Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 150 / Friday, August 3, 2018 / Notices
Estimated Number of Respondents:
200 AMCs; 55 States and Territories.
Total Estimated Annual Burden: 421.
The OCC issued a notice for 60 days
of comment on March 23, 2018, 83 FR
12843. One comment was received from
a trade association representing
appraisal management companies
(AMCs).
amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
Topic 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
In response to topic A, the commenter
stated that the collection of information
is ‘‘necessary and does have practical
utility’’ but ‘‘only to the extent that the
information collected serves the proper
purpose to promote appraiser
independence while ensuring a healthy
real estate valuation market.’’ While not
stated expressly, the commenter implies
that the ‘‘proper purpose’’ of the
collection is limited to collections
relating appraiser independence.
In response to this comment, the OCC
notes that the purpose of the AMC rule
and the collection is to implement all
required elements of the statute, not
only provisions that extend to appraiser
independence. See 12 U.S.C. 3353(a)
(setting minimum requirements for
registration regulation in participating
states); id. section 3353(d) (setting
registration limitations for AMCs); and
id. section 3353(e) (requiring reporting
of information by AMCs to the ASC).
The OCC and the other agencies that
were party to the AMC rule were
required to adopt regulations to
implement the statutory requirements
and the collection is a necessary
component for implementation of these
requirements.
To the extent that the commenter
disagrees with the scope and
requirements of Title XI and the AMC
rule, the OCC also notes that regulations
may not be rescinded by the OCC
through the PRA renewal process.
Topic B: The Accuracy of the OCC’s
Estimate of the Information Collection
Burden
In response to topic B, the commenter
states that the burden estimates are too
low. The commenter believes that the
number of respondents is approximately
twice what was estimated. The
commenter also states that the actual
number of AMCs will not be known
until 2020 when the AMC National
Registry is fully operational.
The commenter indicates that its
members believe that the estimate of the
annual burden to comply is also too
low. The commenter recommends that
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:26 Aug 02, 2018
Jkt 244001
the estimate be increased to twice the
current estimate. The commenter notes
that each state differs in complexity of
their demands for the collection of
information and not all are on the same
renewal schedule. Some renew annually
and some biennially, which have
varying burdens for preparation and
validation.
The burden estimates for this
collection have historically been
prepared on an industry-wide basis and
then allotted to each agency. The FDIC
prepared the industry-wide estimates
for this renewal. We invite commenters
to review the analysis, which is
included in our supporting statement,
and comment during the 30-day
comment period.
Topic C: Ways to Enhance the Quality,
Utility, and Clarity of the Information to
be Collected
In response to topic C, the commenter
suggested that the ASC should issue
additional guidance to states and AMCs
concerning the AMC minimum
requirements. The goal of such guidance
would be to ‘‘provide consistency in the
implementation of the regulations and
information required.’’ The commenter
also expressed concern that wide
variation of AMC requirements from
state to state may have material
unintended consequences on lending
activity in a particular jurisdiction.
In response to these comments, OCC
notes that the commenter’s suggestions
do not relate to the collection. In
addition, while Title XI and the AMC
rule set minimum standards for the
registration and supervision of AMCs by
states, Title XI and the AMC rule
expressly provide that a state may adopt
requirements in addition to those
contained in the AMC regulation. 12
U.S.C. 3353(b); 12 CFR 34.210(d). The
OCC will, however, refer these
suggestions to the ASC for
consideration.
Topic 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
In response to topic D, the commenter
recommends that the ASC ‘‘find
opportunities to develop reporting
efficiencies in the licensing system,
which could include partnering with
the Nationwide Multistate Licensing
System (NMLS) or investing in a new
process. Furthermore, the ASC should
be more aggressive in supporting
modernization of the outdated National
Appraiser Registry (which AMCs must
use to comply with the minimum
requirements).’’

Sfmt 4703
In response to these comments, OCC
notes that the commenter’s suggestions
do not relate to the collection. The OCC
will, however, refer these suggestions to
the ASC for consideration.
Topic E: Estimates of Capital or Start-up
Costs and Costs of Operation,
Maintenance, and Purchase of Services
to Provide Information
The commenter stated that the
‘‘estimated cost to implement the AMC
minimum requirements and AMC
Registry requirements in 50 states and
the District of Columbia ranges from
$250,000–$500,000 per AMC,’’ not
including ‘‘the additional $100,000–
$200,000 paid by AMCs to the ASC to
be on the National AMC Registry.’’
In response to the comment, the OCC
notes that the commenter has not
segregated the costs relating to the
collection from costs of complying with
the substantive requirements of Title XI
and the AMC rule.
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
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
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(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. The OCC
asks OMB to extend its approval of the
following information collection.
Title: Release of Non-Public
Information.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0200.
Abstract: The information collection
requirements require individuals who
are requesting non-public OCC
information to provide the OCC with
information regarding the legal grounds
for the request. The release of nonpublic OCC information to a requester
PO 00000
Frm 00092
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
38207
without sufficient legal grounds to
obtain the information would inhibit
open consultation between a bank and
the OCC, thereby impairing the OCC’s
supervisory and regulatory mission. The
OCC is entitled, under statute and case
law, to require requesters to
demonstrate that they have sufficient
legal grounds for the OCC to release
non-public OCC information. The OCC
needs to identify the requester’s legal
grounds to determine if it should release
the requested non-public OCC
information.
The information requirements in 12
CFR part 4, subpart C, are as follows:
(1) 12 CFR 4.33: Request for nonpublic OCC records or testimony.
(2) 12 CFR 4.35(b)(3): Third parties
requesting testimony.
(3) 12 CFR 4.37(a)(2): OCC former
employee notifying OCC of subpoena.
(4) 12 CFR 4.37(a) and (b): Prohibition
on dissemination of released
information.
(5) 12 CFR 4.38(a) and (b):
Restrictions on dissemination of
released information.
(6) 12 CFR 4.39(d): Request for
authenticated records or certificate of
nonexistence of records.
The OCC uses the information to
process requests for non-public OCC
information and to determine if
sufficient grounds exist for the OCC to
release the requested information or
provide testimony that would include a
discussion of non-public information.
This information collection facilitates
the processing of requests and expedites
the OCC’s release of non-public
information and testimony to the
requester, as appropriate.
Type of Review: Extension, without
change, of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit; individuals.
Number of Respondents: 2.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Total Annual Burden: 6 hours.
The OCC issued a notice for 60 days
of comment concerning this collection
on April 3, 2018, 83 FR 14313. 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

of information;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Treasury International Capital
(TIC) Form SHC/SHCA ‘‘U.S.
Ownership of Foreign Securities,
including Selected Money Market
Instruments.’’
OMB Control Number: 1505–0146.
Abstract: Form SHC/SHCA is part of
the Treasury International Capital (TIC)
reporting system, which is required by
law (22 U.S.C. 3101 et seq.; E.O. 11961;
31 CFR 129) and is used to conduct
annual surveys of U.S. residents’
ownership of foreign securities for
portfolio investment purposes. These
data are used by the U.S. Government in
the formulation of international
financial and monetary policies, and for
the computation of the U.S. balance of
payments accounts and of the U.S.
international investment position. These
data are also used to provide
information to the public and to meet
international reporting commitments.
The SHC/SHCA survey is part of an
internationally coordinated effort under
the auspices of the International
Monetary Fund to improve data on
securities worldwide. Most of the major
industrial and financial countries
conduct similar surveys.
The data collection includes large
benchmark surveys conducted every
five years, and smaller annual surveys
conducted in the non-benchmark years.
The data collected under an annual
survey are used in conjunction with the
results of the preceding benchmark
survey and of recent SLT reports to
make economy-wide estimates for that
non-benchmark year. Currently, the
determination of who must report in the
annual surveys is based primarily on the
data submitted during the preceding
benchmark survey and on data
submitted on SLT reports around June
of the survey year. The data requested
in the annual survey will generally be
the same as requested in the preceding
benchmark report. Form SHC is used for
the benchmark survey of all significant
U.S.-resident custodians and endinvestors regarding U.S. ownership of
foreign securities. In non-benchmark
years Form SHCA is used for the annual
surveys of primarily the very largest
U.S.-resident custodians and endinvestors.
Current Actions:
No changes in the forms (schedules)
are made from the previous survey that
was conducted as of December 31, 2017.
The proposed changes in the
instructions are:
(1) In section II.A.(2) ‘‘Who Must
Report/End-Investors’’, new text is
PO 00000
Frm 00093
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
added to clarify reporting
responsibilities; in particular that
reporting (as end-investor) is the
responsibility of the manager of a fund,
partnership, trust, etc., if they have
discretion over investments of the fund/
partnership/trust/etc.;
(2) In section II.A.(2) ‘‘Who Must
Report/End-Investors’’, the terms
‘‘limited partnerships and trusts’’ are
added in the third bullet in the list;
(3) Section III.B/’’direct investments’’
is revised to make the section more
uniform across all TIC reports;
(4) Section III.C.4/’’pension &
retirement funds’’ is revised to cover
reporting responsibilities and foreignresident pension funds;
(5) In Appendix G, the link is
corrected to point to the March 2018
version of the TIC Glossary.
(6) Some changes in text, page
numbers and formatting are made to
clarify other parts of the instructions.
The changes will improve overall
survey reporting.
Type of Review: Revision of currently
approved data collection.
Affected Public: Business/Financial
Institutions.
Form: TIC SHC/SHCA, Schedules 1, 2
and 3 (1505–0146).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
An annual average (over five years) of
306, but this varies widely from about
785 in benchmark years (once every five
years) to about 190 in other years (four
out of every five years).
Estimated Average Time per
Respondent: An annual average (over
five years) of about 174 hours, but this
will vary widely from respondent to
respondent. (a) In the year of a
benchmark survey, which is conducted
once every five years, it is estimated that
exempt respondents will require an
average of 17 hours; custodians of
securities providing security-by-security
information will require an average of
361 hours, but this figure will vary
widely for individual custodians; endinvestors providing security-by-security
information will require an average of
121 hours; and end-investors and
custodians employing U.S. custodians
will require an average of 41 hours. (b)
In a non-benchmark year, which occurs
four years out of every five years:
Custodians of securities providing
security-by-security information will
require an average of 546 hours (because
only the largest U.S.-resident custodians
will report), but this figure will vary
widely for individual custodians; endinvestors providing security-by-security
information will require an average of
146 hours; and reporters entrusting their
foreign securities to U.S. custodians will
require an average of 49 hours. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal
agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(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

information collection.
Title: Release of Non-Public Information.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0200.
Abstract: The information collection requirements require
individuals who are requesting non-public OCC information to provide
the OCC with information regarding the legal grounds for the request.
The release of non-public OCC information to a requester without
sufficient legal grounds to obtain the information would inhibit open
consultation between a bank and the OCC, thereby impairing the OCC's
supervisory and regulatory mission. The OCC is entitled, under statute
and case law, to require requesters to demonstrate that they have
sufficient legal grounds for the OCC to release non-public OCC
information. The OCC needs to identify the requester's legal grounds to
determine if it should release the requested non-public OCC
information.
The information requirements in 12 CFR part 4, subpart C, are as
follows:
(1) 12 CFR 4.33: Request for non-public OCC records or testimony.
(2) 12 CFR 4.35(b)(3): Third parties requesting testimony.
(3) 12 CFR 4.37(a)(2): OCC former employee notifying OCC of

(4) 12 CFR 4.37(a) and (b): Prohibition on dissemination of
released information.
(5) 12 CFR 4.38(a) and (b): Restrictions on dissemination of
released information.
(6) 12 CFR 4.39(d): Request for authenticated records or

The OCC uses the information to process requests for non-public OCC
information and to determine if sufficient grounds exist for the OCC to
