SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA, 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 questions
posed to agencies, instrumentalities, or
employees of the United States, if the
results are to be used for general
statistical purposes, that is, if the results
are to be used for statistical
compilations of general public interest,
including compilations showing the
status or implementation of Federal
activities and programs. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA requires
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day
notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each proposed
extension or revision of an existing
collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. In compliance with the PRA,
the OCC is publishing notice of the
proposed extension with revision of the
collection of information set forth in
this document.

risks associated with banks’ products,
services, customers, and locations. As
new products and services are
introduced, existing products and
services change, and banks expand
through mergers and acquisitions,
banks’ evaluation of money laundering
and terrorist financing risks should
evolve as well. Consequently, the MLR
risk assessment is an important tool for
the OCC’s Bank Secrecy Act/AntiMoney Laundering/OFAC supervision
activities because it allows the agency to
better identify those institutions, and
areas within institutions, that pose
heightened risk and allocate
examination resources accordingly. This
risk assessment is critical in protecting
U.S. financial institutions of all sizes
from potential abuse from money
laundering and terrorist financing.
Absent an appropriate risk assessment,
applicable controls cannot be effectively
implemented for the lines of business,
products, or entities that would elevate
Bank Secrecy Act/Money Laundering
and OFAC compliance risks.
We will collect MLR information for
all financial institutions supervised by
the OCC.
The OCC recently updated the annual
Risk Summary Form (RSF). The 2015
form has a fully automated format that
makes data entry quick and efficient and
provides an electronic record for all
parties.
The OCC estimates the burden of this
collection of information as follows:

Community Bank and Federal
Branches and Agencies populations:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,450.
Estimated Number of Responses:
