DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended
Financial Management Service,
Treasury.
ACTION: Notice of amendment to system
of records.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the
Financial Management Service gives
notice of a proposed alteration to the
Privacy Act system of records entitled
‘‘Treasury/FMS .008—Mailing List
Records.’’
SUMMARY:
Comments must be received no
later than September 16, 2011. The
altered system of records will become
effective September 16, 2011 unless
comments are received which would
result in a contrary determination.
ADDRESSES: You should send your
comments to Peter Genova, Deputy
Chief Information Officer, Financial
Management Service, 401 14th Street,
SW., Washington, DC 20227. Comments
received will be available for inspection

submit only information that you wish
to make available publicly.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Peter Genova, Deputy Chief Information
Officer, (202) 874–1736.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
December 16, 2010, the Financial
Management Service (FMS), a bureau
within the U.S. Department of the
Treasury (Treasury), established a new
system of records entitled ‘‘Mailing List
Records—Treasury/FMS .008’’ by
publishing a new system of records
notice at 75 FR 78802, pursuant to the
Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5
U.S.C. 552a. FMS proposes to amend
that system of records by adding to the
‘‘categories of individuals covered by
the system,’’ and the ‘‘categories of
records in the system.’’
Under the existing system of records,
FMS may obtain and maintain
identifying information (names and

addresses) of low-to-moderate income
individuals who are more likely to be
unbanked or underbanked, who could
potentially receive Federal tax refund
payments, and whose names and
addresses are included on mailing lists
purchased from commercial providers.
These records are maintained in order
for the bureau to send letters to these
individuals to inform them of the
benefits of electronic payments and
Treasury-recommended account options
for receiving payments electronically.
The information may also be used to
study the effectiveness of offering
account options to individuals to
receive Federal payments. To study
program efficacy, FMS may use the
mailing list records to collect aggregate
statistical information on the success
and benefits of direct mail and the use
of commercial database providers.
FMS proposes to broaden the
‘‘categories of records in the system’’ to
include demographic information about
these individuals, in addition to
identifying information. Further, FMS
proposes to expand the ‘‘categories of
individuals covered by the system’’ to
include not only individuals whose
records were purchased from
commercial providers, but also those
individuals whose information was
obtained from other sources, such as
people who have previously been
mailed a paper check by FMS. The
proposed amendments to the system
would allow FMS to obtain and use
information such as income range,
likelihood of being unbanked, and
gender in determining what types of
account options best meet the needs of
low- to moderate-income individuals for
the purpose of receiving their Federal
payments. The addition of these data
elements to the system will give FMS
access to information which will allow
the bureau to better understand the
needs of the specific population that
could benefit from electronic payment
of tax refunds. In this way, FMS will be
able to more effectively serve the public.
The altered system of records report,
as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the
Privacy Act, has been submitted to the
Committee on Government Reform of
the House of Representatives, the
Committee on Governmental Affairs of
the Senate, and the Office of
Management and Budget, pursuant to
Appendix I to OMB Circular A–130,
‘‘Federal Agency Responsibilities for
Maintaining Records About
Individuals,’’ dated November 30, 2000.
For the reasons described in the
preamble, FMS proposes to alter its
system of records Treasury/FMS .008—
Mailing List Records, as set forth below.

FDIC, (collectively, the ‘‘agencies’’) may
not conduct or sponsor, and the
respondent is not required to respond
to, an information collection unless it

continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden, invites the
general public and other Federal

information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
On July 21, 2010, President Barack
Obama signed into law the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). As

enacted, Title III of the Dodd-Frank Act
transfers the powers, authorities, rights
and duties of the Office of Thrift
Supervision (OTS) to other banking
agencies, including the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), on
the ‘‘transfer date.’’ The transfer date is
one year after the date of enactment of
the Dodd-Frank Act, July 21, 2011. The
Dodd-Frank Act also abolishes the OTS
ninety days after the transfer date. As a
result of the Dodd-Frank Act, OTS
transferred this information collection
to the OCC.
Notice is hereby given of the final
approval of proposed information
collection by the Board under OMB
delegated authority, as per 5 CFR
1320.16 (OMB Regulations on

Abstract: The agencies issued a
supervisory guidance document for
implementing the supervisory review
process (Pillar 2). The guidance was
issued on July 31, 2008 (73 FR 44620).
Sections 37, 41, 43, and 46 of the
guidance impose information collection
requirements. Section 37 states that
banks should state clearly the definition
of capital used in any aspect of its
internal capital adequacy assessment
process (ICAAP) and document any
changes in the internal definition of
capital. Section 41 requires banks to
maintain thorough documentation of
ICAAP. Section 43 specifies that boards
of directors must approve the bank’s
ICAAP, review it on a regular basis, and
approve any changes. Boards of
E:\FR\FM\17AUN1.SGM
17AUN1
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 159 / Wednesday, August 17, 2011 / Notices
directors also are required under section
46 to periodically review the assessment
of overall capital adequacy and to
analyze how measures of internal
capital adequacy compare with other
capital measures (such as regulatory or
accounting).
The agencies’ burden estimates for
these information collection
requirements are summarized below.
Note that the estimated number of
respondents listed below include both
institutions for which the Basel II riskbased capital requirements are
mandatory and institutions that may be
considering opting-in to Basel II (despite
the lack of any formal commitment by
most of these latter institutions).

Abstract: The agencies issued a supervisory guidance document for
implementing the supervisory review process (Pillar 2). The guidance
was issued on July 31, 2008 (73 FR 44620).
Sections 37, 41, 43, and 46 of the guidance impose information
collection requirements. Section 37 states that banks should state
clearly the definition of capital used in any aspect of its internal
capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP) and document any changes in
the internal definition of capital. Section 41 requires banks to
maintain thorough documentation of ICAAP. Section 43 specifies that
boards of directors must approve the bank's ICAAP, review it on a
regular basis, and approve any changes. Boards of
[[Page 51125]]
directors also are required under section 46 to periodically review the
assessment of overall capital adequacy and to analyze how measures of
internal capital adequacy compare with other capital measures (such as
regulatory or accounting).
The agencies' burden estimates for these information collection
requirements are summarized below. Note that the estimated number of
respondents listed below include both institutions for which the Basel
II risk-based capital requirements are mandatory and institutions that
may be considering opting-in to Basel II (despite the lack of any
formal commitment by most of these latter institutions).
