SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) to include agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal agencies
to provide a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the OCC is publishing
notice of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
The OCC is proposing to extend OMB
approval of the following information
collection:
Title of Information Collection:
Funding and Liquidity Risk
Management.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0244.
Type of Review: Extension, without
revision, of a currently approved
collection.
Description: The Interagency Policy
Statement on Funding and Liquidity
Risk Management 1 (Policy Statement)

liquidity risk management that the
agencies have issued in the past 2 and,
where appropriate, harmonizes these
principles with the international
statement issued by the Basel
Committee on Banking Supervision
titled ‘‘Principles for Sound Liquidity

Risk Management and Supervision.’’ 3
The Policy Statement emphasizes
supervisory expectations for all
depository institutions including banks,
savings associations, and credit unions.
Section 14 of the Policy Statement
provides that financial institutions
should consider liquidity costs, benefits,
and risks in strategic planning and
budgeting processes. Significant
business activities should be evaluated
for liquidity risk exposure as well as
profitability. More complex and
sophisticated financial institutions
should incorporate liquidity costs,
benefits, and risks in the internal
product pricing, performance
measurement, and new product
approval process for all material
business lines, products, and activities.
Incorporating the cost of liquidity into
these functions should align the risktaking incentives of individual business
lines with the liquidity risk exposure
their activities create for the institution
as a whole. The quantification and
attribution of liquidity risks should be
explicit and transparent at the line
management level, and should include
consideration of how liquidity would be
affected under stressed conditions.
Section 20 of the Policy Statement
requires that liquidity risk reports
provide aggregate information with
sufficient supporting detail to enable
management to assess the sensitivity of
the institution to changes in market
conditions, its own financial
performance, and other important risk
factors. Institutions also should report
on the use of and availability of
government support, such as lending
and guarantee programs, and
implications on liquidity positions,
particularly since these programs are
generally temporary or reserved as a
source for contingent funding.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit.
Estimated Burden:
The OCC estimates the burden of this
collection of information on national
banks and Federal savings associations
as follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,833 total (13 large (over $100 billion
in assets), 47 mid-size ($10–$100
billion), 1,773 small (less than $10
billion).
Estimated Burden under Section 14:
360 hours per large respondent, 120
hours per mid-size respondent, and 40
hours per small respondent.

Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the information
collections are necessary for the proper
