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 

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 renew its approval of the 

information collection contained in this 

document. 

Title: Risk-Based Capital Standards. 

OMB Control No.: 1557–0318. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit. 

Type of Review: Regular. 

Abstract: The OCC is seeking to renew 

the emergency approval granted for an 

addition to the OCC’s Risk-Based 

Capital information collection. The 

addition was made necessary by an 

interim final rule that introduced a new 

notice opt-in requirement and a 

requirement for prior approval for 

distributions.2 A national bank or 

Federal savings association, when 

calculating on-balance sheet assets as of 

each day of a reporting quarter for 

purposes of determining the national 

bank’s or Federal savings association’s 

total leverage exposure, may (on a 

temporary basis) exclude the balance 

sheet carrying value of U.S. Treasury 

securities and funds on deposit at a 

Federal Reserve Bank. Before applying 

this relief, a national bank or Federal 

savings association must first notify the 

OCC. During the calendar quarter 

beginning on July 1, 2020 and 

continuing until March 31, 2021, no 

national bank or Federal savings 

association that has opted into this relief 

may make a distribution, or create an 

obligation to make such a distribution, 

without prior OCC approval. 

Burden Estimates 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 2. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 24 hours. 

On September 24, 2020, the OCC 

issued a notice for 60 days of comment 

concerning the collection, 85 FR 60281. 

No comments were received. Comments 

continued 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.
