SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from
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 collection of
information set forth in this document.
The OCC is proposing to extend OMB
approval of the following information
collection:
Title: Consumer Protections for
Depository Institution Sales of
Insurance.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0220.
Type of Review: Extension, without
revision, of a currently approved
collection.
Description: This information
collection is required under section 305
of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB
Act), Public Law 106–102. Section 305
of the GLB Act requires the OCC, the
Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (collectively, the
Agencies) to prescribe joint consumer
protection regulations that apply to
retail sales practices, solicitations,
advertising, and offers of any insurance
product by a depository institution or by
other persons performing these
activities at an office of the institution
or on behalf of the institution (other
covered persons). Section 305 also
requires those performing such
activities to disclose certain information
to consumers (e.g., that insurance
products and annuities are not FDICinsured).
This information collection requires
national banks, Federal savings
associations, and other covered persons,
as defined in 12 CFR 14.20(f) and
136.20, involved in insurance sales to
make two separate disclosures to
consumers. Under §§ 14.40 and 136.40,
a national bank, Federal savings
association, or other covered person
must prepare and provide orally and in
writing: (1) Certain insurance
disclosures to consumers before the
completion of the initial sale of an
insurance product or annuity to a
consumer and (2) certain credit
disclosures at the time of application for
the extension of credit (if insurance
products or annuities are sold, solicited,
advertised, or offered in connection
with an extension of credit).
Consumers use the disclosures to
understand the risks associated with
insurance products and annuities and to
PO 00000

understand that they are not required to
purchase, and may refrain from
purchasing, certain insurance products
or annuities in order to qualify for an
extension of credit.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Burden:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
663.
Total Estimated Burden Hours: 3,315
hours.
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 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 information collection
burden;
(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 the
services necessary to provide the
required information.

product pricing, performance
measurement, and new product
approval process for all material
business lines, products, and activities.
Incorporating the cost of liquidity into
these functions should align the risktaking incentives of individual business
lines with the liquidity risk exposure
their activities create for the institution
as a whole. The quantification and
attribution of liquidity risks should be
explicit and transparent at the line
management level, and should include
consideration of how liquidity would be
affected under stressed conditions.
Section 20 of the Policy Statement
states that liquidity risk reports should
provide aggregate information with
sufficient supporting detail to enable
management to assess the sensitivity of
the institution to changes in market
conditions, its own financial
performance, and other important risk
factors. Institutions also should report
on the use of and availability of
government support, such as lending
and guarantee programs, and
implications on liquidity positions,
particularly since these programs are
generally temporary or reserved as a
source for contingent funding.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit.

Estimated Burden
The OCC estimates the burden of this

banks and Federal savings associations
as follows:
Estimated Number of Respondents:

Estimated Burden under Section 14:
360 hours per large respondent, 120
hours per mid-size respondent, and 40

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
A. Statutory Provisions
On October 26, 2001, the President
signed into law the Uniting and
Strengthening America by Providing
Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept
and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001
(‘‘USA PATRIOT Act’’ or ‘‘Act’’), Public
Law 107–56. Title III of the Act amends
the anti-money laundering provisions of
the Bank Secrecy Act (‘‘BSA’’), codified
at 12 U.S.C. 1829b and 1951–1959 and
31 U.S.C. 5311–5314 and 5316–5332, to
promote the prevention, detection, and
prosecution of international money
laundering and the financing of
terrorism. Regulations implementing the
BSA appear at 31 CFR Chapter X. The
authority of the Secretary of the
Treasury to administer the BSA has
been delegated to the Director of
FinCEN.
Of the Act’s many goals, the
facilitation of information sharing
among governmental entities and
financial institutions for the purpose of
combating terrorism and money
laundering, is of paramount importance.
As with many other provisions of the
Act, Congress has charged the U.S.
Department of the Treasury with
developing regulations to implement
these information-sharing provisions.
Subsection 314(a) of the Act states in
part that:
[t]he Secretary shall . . . adopt regulations to
encourage further cooperation among
financial institutions, their regulatory
authorities, and law enforcement authorities,
with the specific purpose of encouraging
regulatory authorities and law enforcement
authorities to share with financial
PO 00000
Frm 00162
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
institutions information regarding
individuals, entities, and organizations
engaged in or reasonably suspected based on
credible evidence of engaging in terrorist acts
or money laundering activities.1
B. Overview of the Current Regulatory
Provisions Regarding the 314(a)
Program
On September 26, 2002, FinCEN
published a final rule implementing the
authority contained in section 314(a) of
the Act.2 That rule (‘‘the 314(a) rule’’)
required U.S. financial institutions upon
FinCEN’s request, to search their
records to determine whether they have
maintained an account or conducted a
transaction with a person that a Federal
law enforcement agency has certified is
engaging in or suspected, based on
credible evidence, of engaging in
terrorist activity or money laundering.3
The rule was expanded on February 10,
2010, to enable certain entities other
than Federal law enforcement agencies
to benefit from 314(a) requests to
industry. As amended, the rule now also
enables certain foreign law enforcement
agencies, state and local law
enforcement agencies, as well as
FinCEN, on its own behalf and on behalf
of appropriate components of the
Department of the Treasury, to initiate
314(a) queries.4 Before processing a
request, FinCEN requires the requesting
agency to certify that, in the case of
money laundering, the matter is
significant, and that the requesting
agency has been unable to locate the
information sought through traditional
methods of investigation and analysis
before attempting to use the 314(a)
program.5
Since its inception, the 314(a)
program has yielded significant
investigative benefits for law
enforcement in terrorist financing and
significant money laundering cases.
Feedback from the requesters and
illustrations from sample case studies
consistently demonstrate that the
program is extremely valuable to
furthering terrorist financing and
significant money laundering
investigations. In view of the proven
success of the 314(a) program, FinCEN
seeks to renew without change the
314(a) program.

Section 14 of the Policy Statement provides that financial
institutions should consider liquidity costs, benefits, and risks in
strategic planning and budgeting processes. Significant business
activities should be evaluated for liquidity risk exposure as well as
profitability. More complex and sophisticated financial institutions
should incorporate liquidity costs, benefits, and risks in the internal
product pricing, performance measurement, and new product approval
process for all material business lines, products, and activities.
Incorporating the cost of liquidity into these functions should align
the risk-taking incentives of individual business lines with the
liquidity risk exposure their activities create for the institution as
a whole. The quantification and attribution of liquidity risks should
be explicit and transparent at the line management level, and should
include consideration of how liquidity would be affected under stressed
conditions.
Section 20 of the Policy Statement states that liquidity risk
reports should provide aggregate information with sufficient supporting
detail to enable management to assess the sensitivity of the
institution to changes in market conditions, its own financial
performance, and other important risk factors. Institutions also should
report on the use of and availability of government support, such as
lending and guarantee programs, and implications on liquidity
positions, particularly since these programs are generally temporary or
reserved as a source for contingent funding.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
Frequency: On occasion.
