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. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of title 44 requires Federal 

agencies to provide a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each renewal of an existing 

collection of information, before 

submitting the collection to OMB for 

approval. To comply with this 

requirement, the OCC is publishing 

notice of the renewal of the collection 

of information set forth in this 

document. 

Title: Investment Securities. 

OMB Control No.: 1557–0205. 

Description: Under 12 CFR 1.3(h)(2), a 

national bank may request an OCC 

determination that it may invest in an 

entity that is exempt from registration 

under section 3(c)(1) of the Investment 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
2492 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 7 / Tuesday, January 12, 2021 / Notices 

2 15 U.S.C. 80a–3(c)(1). 

Company Act of 1940 2 if the portfolio 

of the entity consists exclusively of 

assets that a national bank may 

purchase and sell for its own account. 

The OCC uses the information 

contained in the request as a basis for 

ensuring that the bank’s investment is 

consistent with its investment authority 

under applicable law and does not pose 

unacceptable risk. Under 12 CFR 1.7(b), 

a national bank may request OCC 

approval to extend the five-year holding 

period for securities held in satisfaction 

of debts previously contracted for up to 

an additional five years. In its request, 

the bank must provide a clearly 

convincing demonstration of why the 

additional holding period is needed. 

The OCC uses the information in the 

request to ensure, on a case-by-case 

basis, that the bank’s purpose in 

retaining the securities is not 

speculative and that the bank’s reasons 

for requesting the extension are 

adequate. The OCC also uses the 

information to evaluate the risks to the 

bank in extending the holding period, 

including potential effects on the bank’s 

safety and soundness. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

25. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 460 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Comments submitted in response to this 

notice will be summarized and included 

in the request for OMB approval. All 

comments will become a matter of 

public record. Comments are 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.

permit a multiemployer plan that is 

projected to have insufficient funds to 

reduce pension benefits payable to 

participants and beneficiaries if certain 

conditions are satisfied. In order to 

reduce benefits, the plan sponsor is 

required to submit an application to the 

Secretary of the Treasury, which must 

be approved or denied in consultation 

with the Pension Benefit Guaranty 

Corporation (PBGC) and the Department 

of Labor. 

On December 15, 2020, the Roofers 

Local No. 88 Pension Fund’s Board of

approval to reduce benefits under the 

plan. As required by MPRA, that 

application has been published on 

Treasury’s website at https://

home.treasury.gov/services/themultiemployer-pension-reform-act-of2014/applications-for-benefitsuspension. Treasury is publishing this
