SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC is publishing notice of the renewal of the collection of information set forth in this document. Title: Lending Limits. OMB Control No.: 1557–0221 (12 CFR 32.7) (Merging in 1557–0317 (12 CFR 32.7)). Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Abstract: 12 CFR 32.7(a) provides that, in addition to the amount that a national bank or savings association may lend to one borrower under 12 CFR 32.3, an eligible national bank or savings association may make residential real estate loans, small business loans, small farm loans or extensions of credit thereof to one borrower in the lesser of the following two amounts: 10 percent of its capital and surplus; or the percent of its capital and surplus, in excess of 15 percent, that a State bank or savings association is permitted to lend under the State lending limit that is available for residential real estate loans or unsecured loans in the state where the main office of the national bank or savings association is located.1 An eligible national bank or savings association must submit an application to, and receive approval from, its supervisory office before using the supplemental lending limits in § 32.7(a). The supervisory office may approve a completed application if it finds that approval is consistent with safety and soundness. Section 32.7(b) provides that the application must include: (1) Certification that the national bank or savings association is an eligible 1 An eligible national bank or eligible savings association is well capitalized as defined in the prompt corrective action rules applicable to the institution and has a composite rating of 1 or 2 under the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System in connection with its most recent examination or subsequent review, with at least a rating of 2 for asset quality and for management. VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:15 Jun 14, 2016 Jkt 238001 national bank or eligible savings association; (2) Citations to relevant State laws or regulations; (3) A copy of a written resolution by a majority of the national bank’s or savings association’s board of directors approving the use of the limits, and confirming the terms and conditions for use of this lending authority; and (4) A description of how the board will exercise its continuing 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. On April 4, 2016, the OCC published a notice for 60 days of comment concerning the collection, 81 FR 19288. 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 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 PO 00000 Frm 00085 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 39105 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.
