SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC
is proposing to extend the approval of
the following information collection:
Title: Notice Regarding Unauthorized
Access to Customer Information.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0227.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
Description: Section 501(b) of the
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (15 U.S.C.
6801) requires the OCC to establish
appropriate standards for national banks
relating to administrative, technical, and
physical safeguards: (1) To insure the
security and confidentiality of customer
records and information; (2) to protect
against any anticipated threats or
hazards to the security or integrity of
such records; and (3) to protect against
unauthorized access to, or use of, such
records or information that could result
in substantial harm or inconvenience to
any customer.
The Interagency Guidelines
Establishing Information Security
Standards, 12 CFR Part 30, Appendix B
and Part 170, Appendix B (collectively,
Security Guidelines), which implement
section 501(b), require each entity
supervised by the OCC (supervised
institution) to consider and adopt a
response program, as appropriate, that
specifies actions to be taken when the
supervised institution suspects or
detects that unauthorized individuals
have gained access to customer
information.
The Interagency Guidance on
Response Programs for Unauthorized
Customer Information and Customer
Notice (Breach Notice Guidance),1
which interprets the Security
Guidelines, states that, at a minimum, a
supervised institution’s response
program should contain procedures for
the following:
(1) Assessing the nature and scope of
an incident and identifying what
customer information systems and types
of customer information have been
accessed or misused;
(2) Notifying its primary Federal
regulator as soon as possible when the
supervised institution becomes aware of
an incident involving unauthorized
access to, or use of, sensitive customer
information;
(3) Consistent with the OCC’s
Suspicious Activity Report regulations,
notifying appropriate law enforcement
authorities and filing a timely SAR in
situations in which a Federal criminal
violation requires immediate attention,
such as when a reportable violation is
ongoing;
(4) Taking appropriate steps to
contain and control the incident in an
effort to prevent further unauthorized
access to, or use of, customer
information, for example, by
monitoring, freezing, or closing affected
accounts, while preserving records and
other evidence; and
(5) Notifying customers, as warranted.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC
is proposing to extend OMB approval
for the following information collection:
Title: Examination Questionnaire.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0199.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:01 Jun 29, 2016
Jkt 238001
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract:
The OCC provides each national bank
or Federal savings association with an
Examination Survey at the end of its
supervisory cycle (12- or 18-month
period). This information collection
permits banks to assess the OCC’s bank
supervisory activities, including the:
• Effectiveness of OCC
communications with the bank;
• Reasonableness of OCC requests for
data and information;
• Quality of OCC decisionmaking
during the exam process;
• Professionalism of OCC examining
staff; and
• Responsiveness of OCC examiners.
The OCC developed the survey at the
suggestion of the banking industry.
Banking industry members expressed a
desire to provide examination-related
feedback to the OCC. The Comptroller of
the Currency and OCC supervisory staff
considered that suggestion and
concurred. Further, the Comptroller of
the Currency and OCC supervisory staff
find this information collection to be an
important tool for measuring OCC
examination performance, designing
more efficient and effective
examinations, and targeting examiner
training.
This information collection continues
to formalize and promote a longstanding OCC program. The OCC always
has given the institutions it supervises
the opportunity to provide input
regarding the examination process.
The Post Exit Survey is no longer
being used and has been deleted from
this collection.
Burden Estimates:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,212.
Estimated Number of Responses per
Respondent per Year: 0.65.
Estimated Number of Responses: 788.
Estimated time per response: 10
minutes.
Estimated Annual Burden: 131 hours.
Comments: On April 4, 2016, the OCC
published a notice for 60 days of
comment concerning the collection, 81
FR 19287. One comment from an
individual was received.
The commenter stated that the
collection has no practical utility and is
not necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the OCC
because it does not generate objective
assessments of the OCC’s performance.
The commenter suggested that the OCC
should discuss why the potential for
retaliation does not bias the results of
the questionnaire and limit its
usefulness.
The commenter believed that the
practical utility of the questionnaire
PO 00000
Frm 00162
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
would be improved if the OCC
explained why the questionnaire is not
offered to the general public, bank
customers, or other stakeholders and
why it believes that banks provide a
more accurate assessment of OCC
effectiveness and quality.
The commenter believed that burden
could be minimized by eliminating the
questionnaire and instead soliciting
feedback from bankers through regular
outreach activities and called on the
OCC to discuss in its final issuance why
it has not been eliminated.
The commenter stated that the OCC
improves the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information when it attentively
responds to all significant public
comments before finalizing rules. The
commenter also believed that when the
OCC leaves unclear whether it
considered comments, the public record
is incomplete and the OCC creates the
perception that it makes final decisions
on rules without considering the data,
views, and arguments of others.
The questionnaire attempts to receive
feedback from bankers on supervision
areas they find most valuable and areas
that could be improved. The feedback is
not meant to be an objective method of
collection because it will be based on
individual bank’s experiences with the
OCC staff and processes. The collection
is voluntary, and the OCC’s
Ombudsman oversees the data and
maintains confidentiality of individual
bank responses to prevent retaliation.
Bankers are best equipped to respond
to the survey given the objective of the
questionnaire to measure OCC’s
performance and progress in improving
the supervisory experience and agency
communications. Bankers are direct
stakeholders in the OCC’s supervisory
process and have ongoing contact with
the OCC’s staff and processes to assess
the agency’s performance. The general
public, bank customers, and other
stakeholders do not have direct
interaction with the OCC’s supervisory
process to assess the agency’s
performance.
The questionnaire is administered in
combination with feedback solicited
directly from bankers through regular
outreach activities. The questionnaire
provides bankers the ability to provide
candid feedback on the entire
supervisory process while preserving
their identity from the OCC staff that
directly supervises the institutions.
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;
E:\FR\FM\30JNN1.SGM
