# 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] 

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                           ( print 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.
