In accordance with the requirements
of the PRA, the OCC may not conduct

(OMB) control number.
The OCC is soliciting comment
concerning renewal of its information
collection titled, ‘‘Lending Limits.’’
DATES: Comments must be submitted on

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

for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the OCC is publishing

the information in the application to
evaluate whether a national bank or

special lending limits and to ensure that
the safety and soundness of the bank or
savings association will not be
jeopardized.
