The FFIEC 009 information collection is given confidential treatment (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (b)(8)). The FFIEC 009a information collection is not given confidential treatment. Abstract The Country Exposure Report (FFIEC 009) is filed quarterly with the agencies and provides information on international claims of U.S. banks and bank holding companies that is used for supervisory and analytical purposes. The information is used to monitor country exposure of banks to determine the degree of risk in their portfolios and the possible impact on U.S. banks of adverse developments in particular countries. The Country Exposure Information Report (FFIEC 009a) is a supplement to the FFIEC 009 and provides publicly available information on material foreign country exposures (all exposures to a country in excess of 1 percent of total assets or 20 percent of capital, whichever is less) of U.S. banks and bank holding companies that file the FFIEC 009 report. As part of the Country Exposure Information Report, reporting institutions must also furnish a list of countries in which they have lending exposures above 0.75 percent of total assets or 15 percent of total capital, whichever is less. Request for Comment Comments are invited 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; PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 c.

ACTION: Notice to alter a system of records. SUMMARY: The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (Agency) proposes to alter a system of records notice in its existing inventory of records subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, (5 U.S.C. 552a), as amended. The proposed changes to FRTIB–1, Thrift Savings Plan Records, are necessary as the system location, system manager, and record access procedures have changed. These changes are also necessary in order to make clear the distinction between information available to beneficiaries and information available to someone handling a participant’s estate. Finally, these changes are necessary to allow the Agency to share participant information with agency personnel and casualty assistance officers who are aiding beneficiaries, with consumer reporting agencies when necessary for the Agency to collect a debt owed to it under 5 U.S.C. 3711, and with quality control companies that are verifying documents submitted to lenders in connection with participants’ commercial loan applications. DATES: Effective Date: This proposed action will be effective without further notice on February 17, 2009 unless comments are received which result in a contrary determination. ADDRESSES: Comments may be sent to Megan Graziano, Assistant General Counsel, Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, 1250 H Street, NW., Washington, DC 20005. The Agency’s fax number is (202) 942–1676. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Megan Graziano on (202) 942–1660.

The TSP provisions of FERSA are codified, as amended, largely at 5 U.S.C. 8351 and 8401–79. The TSP is a taxdeferred retirement savings plan for Federal civilian employees and members of the uniformed services. The TSP is similar to cash or deferred arrangements established for privatesector employees under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 401(k)). The proposed system reports, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, were submitted to the House Committee on Government Reform, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) pursuant to paragraph 4c of Appendix I to OMB Circular No. A–130, ‘‘Federal Agency Responsibilities for Maintaining Records About Individuals,’’ dated February 8, 1996 (February 20, 1996, 61 FR 6427).
