Abstract: Section 342 of the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (Dodd-Frank) requires
the OCC to develop and implement
standards and procedures to ensure, to
the maximum extent possible, the fair
inclusion and utilization of minorities,
women, and minority-owned and
women-owned businesses in all
business and activities of the agency at
all levels, including procurement,
insurance, and all types of contracts 2
and to develop standards for
coordinating technical assistance to
such businesses.3
In order to comply with the
Congressional mandate to develop
standards for the fair inclusion and
utilization of minority- and womenowned businesses and to provide
effective technical assistance to these
businesses, the OCC developed an ongoing system to collect up-to-date
contact information and capabilities
statements from potential suppliers.
This information allows the OCC to
update and enhance its internal
database of interested minority- and
women-owned businesses. This
information also allows the OCC to
measure the effectiveness of its
technical assistance and outreach efforts
and to target areas where additional
outreach efforts are necessary.
On April 5, 2019, the OCC published
a notice for 60 days of comment
regarding this collection, 84 FR 13785.
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
shall have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the OCC’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information 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
