The OCC is proposing to extend approval of the following information collection: Title: Fair Housing Home Loan Data System Regulation. OMB Control No.: 1557–0159. Description: The Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 3605) prohibits discrimination in the financing of housing on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (15 U.S.C. 1691 et seq.) prohibits discrimination in any aspect of a credit transaction on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age, receipt of income from public assistance, or exercise of any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act (15 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.). The OCC is responsible for ensuring that national banks and Federal savings associations comply with those laws. The OCC needs this information to fulfill its statutory responsibilities. The information collection requirements are as follows: • 12 CFR 27.3(a) requires national banks that are required to collect data on home loans under Regulation C 1 to present the data on Form FR HMDA– LAR,2 or in automated format in accordance with the HMDA–LAR instructions, and to include one additional item (the reason for denial) on the HMDA–LAR. Section 27.3(a) also lists exceptions to the HMDA–LAR recordkeeping requirements. Federal savings associations generate this information pursuant to the CFPB’s Regulation C, 12 CFR part 1003. • 12 CFR 27.3(b) lists the information national banks should seek to obtain from an applicant as part of a home loan application, and also sets forth the information that banks must disclose in collecting certain information from an applicant. • 12 CFR 27.3(c) sets forth additional information a national bank must maintain in the loan file. • 12 CFR 27.4 states that the OCC may require a national bank to maintain a Fair Housing Inquiry/Application Log found in Appendix III to part 27 if there is reason to believe that the bank is engaging in discriminatory practices or if analysis of the data compiled by the 1 12 CFR 27.3(a) references Regulation C as 12 CFR part 203, as it was adopted prior to the transfer of Regulation C to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Regulation C is now codified at 12 CFR part 1003. 2 Loan Application Register, https://www.ffiec.gov/ hmda/pdf/hmdalar2011.pdf. VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:10 Sep 12, 2014 Jkt 232001 bank under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (12 U.S.C. 2801 et seq.) and 12 CFR part 203 indicates a pattern of significant variation in the number of home loans between census tracts with similar incomes and home ownership levels differentiated only by race or national origin. • 12 CFR 27.5 requires a national bank to maintain the information required by § 27.3 for 25 months after the bank notifies the applicant of action taken on an application or after withdrawal of an application. • 12 CFR 27.7 requires a national bank to submit the information required by §§ 27.3 and 27.4 to the OCC upon its request prior to a scheduled examination using the Monthly Home Loan Activity Format form in Appendix I to part 27 and the Home Loan Data Form in Appendix IV to part 27. Type of Review: Regular. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit. Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,927. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 31,704 hours. The OCC issued a Federal Register notice for 60 days of comment on June 20, 2014. 79 FR 34513. No comments were received. Comments continue to be invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the OCC, including whether the information has practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the OCC’s estimate of the burden of the 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 collection on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.

``Blocking Property of the Government of Iran and Iranian Financial 
Institutions'' (the ``Order''). Section 1 (a) of the Order blocks, with 
certain exceptions, all property and interests in property of the

thereof, including the Central Bank of Iran, and any person owned or

    The ITSR implements Section 1(a) of the Order. Section 560.304 of

agency, or instrumentality thereof, including the Central Bank of Iran;

Iran'' to include ``any corporation, partnership, association, or other
