Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Type of Review: Regular review.
Abstract: The OCC is requesting
comment on its proposed extension,
without change, of the information
collection titled, ‘‘Assessment of Fees—
12 CFR 8.’’ The National Bank Act
authorizes the OCC to collect
assessments, fees, and other charges as
necessary or appropriate to carry out the
responsibilities of the OCC. The OCC
will require national banks to provide
the OCC with ‘‘receivables attributable’’
data from independent credit card
banks, that is, national banks that
primarily engage in credit card
operations and are not affiliated with a
full service national bank. ‘‘Receivables
attributable’’ are the total amount of
outstanding balances due on credit card
accounts owned by an independent
credit card bank (the receivables
attributable to those accounts) on the
last day of an assessment period, minus
receivables retained on the bank’s
balance sheet as of that day. The OCC
will use the information to verify the
accuracy of each bank’s assessment
computation and to adjust the
assessment rate for independent credit
card banks over time.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
11.
Estimated Number of Responses: 22.
Frequency of Response:
Semiannually.
Estimated Time per Response: 1 hour.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 22
hours.
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:
