SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The OCC is proposing to extend OMB
approval of the following information
collection:
Title: Release of Non-Public
Information—12 CFR 4, Subpart C.
OMB Number: 1557–0200.
Form Number: None.
Abstract: This submission covers an
existing regulation and involves no
change to the regulation or to the
information collections embodied in the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:14 Oct 12, 2005
Jkt 208001
regulation. The OCC requests only that
OMB renew its approval of the
information collections in the current
regulation.
The information collection is required
to protect non-public OCC information
from unnecessary disclosure in order to
ensure that national banks and the OCC
engage in a candid dialogue during the
bank examination process. Individuals
who request non-public OCC
information are required to provide the
OCC with information regarding the
requester’s legal grounds for the request.
Inappropriate release of information
would inhibit open consultation
between a bank and the OCC.
The information requirements in 12
CFR part 4, subpart C, are located as
follows:
12 CFR 4.33: Request for non-public
OCC records or testimony.
12 CFR 4.35(b)(3): Third parties
requesting testimony.
12 CFR 4.36(a)(2): OCC former
employee notifying OCC of subpoena.
12 CFR 4.37(a) and (b): Agreement to
limit dissemination of released
information.
12 CFR 4.38(d): Request for
authenticated records or certificate of
nonexistence of records.
The OCC uses the information to
process requests for non-public OCC
information and to determine if
sufficient grounds exist for the OCC to
release the requested information or
provide testimony. This information
collection makes the mechanism for
processing requests more efficient and
facilitates and expedites the OCC’s
release of non-public information and
testimony to the requester.
Type of Review: Extension, without
change, of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit; individuals.
Number of Respondents: 110.
Total Annual Responses: 170.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Total Annual Burden: 467 hours.
Comments: 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
agency, including whether the
information has practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the agency’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

and costs of operation, maintenance,
and purchase of services to provide
information.
