After the initial report, the Agencies must jointly submit follow-up reports to the Congress at least once every three years. Proposed Survey Panel The Agencies will select the survey panel based on whether the prospective respondent has affiliates with which it can share information, whether the prospective respondent is likely to be a user of consumer reports, and other factors. erjones on PROD1PC72 with NOTICES Estimated Annual Burden Hours Each respondent will complete a written Survey. In order to complete the Survey, the individual completing the form for the respondent will most likely need to consult staff in other parts of the organization and obtain data from recordkeeping systems. Based on the Agencies’ expertise and experience, we estimate the consultations and the collection of data will take between four and eight hours per respondent. The Agencies estimate it will then take less than two hours for each respondent to complete the Survey. However, numerous factors are likely to influence the amount of time it will take a respondent to complete the Survey, including the number and type of affiliates, as well as the diversity of information sharing practices among affiliates. Based on the methodology proposed, the total burden imposed by the initial study, for all six agencies, will be approximately 3,000 hours. Request for Comment The Agencies invite comment on: a. Whether the information collections are necessary for the proper performance of the Agencies’ functions, including whether the information has practical utility; b. The accuracy of the Agencies’ estimates of the burden of the information collections, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; c. Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and d. Ways to minimize the burden of information collections on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. In addition, the OCC invites comments on the following: aa. The specific data the Agencies should collect to prepare the report required by Section 214(e) of the Fact Act and the terminology that will best describe and correctly specify the data to be collected; VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:29 Aug 30, 2006 Jkt 208001 bb. If any data the Agencies should collect are not available, the type of proxy data the Agencies should request; cc. The extent to which depository institutions currently track and are able to report on the methods (e.g., telephone, online) used by consumers to opt-out of affiliate information sharing; and dd. Information related to recordkeeping practices or other aspects of the data specification and survey development process.
