SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC
is proposing to extend OMB approval,
without change, of the following
information collection:
Title: Investment Securities.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0205.
Description: This submission covers
an existing regulation and involves no
change to the regulation or to the
information collection requirements.
The OCC requests only that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection.
The information collection
requirements in 12 CFR part 1 are as
follows:
Under 12 CFR 1.3(h)(2), a national
bank may request an OCC determination
that it may invest in an entity that is
exempt from registration under section
3(c)(1) of the Investment Company Act
of 1940 1 if the portfolio of the entity
consists exclusively of assets that a
national bank may purchase and sell for
its own account. The OCC uses the
information contained in the request as
a basis for determining that the bank’s
investment is consistent with its
investment authority under applicable
law and does not pose unacceptable
risk. Under 12 CFR 1.7(b), a national
bank may request OCC approval to
extend the five-year holding period of
securities held in satisfaction of debts
previously contracted (DPC) for up to an
additional five years. The bank must
provide a clearly convincing
demonstration of why any additional
holding period is needed. The OCC uses
the information in the request to ensure,
on a case-by-case basis, that the bank’s
purpose in retaining the securities is not
speculative and that the bank’s reasons
for requesting the extension are
adequate, and to evaluate the risks to
the bank of extending the holding
period, including potential effects on
bank safety and soundness.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
