incorrect plant code information. Lastly,
Cooper Tire receives some registration
cards through Computerized
Information and Management Services,
Inc. (‘‘CIMS’’), a third-party vendor that
collects and provides tire registration
cards to a number of manufacturers,
including Cooper Tire. CIMS has been
made aware of the plant code error.
CIMS has informed Cooper Tire that
they will provide all registration cards
to Cooper Tire that have a Cooper Tire
plant code listed.
c) In the event Cooper Tire has to
conduct a safety related recall in
connection with the 484 subject tires,
Cooper Tire will include TINs UT Yl
FXJ 1017 to 1117 and UP Yl FXJ 1017
to 1117 in its recall universe, so that
there will be no issues with regard to
identifying the recall population.
Should Cooper Tire receive any affected
tires in its service facilities for
adjustments, the service technician will
record the proper TIN number to
accurately record the data.
d) Cooper Tire has taken steps over
the last year to add additional checks in
its processes to prevent TIN errors. One
of those checks includes implementing
software that only allows for the plant
to choose the plant code from a drop
down menu that includes only its
specific plant code. In this instance,
however, the molds were transferred
from one Cooper Tire facility (Findlay)
to another (Texarkana). The Texarkana
employee responsible for preparing the
mold for use in the Texarkana facility
only modified the mold on one side and
the error went undetected. The mold
containing the error was in production
from March 6th through March 15th and
when the error was detected on March
30th, the plug error was corrected in the
mold to prevent future issues.
Responsible Cooper Tire personnel will
receive additional training on these
processes.
Cooper concluded by expressing the
belief that the subject noncompliance is
inconsequential as it relates to motor
vehicle safety, and that its petition to be
exempted from providing notification of
the noncompliance, as required by 49
U.S.C. 30118, and a remedy for the
noncompliance, as required by 49
U.S.C. 30120, should be granted.
NHTSA notes that the statutory
provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to
file petitions for a determination of
inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to
exempt manufacturers only from the
duties found in sections 30118 and
30120, respectively, to notify owners,
purchasers, and dealers of a defect or
noncompliance and to remedy the
defect or noncompliance. Therefore, any
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
decision on this petition only applies to
the subject tires that Cooper no longer
controlled at the time it determined that
the noncompliance existed. However,
any decision on this petition does not
relieve equipment distributors and
dealers of the prohibitions on the sale,
offer for sale, or introduction or delivery
for introduction into interstate
commerce of the noncompliant tires
under their control after Cooper notified
them that the subject noncompliance
existed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal
agencies must obtain approval from
OMB for each collection of information
that 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 title 44 requires federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed renewal 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 renewal of the collection
of information set forth in this
document.
Title: Community Reinvestment Act
Regulations.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0160.
Description: The Community
Reinvestment Act (CRA) requires the
federal banking agencies 1 (Agencies) to
assess the record of regulated financial
institutions (institutions) in helping to
meet the credit needs of their entire
communities, including low- and
1 OCC, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

moderate-income neighborhoods,
consistent with safe and sound
operations. The CRA further requires
the Agencies to take this record into
account in evaluating applications for
mergers, branches, and certain other
corporate activities.2 The CRA statute
requires the Agencies to issue
regulations to carry out its purposes.3
Each agency must provide written
CRA performance evaluations (CRA PE)
of the institutions they supervise. The
CRA PEs are disclosed to the public.
The public portion of each written CRA
PE must present the agency’s
conclusions with respect to the CRA
performance standards identified in its
regulations; including the facts and data
supporting those conclusions; and
contain the institution’s CRA rating and
the basis for that rating.
The reporting, recordkeeping, and
disclosure requirements in the CRA
regulations are necessary, as they
provide the Agencies with the
information they need to examine,
assess, and assign ratings reflecting
institutions’ CRA performance and to
prepare the public section of the CRA
PE.
The OCC’s CRA regulation, 12 CFR
25, applies to national banks, including
federal branches, as those are defined in
12 CFR 28, with federally insured
deposits, except as provided in 12 CFR
25.11, (collectively, banks). Similarly,
the OCC’s CRA regulation, 12 CFR 195,
applies to savings associations, except
as provided in 12 CFR 195.11.
Twelve CFR 25.25(b) and 195.25(b)
provide that requests for designation as
a wholesale or limited purpose bank or
savings association must be made in
writing with the OCC at least three
months prior to the proposed effective
date of the designation.
Twelve CFR 25.27 and 195.27 provide
for optional submission of strategic
plans to the OCC for approval. If the
requirements of 12 CFR 25.27(a) or
195.27(a), respectively, are met,
institutions’ records of helping to meet
the credit needs of their assessment
areas will be assessed under their
approved strategic plans.
Twelve CFR 25.42(a) and 195.42(a)
require that large banks and savings
associations 4 shall collect and maintain
certain small business/small farm loan
data in a machine-readable form and

195.42(c)(1) provide that all banks and
savings associations may collect and
maintain in machine readable form
certain data for consumer loans
originated or purchased by a bank or
savings association for consideration
under the lending test. Under 12 CFR
25.42(c)(2) and 195.42(c)(2), all banks
and saving associations may include
other information concerning their
lending performance, including
additional loan distribution data.
Twelve CFR 25.42(d) and 195.42(d)
provide that banks and savings
associations that elect to have the OCC
consider loans by an affiliate, for
purposes of the lending or community
development test or an approved
strategic plan, shall collect, maintain,
and report the data that the bank or
savings association would have
collected, maintained, and reported
pursuant to 12 CFR 25.42(a)–(c) or
195.42(a)–(c), respectively, had the
loans been originated or purchased by
the bank or savings association. For
home mortgage loans, the bank or
savings association must also be
prepared to identify the home mortgage
loans reported under HMDA by the
affiliate.
Twelve 12 CFR 25.42(e) and 195.42(e)
provide that banks and savings
associations that elect to have the OCC
consider community development loans
by a consortium or a third party, for
purposes of the lending or community
development tests or an approved
strategic plan, must report for those
loans the data that the bank or savings
association would have reported under
12 CFR 25.42(b)(2) or 195.42(b)(2),
respectively, had the loans been
originated or purchased by the bank or
savings association.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Section-by-Section-Analysis
Twelve CFR part 3 sets forth the
OCC’s minimum capital requirements
and overall capital adequacy standards
for national banks and federal savings
associations (institutions).
Section 3.3(c) allows for the
recognition of netting across multiple
types of transactions or agreements if an
institution obtains a written legal
opinion verifying the validity and
enforceability of the agreement under
certain circumstances and maintains
sufficient written documentation of this
legal review.
Section 3.22(h)(2)(iii)(A) permits the
use of a conservative estimate of the
PO 00000

amount of an institution’s investment in
its own capital or the capital of
unconsolidated financial institutions
held through the index security with
prior approval by the OCC.
Section 3.35(b)(3)(i)(A) requires, for a
cleared transaction with a qualified
central counterparty (QCCP), that a
client bank apply a risk weight of two
percent, provided that the collateral
posted by the bank to the QCCP is
subject to certain arrangements and the
client bank has conducted a sufficient
legal review (and maintains sufficient
written documentation of the legal
review) to conclude with a wellfounded basis that the arrangements, in
the event of a legal challenge, would be
found to be legal, valid, binding, and
enforceable under the law of the
relevant jurisdictions.
Section 3.37(c)(4)(i)(E), regarding
collateralized transactions, requires that
an institution have policies and
procedures in place describing how it
determines the period of significant
financial stress used to calculate its own
internal estimates for haircuts and be
able to provide empirical support for the
period used.
Section 3.41(b), which sets forth
operational requirements for
securitization exposures, allows an
institution to recognize for risk-based
capital purposes, in the case of synthetic
securitizations, a credit risk mitigant to
hedge underlying exposures if certain
conditions are met. Section 3.41(b)(3)
includes a requirement that the
institution obtain a well-reasoned
opinion from legal counsel that
confirms the enforceability of the credit
risk mitigant in all relevant
jurisdictions.
Section 3.41(c)(2)(i) requires that an
institution demonstrate its
comprehensive understanding of a
securitization exposure by conducting
and documenting an analysis of the risk
characteristics of each securitization
exposure prior to its acquisition, taking
into account a number of specified
considerations.
In the case where an institution
provides non-contractual support to a
securitization, § 3.42(e)(2) requires the
institution to publicly disclose that it
has provided implicit support to a
securitization and the risk-based capital
impact to the bank of providing such
implicit support.
Section 3.62 sets forth disclosure
requirements related to the capital
requirements of an institution. These
requirements apply to an institution
with total consolidated assets of $50
billion or more that is not a
consolidated subsidiary of an entity that
is itself subject to Basel III disclosures.
