responsibility to oversee the use of this
lending authority.
12 CFR 32.9(b) provides national
banks and savings associations with
three alternative methods for calculating
the credit exposure of derivative
transactions other than credit
derivatives (the Internal Model Method,
the Conversion Factor Matrix Method,
and the Remaining Maturity Method)
and two alternative methods for
calculating such exposure for securities
financing transactions. The OCC
provided these models to reduce the
practical burden of such calculations,
particularly for small and mid-size
banks and savings associations.
Under 12 CFR 32.9(b)(1)(i)(C)(1), the
use of a model (other than the model
approved for purposes of the Advanced
Measurement Approach in the capital
rules) must be approved by the OCC
specifically for part 32 purposes and
must be approved in writing. If a
national bank or Federal savings
association proposes to use an internal
model that has been approved by the
OCC for purposes of the Advanced
Measurement Approach, the institution
must provide prior written notification
to the OCC prior to use of the model for
lending limits purposes. OCC approval
also is required before substantive
revisions are made to a model that is
used for lending limits purposes.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
295.
Estimated Annual Burden: 1,958
hours.
All comments will be considered in
formulating the subsequent submission
and 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 services
to provide information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal

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

an existing regulation and revisions to
the Part 24, CD–1, National Bank
Community Development Investments
form contained in the regulation,
pursuant to which a national bank may
notify the OCC, or request OCC
approval, of certain community
development investments.
Section 24.5(a) provides that an
eligible national bank may make an
investment without prior notification to,
or approval by, the OCC if the bank
submits an after-the-fact notification of
an investment within 10 days of making
the investment.
Section 24.4(a) provides that a
national bank may submit a written
request or letter to the OCC to exceed
the five percent limit for its aggregate,
outstanding investments. The OCC may
grant permission to the bank to make

with Section 24.5(a).
Section 24.5(a)(5) provides that a
national bank that is not an eligible
bank, but that is at least adequately
capitalized and has a composite rating
of at least 3 with improving trends
under the Uniform Financial
Institutions Rating System, may submit
a letter to the OCC requesting authority

the bank must submit an investment
