    Title of Proposal: CRA Sunshine.
    OMB Number: 1550-0105.
    Form Number: N/A.
    Regulation requirement: 12 CFR part 533.
    Description: This submission covers an extension of OTS's currently 
approved information collection contained in 12 CFR part 533. The 
submission involves no change to the regulations or to the information 
collection requirements.
    The information collection requirements contained in the 
regulations are as follows:
    Section 533.6(b)(1) requires each nongovernmental entity or person 
(NGEP) and each insured depository institution or affiliate (IDI) that 
enters into a covered agreement to make a copy of the covered agreement 
available to any individual or entity upon request.
    Section 533.6(c)(1) requires each NGEP that is a party to a covered 
agreement to provide within 30 days after receiving a request from the 
relevant supervisory agency (1) a complete copy of the agreement; and 
(2) in the event the NGEP seeks confidential treatment of any portion 
of the agreement under FOIA, a copy of the agreement that excludes 
information for which confidential treatment is sought and an 
explanation justifying the request.
    Sections 533.6(d)(1)(i) and 5336(d)(1)(ii) require each IDI within 
60 days of the end of each calendar quarter to provide each supervisory 
agency with either (1) a complete copy of each covered agreement 
entered into by the IDI or affiliate during the calendar quarter; and 
in the event the IDI seeks confidential treatment of any portion of the 
agreement under FOIA, a copy of the agreement that excludes information 
for which confidential treatment is sought and an explanation 
justifying the request; or (2) a list of all covered agreements entered 
into by the IDI or affiliate during the calendar quarter.
    Section 533.6(d)(2) requires an IDI or affiliate to provide any 
relevant supervisory agency with a complete copy and public version of 
any covered agreement, if the IDI submits a list of their covered 
agreements pursuant to section 533.6(d)(1)(ii).
    Section 533.7(b) requires each NGEP and IDI that is a party to a 
covered agreement to file an annual report with each relevant 
supervisory agency concerning the disbursement, receipt, and uses of 
funds or other resources under the covered agreement.
    Section 533.7(f)(2)(ii) requires an IDI that receives an annual 
report from a NGEP pursuant to section 533.7(f)(2)(i) to file the 
report with the relevant supervisory agency or agencies on behalf of 
the NGEP within 30 days.
    Section 533.4(b) requires an IDI that is party to a covered 
agreement that concerns any activity described in section 533.4(a) of a 
CRA affiliate to notify each NGEP that is a party to the agreement that 
the agreement concerns a CRA affiliate.

Current Actions

    The current estimate is based on the actual number of IDIs or their 
affiliates that reported covered agreements to the agencies in 2004 and 
2005. The number of NGEP respondents is based on an assumption that one 
NGEP is a party to each covered agreement.
    Type of Review: Renewal.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit; individuals.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 12 IDI; 1 NGEP.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 842.
    Estimated Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Burden: 439 hours.
