SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), 
Federal agencies must obtain approval from the OMB for each collection 
of information that they conduct or sponsor. ``Collection of 
information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) to 
include agency requests or requirements that members of the public 
submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a third party. 
Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of title 44 generally requires Federal agencies 
to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each 
proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension 
of an existing collection of information, before submitting the 
collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, the 
OCC is publishing notice of the renewal of this collection.
    Title: Computer-Security Incident Notification.
    OMB Control No.: 1557-0350.
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Description: Pursuant to 12 CFR part 53, the OCC has established 
certain computer-security incident notification requirements applicable 
to banking organizations \1\ and bank service providers.\2\ 
Specifically, 12 CFR 53.3 requires a banking organization to notify the 
OCC about a ``notification incident'' as soon as possible but no later 
than 36 hours after the banking organization determines that a 
notification incident has occurred. The regulation defines a 
``notification incident'' as ``a computer-security incident that has 
materially disrupted or degraded, or is reasonably likely to materially 
disrupt or degrade, a banking organization's--(i) [a]bility to carry 
out banking operations, activities, or processes, or deliver banking 
products and services to a material portion of its customer base, in 
the ordinary course of business; (ii) [b]usiness line(s), including 
associated operations, services, functions, and support, that upon 
failure would result in a material loss of revenue, profit, or 
franchise value; or (iii) [o]perations, including associated services, 
functions and support, as applicable, the failure or discontinuance of 
which would pose a threat to the financial stability of the United 
States.'' \3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A banking organization as ``a national bank, Federal savings 
association, or Federal branch or agency of a foreign bank; 
provided, however, that no designated financial market utility shall 
be considered a banking organization.'' 12 CFR 53.2(b)(1).
    \2\ A bank service provider is ``a bank service company or other 
person that performs covered services; provided, however, that no 
designated financial market utility shall be considered a bank 
service provider.'' 12 CFR 53.2(b)(2).
    \3\ 12 CFR 53.2(b)(7). A ``computer-security incident'' is ``an 
occurrence that results in actual harm to the confidentiality, 
integrity, or availability of an information system or the 
information that the system processes, stores, or transmits.'' 12 
CFR 53.2(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, a bank service provider must notify at least one 
bank-designated point of contact at each affected banking organization 
customer as soon as possible when the bank service provider determines 
that it has experienced a computer-security incident that has 
materially disrupted or degraded, or is reasonably likely to materially 
disrupt or degrade, covered services provided to such banking 
organization for four or more hours.
    Estimated Burden:
    Estimated Frequency of Response: On occasion; event generated.
    Estimated Number of Respondents:
    Reporting: 100 Respondents.
    Disclosure: 832 Respondents.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2,795 hours.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will 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 OCC, including whether the 
information has practical utility;
    (b) The accuracy of the OCC'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

[[Page 93829]]

through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology; and
    (e) Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
