If you are deaf, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability, please dial 7–1–1 to access telecommunications relay services. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), Federal agencies must obtain approval from the 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 the OMB to extend its approval of the collection in this notice. Title: Release of Non-Public Information. OMB Control No.: 1557–0020. Type of Review: Regular. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit; individuals. Description: The information collection requirements require individuals who are requesting nonpublic 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 nonpublic OCC information. The information requirements in 12 CFR part 4, subpart C, are as follows: • 12 CFR 4.33: Request for non-public OCC records or testimony; • 12 CFR 4.35(b)(3): Third parties requesting testimony; • 12 CFR 4.37(a)(2): OCC former employee notifying the OCC of subpoena; • 12 CFR 4.37(a) and (b): Prohibition on dissemination of released information; • 12 CFR 4.38(a) and (b): Restrictions on dissemination of released information; and • 12 CFR 4.39(d): Request for authenticated records or certificate of nonexistence of records. VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:16 Nov 13, 2024 Jkt 265001 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. Estimated Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Number of Respondents: 2. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 6 hours. Comments: On August 21, 2024, the OCC published a 60-day notice for this information collection, (89 FR 67711). 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 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 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.
