SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC
is requesting renewal of OMB’s approval
of the following information collection.
Title of Collection: Capital
Distribution.
OMB Control Number: 1557–0310.
Form Number: 1583.
Description: Under the OCC’s rules
governing capital distributions at 12
CFR part 163, subpart E, a Federal
savings association (FSA) must file a
capital distribution application with the
OCC if: (1) It is not eligible for expedited
treatment under 12 CFR 116.5; (2) the
total amount of the its capital
distributions (including the proposed
capital distribution) for the applicable
calendar year exceeds its net income for
that year to date, plus retained net
income for the preceding two years; (3)
it would not be at least adequately
capitalized, as set forth in 12 CFR 6.4,
after the capital distribution; or (4) the
proposed capital distribution would
violate any applicable statute,
regulation, or agreement with the OCC
or the OTS, or violate a condition
imposed on it in connection with an
application or notice approved by the
OCC or the OTS. 12 CFR 163.143(a).
If an FSA is not required to file a
capital distribution application, it may
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:48 Jan 23, 2015
Jkt 235001
be required to file a capital distribution
notice with the OCC if: (1) It would not
be well capitalized following the capital
distribution as set forth in 12 CFR
165.4(b)(1); (2) the proposed capital
distribution would reduce the amount
of or retire any part of its common or
preferred stock, or retire any part of debt
instruments (such as notes or
debentures) included in capital under
12 CFR part 3 or part 167, as applicable,
(other than regular payments required
under a debt instrument approved
under 12 CFR 163.81); or (3) it is a
subsidiary of a savings and loan holding
company. 12 CFR 163.143(b).
If neither an FSA nor its proposed
capital distribution meet the criteria
described above, the FSA is not required
to file an application or notice with the
OCC. 12 CFR 163.143(c). However, if the
FSA is required to file a notice with the
Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (FRB) involving a cash
dividend pursuant to 12 U.S.C. 1467a(f),
it is required to provide an
informational copy of the filing to the
OCC under 12 CFR 163.143(d) at the
same time the notice is filed with the
FRB.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC
is proposing to extend OMB approval of
the following information collection:
Title: Release of Non-Public
Information—12 CFR 4, Subpart C.
OMB Number: 1557–0200.
Form Number: None.
Abstract: This submission covers an
existing regulation and involves no
change to the regulation or to the
information collections embodied in the
regulation. The OCC requests only that
OMB renew its approval of the
information collections in the current
regulation.
The information requirements require
individuals who are requesting nonpublic OCC information to provide the
OCC with information regarding the
legal grounds for the request. The
release of non-public OCC information
to a requester without sufficient legal
grounds to obtain the information
would inhibit open consultation
between a bank and the OCC, thereby
impairing the OCC’s supervisory and
regulatory mission. The OCC is entitled,
under statute and case law, to require
requesters to demonstrate that they have
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:48 Jan 23, 2015
Jkt 235001
sufficient legal grounds for the OCC to
release non-public OCC information.
The OCC needs to identify the
requester’s legal grounds to determine if
it should release the requested nonpublic OCC information.
The information requirements in 12
CFR part 4, subpart C, are as follows:
• 12 CFR 4.33: Request for non-public
OCC records or testimony.
• 12 CFR 4.35(b)(3): Third parties
requesting testimony.
• 12 CFR 4.37(a)(2): OCC former
employee notifying OCC of subpoena.
• 12 CFR 4.37(a) and (b): Limitation
on dissemination of released
information.
• 12 CFR 4.38(a) and (b): Conditions
on dissemination of released
information.
• 12 CFR 4.39(d): Request for
authenticated records or certificate of
nonexistence of records.
The OCC uses the information to
process requests for non-public OCC
information and to determine if
sufficient grounds exist for the OCC to
release the requested information or
provide testimony that would include a
discussion of non-public information.
This information collection facilitates
the processing of requests and expedites
the OCC’s release of non-public
information and testimony to the
requester, as appropriate.
Type of Review: Extension, without
change, of a currently approved
collection.

maintenance, and purchase of services
