SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for each collection of 

information 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 the PRA (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)) 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 proposed collection of 

information set forth in this document. 

The OCC is proposing to extend OMB 

approval of the following information 

collection: 

Title: Recordkeeping and Disclosure 

Provisions Associated with Stress 

Testing Guidance. 

OMB Control No.: 1557–0312. 

Description: Each banking 

organization should have the capacity to 

understand its risks and the potential 

impact of stressful events and 

circumstances on its financial 

condition.1 On May 17, 2012, the OCC, 

along with the Federal Deposit 

Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Board 

of Governors of the Federal Reserve 

(FRB), published guidance on the use of 

stress testing as a means to better 

understand the range of a banking 

organization’s potential risk exposures.2

The OCC is now seeking to renew the 

information collection associated with 

that guidance. 

The guidance provides an overview of 

how a banking organization should 

structure its stress testing activities to 

ensure they fit into the banking 

organization’s overall risk management. 

The purpose of the guidance is to 

outline broad principles for a 

satisfactory stress testing framework and 

to describe the manner in which stress 

testing should be used, that is as an 

integral component of risk management 

applicable at various levels of 

aggregation within a banking 

organization, as well as a tool for capital 

and liquidity planning. While the 

guidance is not intended to provide 

detailed instructions for conducting 

stress testing for any particular risk or 

business area, it does describe several 

types of stress testing activities and how 

they may be most appropriately used by 

banking organizations. The guidance 

also does not explicitly address the 

stress testing requirements imposed 

upon certain companies by section 

165(i) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street 

Reform and Consumer Protection Act.3

Type of Review: Regular. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for-profit. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

50. 

Estimated annual burden: 13,000 

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 collections of 

information are necessary for the proper 

performance of the OCC’s functions, 

including whether the information has 

practical utility; 

(b) The accuracy of the OCC’s 

estimates of the burden of the 

information collections, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(c) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; 

(d) Ways to minimize the burden of 

information collections on respondents, 

including 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.
