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 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 

burden hours. 

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 

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.
