controlled non-U.S. branch. The FFIEC 

002S must be filed quarterly along with 

the U.S. branch or agency’s FFIEC 002. 

The data from both reports are used for 

(1) monitoring deposit and credit 

transactions of U.S. residents; (2) 

monitoring the impact of policy 

changes; (3) analyzing structural issues 

concerning foreign bank activity in U.S. 

markets; (4) understanding flows of 

banking funds and indebtedness of 

developing countries in connection with 

data collected by the International 

Monetary Fund and the Bank for 

International Settlements that are used 

in economic analysis; and (5) assisting 

in the supervision of U.S. offices of 

foreign banks. The Federal Reserve 

System collects and processes these 

reports on behalf of all three agencies. 

No changes are proposed to the FFIEC 

002 and FFIEC 002S reporting forms or 

instructions. 

2. Report title: Country Exposure 

Report for U.S. Branches and Agencies 

of Foreign Banks. 

Agency form number: FFIEC 019. 

OMB control number: 7100–0213. 

Frequency of response: Quarterly. 

Affected public: U.S. branches and 

agencies of foreign banks. 

Number of respondents: 167. 

Estimated average time per response: 

10 hours. 

Estimated total annual burden: 6,680 

hours. 

General description of report: This 

information collection is mandatory (12 

U.S.C. 3906 for all agencies); 12 U.S.C. 

3105 and 3108 for the Board; 12 U.S.C. 

1817 and 1820 for the FDIC; and 12 

U.S.C. 161 for the OCC. This 

information collection is given 

confidential treatment under the 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

552(b)(8)). 

Abstract: All individual U.S. branches 

and agencies of foreign banks that have 

more than $30 million in direct claims 

on residents of foreign countries must 

file the FFIEC 019 report quarterly. 

Currently, all respondents report 

adjusted exposure amounts to the five 

largest countries having at least $20 

million in total adjusted exposure. The 

agencies collect this data to monitor the 

extent to which such branches and 

agencies are pursuing prudent country 

risk diversification policies and limiting 

potential liquidity pressures. No 

changes are proposed to the FFIEC 019 

reporting form or instructions.

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also 

requires Federal agencies to provide a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register 

concerning each proposed collection of 

information, including each new 

proposed collection, each proposed 

extension of existing collection of 

information, and each reinstatement of 

previously approved information 

collection before submitting the 

collection to OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, we are 

publishing this notice of a proposed 

data collection as described below. 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. Burden means 

the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, disclose or 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; to develop, 

acquire, install and utilize technology 

and systems for the purpose of 

collecting, validating and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train

Proposed Project 

Emerging Infections Program—(OMB 

Control No. 0920–0978, Expires 8/31/

2016)—Revision—National Center for 

Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious 

Diseases (NCEZID), Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

The Emerging Infections Programs 

(EIPs) are population-based centers of 

excellence established through a 

network of state health departments 

collaborating with academic 

institutions; local health departments; 

public health and clinical laboratories; 

infection control professionals; and 

healthcare providers. EIPs assist in 

local, state, and national efforts to 

prevent, control, and monitor the public 

health impact of infectious diseases. 

Various parts of the EIP have received 

separate Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) clearances (Active 

Bacterial Core Surveillance [ABCs]— 

OMB number 0920–0802 and All Age 

Influenza Hospitalization 

Surveillance—OMB number 0920– 

0852); however this request seeks to 

have all core EIP activities under one 

clearance. 

Activities of the EIPs fall into the 

following general categories: (1) Active 

surveillance; (2) applied public health 

epidemiologic and laboratory activities; 

(3) implementation and evaluation of 

pilot prevention/intervention projects; 

and (4) flexible response to public 

health emergencies. 

Activities of the EIPs are designed to: 

(1) Address issues that the EIP network 

is particularly suited to investigate; (2) 

maintain sufficient flexibility for 

emergency response and new problems 

as they arise; (3) develop and evaluate 

public health interventions to inform 

public health policy and treatment 

guidelines; (4) incorporate training as a 

key function; and (5) prioritize projects 

that lead directly to the prevention of 

disease. 

Proposed respondents will include 

state health departments who may 

collaborate with one or more of the 

following: Academic institutions, local 

health departments, public health and 

clinical laboratories, infection control 

professionals, and healthcare providers. 

Frequency of reporting will be 

determined as cases arise. 

The total estimated burden is 22,755 

hours. There is no cost to respondents 

other than their time.
