SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC is requesting OMB approval of the 
following information collection, which was previously approved under 
the Office of Thrift Supervision's OMB Control No. 1550-0059. Title III 
of The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, 
Public Law 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010) (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred 
the powers, authorities, rights and duties of the Office of Thrift 
Supervision (OTS) to other banking agencies, including the OCC. In 
addition, Dodd-Frank requires the Board of Governors of the Federal 
Reserve System (Board) to promulgate regulations governing capital 
distributions. OTS Control No. 1550-0059 was, therefore, transferred to 
the FRB under OMB Control No. 7100-0339. This information collection 
replaces the collection transferred to the FRB.
    The OCC solicited comments on this collection on August 23, 2011 
(76 FR 52735). No comments were received. Comments continue to be 
solicited on:
    a. Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the OCC;
    b. The accuracy of OCC's estimate of the burden of the proposed 
information collection;
    c. Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected;
    d. Ways to minimize the burden of the information collection on 
respondents, including through the use of information technology.
    We will summarize the comments that we receive and include them in 
our request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of 
public record.
    Title of Collection: Capital Distribution.
    OMB Control Number: 1557-NEW.
    Description: Under 12 CFR 163.143, the OCC will review the 
information to determine whether the request of Federal savings 
associations is in accordance with existing statutory and regulatory 
criteria. The information also provides the OCC with a mechanism for 
monitoring capital distributions since distributions may reduce an 
institution's capital levels and may, in some instances, impact the 
institution adversely.
    Type of Review: New collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 495.
    Estimated Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Burden: 546 hours.
