in a special flood hazard area. This information collection is required by section 303(a) and title V of the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act, Pub. L. 103–325, title V, 108 Stat. 2160, the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 amendments to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 4104a and 4104b) and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 (12 U.S.C. 4012a and 4106(b)), and by OCC regulations implementing those statutes located at 12 CFR 22.6, 22.7, 22.9, and 22.10. The information collections are as follows: 12 CFR 22.6 requires a national bank to use and maintain a copy of the Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form developed by FEMA. 12 CFR 22.7 requires a national bank or its loan servicer, if a borrower has not obtained adequate flood insurance, to notify the borrower to obtain adequate flood insurance or the bank or servicer will purchase flood insurance on the borrower’s behalf. 12 CFR 22.9 requires a national bank making a loan secured by a building or a mobile home to advise the borrower and the loan servicer that the property is, or is not, located in a special flood hazard area, if flood insurance is available under the National Flood Insurance Program, and if Federal disaster relief may be available in the event of flooding. The bank must maintain a record of the borrower’s and loan servicer’s receipts of these notices. 12 CFR 22.10 requires a national bank making a loan secured by a building or a mobile home located in a special flood hazard area to notify FEMA of the PO 00000 Frm 00112 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 identity of the servicer, and of any change in servicers. These information collections ensure bank compliance with applicable Federal law, further bank safety and soundness, provide protections for banks and the public, and further public policy interests. Type of Review: Renewal of OMB approval without change. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit. Number of Respondents: 2,300. Total Annual Responses: 230,000. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Total Annual Burden Hours: 58,650. Comments: All comments will become a matter of public record.
