SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Disclosure of Financial and 

Other Information by National Banks 

(12 CFR 18). 

OMB Control No.: 1557–0182. 

Type of Review: Extension, without 

revision, of a currently approved 

collection. 

Description: The collections of 

information are found in 12 CFR 18.4(c) 

and 18.8. Section 18.4(c) permits a bank 

to prepare an optional narrative for 

inclusion in its annual disclosure 

statement. Section 18.8 requires that a 

national bank promptly furnish 

materials in response to a request. 

The regulation applies to 

approximately 1,800 national banks and 

50 Federal branches and agencies. Most 

banks will use their Call Reports or 

information prepared for annual reports 

as their disclosure material. 

This program of periodic financial 

disclosure is needed, not only to 

facilitate informed decision making by 

existing and potential customers and 

investors, but also to improve public 

understanding of, and confidence in, the 

financial condition of individual 

national banks and the national banking 

system. Further, financial disclosure 

reduces the likelihood that the market 

will overreact to incomplete 

information. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit. 

Burden Estimates: 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,850. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

1,850. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 925 hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Comments: A 60-day Federal Register 

Notice was issued on March 14, 2007

received. Comments continue to be 

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;
