SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
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

this document.
The OCC is proposing to extend OMB
approval of the following information
collection:
Report Title: Financial Management
Policies—Interest Rate Risk.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0299.

Abstract: This information collection
covers the recordkeeping burden for

purpose of the regulation is to ensure
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:47 Feb 13, 2014
Jkt 232001
that Federal savings associations are
managing their exposure to interest rate
risk appropriately. To comply with this
reporting requirement, institutions need
to maintain sufficient records for
determining how their interest rate risk
exposure is monitored and managed
internally.
Comments: Comments submitted in
response to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval. All comments will
become a matter of public record.
Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the collections of
information are necessary for the proper
performance of the OCC’s functions,
including whether the information has
practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the OCC’s
estimates of the burden of the
information collections, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of
information collections on respondents,
including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and
