SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The OCC is proposing to extend OMB 

approval of the following information 

collection: 

Title: Securities Exchange Act 

Disclosure Rules (12 CFR Part 11). 

OMB Control No.: 1557–0106. 

Description: This submission covers 

an existing regulation and involves no 

change to the regulation or to the 

information collection requirements. 

The OCC requests only that OMB 

approve its revised estimates. 

The Securities and Exchange 

Commission (SEC) is required by statute 

to collect, through regulation, from any 

firm that is required to register its stock 

with the SEC, certain information and 

documents. 15 U.S.C. 78m(a)(1). Federal 

law also requires the OCC to apply 

similar regulations to any national bank 

similarly required to be registered (those 

with a class of equity securities held by 

500 or more shareholders). 15 U.S.C. 

78l(i). 

12 CFR Part 11 ensures that ‘‘a 

national bank whose securities are 

subject to registration’’ provides 

adequate information about its 

operations to current and potential 

shareholders, depositors, and to the 

public. The OCC reviews the 

information to ensure that it complies 

with Federal law and makes public all 

information required to be filed under 

these rules. Investors, depositors, and 

the public use the information to make 

informed investment decisions. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals; 

Businesses or other for-profit. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

29. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

185. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

1,130.5 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized, 

included in the request for OMB 

approval, and 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 

agency, including whether the 

information has practical utility; 

(b) The accuracy of the agency’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 startup costs 

and costs of operation, maintenance, 

and purchase of services to provide 

information.
