are correct. The mislabeling of these
tires creates no unsafe condition.
Goodyear states that the affected tire
molds have been modified and all future
production will have the correct
material information shown on the
sidewall.
Goodyear also points out that NHTSA
has previously granted petitions for
sidewall marking noncompliances that
it believes are similar to the present
noncompliance.
In summation, Goodyear states that it
believes that because the
noncompliances are inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety that no corrective
action is warranted.
NHTSA notes that the statutory
provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to
file petitions for a determination of
inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to
exempt manufacturers only from the
duties found in sections 30118 and
30120, respectively, to notify owners,
purchasers, and dealers of a defect or
noncompliance and to remedy the
defect or noncompliance. Therefore,
these provisions only apply to vehicles
and equipment that have already passed
from the manufacturer to an owner,
purchaser, or dealer.

ADDRESSES: You should direct all
written comments to: Communications
Division, Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency, Public Information Room,
Mailstop 1–5, Attention: 1557–0200,
250 E Street, SW., Washington, DC

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 Control No.: 1557–0200.
Form No.: None.
Description: This submission covers
an existing regulation and involves no
change to the regulation or to the
information collections embodied in the
regulation. The OCC requests only that
OMB renew its approval of the
information collections in the current
regulation.
The information requirements require
individuals who are requesting nonpublic OCC information to provide the
OCC with information regarding the
requester’s legal grounds for the request.

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 8 / Tuesday, January 13, 2009 / Notices
Release of non-public OCC information
when the requester did not have
sufficient legal grounds to obtain the
information would inhibit open
consultation between a bank and the
OCC, thereby impairing the OCC’s
supervisory and regulatory mission. The
OCC is entitled, under statute and case
law, to require requesters to
demonstrate that they have sufficient
legal grounds for the OCC to release
non-public OCC information. The OCC
needs to know the requester’s legal
grounds to determine if it should release
the requested non-public OCC
information.
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 4.37(a)(2): OCC former
employee notifying OCC of subpoena.
• 12 CFR 4.37(a) and (b): Limitation
on dissemination of released
information.
• 12 CFR 4.39(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: Regular.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit; individuals.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
110.
Estimated Frequency of Response: On
occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 467
hours.
On November 3, 2008, the OCC
published a notice in the Federal
Register soliciting comment for 60 days
on this information collection (73 FR
65447). No comments were received.
Comments continue to be 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
the collection on respondents, including

through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology; and
(e) Estimates of capital or startup costs
and costs of operation, maintenance,
and purchase of services to provide
information.

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Departmental Offices; Debt
Management Advisory Committee;
Meeting
Notice is hereby given, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. App. 2, § 10(a)(2), that a meeting
will be held at the Hay-Adams Hotel,
16th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue,
NW., Washington, DC, on February 3,
2009 at 10:30 a.m. of the following debt
management advisory committee:
Treasury Borrowing Advisory
Committee of the Securities Industry
and Financial Markets Association.
The agenda for the meeting provides
for a charge by the Secretary of the
Treasury or his designate that the
Committee discuss particular issues and
conduct a working session. Following
the working session, the Committee will
present a written report of its
recommendations. The meeting will be
closed to the public, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. App. 2, § 10(d) and Public Law
103–202, § 202(c)(1)(B)(31 U.S.C. 3 121
note).
This notice shall constitute my
determination, pursuant to the authority
placed in heads of agencies by 5 U.S.C.
App. 2, § 10(d) and vested in me by
Treasury Department Order No. 101–05,
that the meeting will consist of
discussions and debates of the issues
presented to the Committee by the
Secretary of the Treasury and the
making of recommendations of the
Committee to the Secretary, pursuant to
Public Law 103–202, § 202(c)(1)(B).
Thus, this information is exempt from
disclosure under that provision and 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(3)(B). In addition, the
meeting is concerned with information
that is exempt from disclosure under 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(A). The public interest
requires that such meetings be closed to
the public because the Treasury
Department requires frank and full
advice from representatives of the
financial community prior to making its
final decisions on major financing
operations. Historically, this advice has
been offered by debt management
PO 00000
Frm 00101
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
advisory committees established by the
several major segments of the financial
community. When so utilized, such a
committee is recognized to be an
advisory committee under 5 U.S.C. App.
2, § 3.
Although the Treasury’s final
announcement of financing plans may
not reflect the recommendations
provided in reports of the Committee,
premature disclosure of the Committee’s
deliberations and reports would be
likely to lead to significant financial
speculation in the securities market.
Thus, this meeting falls within the
exemption covered by 5 U.S.C.
552b(c)(9)(A).
Treasury staff will provide a technical
briefing to the press on the day before
the Committee meeting, following the
release of a statement of economic
conditions, financing estimates and
technical charts. This briefing will give
the press an opportunity to ask
questions about financing projections
and technical charts. The day after the
Committee meeting, Treasury will
release the minutes of the meeting, any
charts that were discussed at the
meeting, and the Committee’s report to
the Secretary.
The Office of Debt Management is
responsible for maintaining records of
debt management advisory committee
meetings and for providing annual
reports setting forth a summary of
Committee activities and such other
matters as may be informative to the
public consistent with the policy of 5
U.S.C. 552(b). The Designated Federal
Officer or other responsible agency
official who may be contacted for
additional information is Karthik
Ramanathan, Acting Assistant Secretary
for Financial Markets (202) 622–2042.
Dated: January 6, 2009.
