The parties to a covered agreement must make the agreement available to the public and the appropriate agency. The parties also must file a report annually with the appropriate agency concerning the disbursement, receipt, and use of funds or other resources under the agreement. The collections of information in CRA Sunshine implement these statutorily mandated disclosure and reporting requirements. The parties to the agreement may request confidential treatment of proprietary and confidential information in an agreement or annual report. 12 CFR 35.8; 12 U.S.C. 1831y(a)– (c). The information collections are found in 12 CFR 35.4(b); 35.6(b)–(d); 35.7(b) and (f); 133.4(b); 133.6(b)–(d); and 133.7(b) and (f). Affected Public: Individuals; Businesses or other for-profit.

Standards, 12 CFR Part 30, Appendix B and Part 170, Appendix B 
(collectively, Security Guidelines), implementing section 501(b),
