SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
OMB for each collection of information
that they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
1 On November 6, 2020, the OCC published a 60day notice for this information collection, 85 FR
71138.

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 that OMB extend its approval of
this collection.
Type of Review: Regular.
Abstract: The OCC is seeking to renew
the emergency approval granted for the
information collection requirements
contained in the interim final rule titled
‘‘Collective Investment Funds: Prior
Notice Period for Withdrawals.’’ 2 The
rule provides that, if the OCC approves
and certain conditions are satisfied, a
bank administering a collective
investment fund that is invested
primarily in real estate or other assets
that are not readily marketable may
withdraw an account from a collective
investment fund up to one year after the
end of the standard withdrawal period.
In addition, a bank may request that the
OCC approve extensions beyond the
one-year extension period, if certain
conditions are satisfied. In granting such
extensions, the OCC must determine
that the bank has made a good faith
effort to satisfy withdrawal requests and
has been unable to do so without
causing harm to participants due to
economic and market conditions.
Extensions beyond the initial one-year
extension must be requested and
approved annually, in one-year
increments for a maximum of two years
after the initial one-year extension
period.
The OCC is also seeking to renew the
information collection for the OCC’s
rules governing fiduciary activities in 12
CFR parts 9 and 150. Those
requirements are detailed in the
supporting statement filed with OMB.
Title: Fiduciary Activities.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0140.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated number of respondents: 4.
Total estimated annual burden: 220

On November 6, 2020, the OCC
published a 60-day notice for this
information collection, 85 FR 71138. 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
