Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 11 / Tuesday, January 18, 2022 / Notices before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB for approval, it must first publish a document in the Federal Register providing a 60-day comment period and otherwise consult with members of the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of information. The OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must be included in such a document. Under OMB’s regulation, see 5 CFR 1320.8(d), an agency must ask for public comment on the following: (i) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (ii) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (iii) how to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) how to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g. permitting electronic submission of responses. In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks for public comments on the following collection of information: Title: Petitions for Hearings on Notification and Remedy of Defects. Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information collection. OMB Control Number: 2127–0039. Affected Public: Businesses or others for profit. Abstract: Sections 30118(e) and 30120(e) of Title 49 of the United States Code specify that any interested person may petition NHTSA to hold a hearing to determine whether a manufacturer of motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment has met its obligation to notify owners, purchasers, and dealers of vehicles or equipment of a safetyrelated defect or noncompliance with a Federal motor vehicle safety standard in the manufacturer’s products and to remedy that defect or noncompliance. To implement these statutory provisions, NHTSA promulgated 49 CFR part 557, Petitions for Hearings on Notification and Remedy of Defects. Part 577 establishes procedures providing the submission and disposition of petitions for hearings on the issues of whether the manufacturer has met its obligation to notify owners, purchasers, VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:00 Jan 14, 2022 Jkt 256001 and dealers of safety-related defects or noncompliance, or to remedy such defect or noncompliance free of charge. Estimated annual burden: During NHTSA’s last renewal of this information collection, the agency estimated it would receive one petition a year, with an estimated one hour of preparation for each petition, for a total of one burden hour per year. That estimate remains unchanged with this notice. Number of respondents: 1. Stephen Ridella, Director, Office of Defects Investigation, NHTSA.

    Title: Leasing.
    OMB Control No.: 1557-0206.
    Description: Under 12 CFR 23.4(c), national banks must liquidate or 
re-lease property that is no longer subject to lease (off-lease 
property) as soon as practicable and not later than five years from the 
date the national bank acquires the legal right to possess or control 
the property. If a national bank wishes to extend the five-year holding 
period for up to an additional five years, it must obtain OCC approval. 
Twelve CFR 23.4(c) requires a national bank seeking an extension to 
provide a clearly convincing demonstration as to why any additional 
holding period is necessary. In addition, a national bank must value 
off-lease property at the lower of current fair market value or book 
value promptly after the property becomes off-lease property.
    Under 12 CFR 23.6, leases are subject to the lending limits 
prescribed by 12 U.S.C. 84, as implemented by 12 CFR part 32, or, if 
the lessee is an affiliate of the national bank, to the restrictions on 
transactions with affiliates prescribed by 12 U.S.C. 371c and 371c-1 
and Regulation W, 12 CFR part 223. The OCC may also determine that 
other limits or restrictions apply.

national bank to acquire personal property for purposes of lease 
financing. A national bank may invest in personal property for purposes 
of lease financing under 12 U.S.C. 24(Seventh) (Section 24(Seventh) 
Leases) if the lease is a conforming lease, as defined in 12 CFR 
23.2(d)(2), representing a noncancelable obligation of the lessee 
(i.e., the lease serves as the functional equivalent of a loan). See, 
12 CFR 23.20. A national bank also may invest in tangible personal 
property for purposes of lease financing under the authority of 12 
U.S.C. 24(Tenth) (CEBA Leases) if the related lease is a conforming 
lease as defined in 12 CFR 23.2(d)(1), which requires, among other
