SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC 

is proposing to extend, without revision, 

the approval of the following 

information collection: 

Title: Notice Regarding Unauthorized 

Access to Customer Information. 

OMB Number: 1557–0227. 

Description: Section 501(b) of the 

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (15 U.S.C. 

6901) requires the OCC to establish 

standards for national banks relating to 

administrative, technical, and physical 

safeguards to: (1) Insure the security and 

confidentiality of customer records and 

information; (2) protect against any 

anticipated threats or hazards to the 

security or integrity of such records; and 

(3) protect against unauthorized access 

to or use of such records or information 

that could result in substantial harm or 

inconvenience to any customer. 

The Interagency Guidelines 

Establishing Information Security 

Standards, 12 CFR Part 30, Appendix B 

(Security Guidelines) implementing 

section 501(b) require each bank to 

consider and adopt a response program, 

if appropriate, that specifies actions to 

be taken when the bank suspects or 

detects that unauthorized individuals 

have gained access to customer 

information. 

The Interagency Guidance on 

Response Programs for Unauthorized 

Customer Information and Customer 

Notice (Breach Notice Guidance), which 

interprets the Security Guidelines states 

that, at a minimum, a bank’s response 

program should contain procedures for 

the following: 

(1) Assessing the nature and scope of 

an incident, and identifying what 

customer information systems and types 

of customer information have been 

accessed or misused; 

(2) Notifying its primary Federal 

regulator as soon as possible when the 

bank becomes aware of an incident 

involving unauthorized access to or use 

of sensitive customer information; 

(3) Consistent with the OCC’s 

Suspicious Activity Report regulations, 

notifying appropriate law enforcement 

authorities, in addition to filing a timely 

SAR in situations involving Federal 

criminal violations requiring immediate 

attention, such as when a reportable 

violation is ongoing; 

(4) Taking appropriate steps to 

contain and control the incident to 

prevent further unauthorized access to 

or use of customer information, for 

example, by monitoring, freezing, or 

closing affected accounts, while 

preserving records and other evidence; 

and 

(5) Notifying customers when 

warranted. 

This collection of information covers 

the notice provisions in the Breach 

Notice Guidance. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals; 

Businesses or other for-profit. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

2,200. 

Estimated Total Annual Responses: 

2,244.

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

53,844 hours. 

A 60-day notice requesting comment

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Agent Orange Registry Code 

Sheet, VA Form 10–9009. 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC62 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 38 / Tuesday, February 27, 2007 / Notices 8837 

OMB Control Number: 2900–0376. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: VA in an on-going effort to 

maintain an Agent Orange Registry 

(AOR) developed a reporting format to 

facilitate the collection of information 

obtained from veterans during the Agent 

Orange registry examination process. 

VA is required to organize and update 

the information contained in AOR to be 

able to notify Vietnam era veterans who 

served in the Republic of Vietnam of 

any increased health risks resulting 

from exposure to dioxin or other toxic 

agents. VA may also provide, upon 

request, a health examination, 

consultation, and counseling veterans 

who are eligible for listing or inclusion 

in any health-related registry 

administrated by VA that is similar to 

the Persian Gulf War Veterans Health 

Registry. Registry examinations are 

provided to veterans who served in 

Korea in 1968 or 1969, and/or any U.S. 

veteran who may have been exposed to 

dioxin, or other toxic substance in a 

herbicide or defoliant, during the 

conduct of, or as a result of, the testing, 

transporting, or spraying of herbicides, 

and who requests an Agent Orange 

Registry examination. VA will enter the 

information obtained from the veteran 

during the interview on VA Form 10–

9009, Agent Orange Registry Code 

Sheet. The registry will provide a 

mechanism that will catalogue 

prominent symptoms, reproductive 

health, and diagnoses and to 

communicate with Agent Orange 

veterans. VA will inform the veterans on 

research finding or new compensation 

policies through periodic newsletters. 

The registry is not designed or intended 

to be a research tool and therefore the 

results cannot be generalized to 

represent all Agent Orange veterans. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The Federal Register 

Notice with a 60-day comment period 

soliciting comments on this collection 

of information was published on 

December 6, 2006 at pages 70847–

70848.

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 7000
