Projects, and Other Public Welfare

Investments—12 CFR 24.’’ The OCC also

gives notice that it has sent the

information collection to OMB for

review and approval.

DATES: You should submit your

comments to both OCC and the OMB

Desk Officer by May 24, 2001.

ADDRESSES: You are invited to submit

comments to the Office of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC

is proposing to extend OMB approval of

the following information collection:

Title: Community Development

Corporations, Community Development

Projects, and Other Public Welfare

Investments—12 CFR 24.

OMB Number: 1557–0194.

Description: This submission covers

an existing regulation and involves no

change to the regulation or to the

information collections embodied in the

regulation. This regulation implements

12 U.S.C. 24 (Eleventh) which

authorizes national banks to make

investments that are designed primarily

to promote the public welfare, including

the welfare of low- and moderateincome families and communities (such

as through the provision of housing,

services, or jobs) consistent with safe

and sound banking practices. The

statute requires the OCC to limit a

national bank’s investments in any one

project as well as its aggregate

investments in such projects. This

regulation requires national banks to

make occasional filings to the OCC

regarding self certification notices,

letters from certain banks requesting to

self-certify, and proposals for

investments that require prior OCC

approval of public welfare investments.

The OCC is providing national banks

with a form by which they make these

filings and notify the OCC of

investments authorized by 12 U.S.C. 24

(Eleventh). National banks must use this

form either to self-certify an investment,

pursuant to 12 CFR 24.5(a), or to submit

a request for prior OCC approval of an

investment, pursuant to 12 CFR 24.4(a)

and 24.5(b). The OCC’s form simplifies

the self-certification and prior approval

processes by outlining the rule’s

requirements and allowing banks to

check off most responses. This

streamlining of information that

national banks must submit to the OCC

helps to reduce the time and burden

attendant to the rule’s notification and

approval processes. The OCC intends

that this form will encourage banks to

increase or enhance their investments

under part 24.

A national bank that is not eligible to

self-certify investments under 12 CFR

24.2(e), but is at least adequately

capitalized and has a composite rating

of at least 3 with improving trends

under the Uniform Financial

Institutions Rating System, may

continue to submit a letter to the OCC’s

Community Development Division

requesting the authority to self-certify

investments, pursuant to 12 CFR

24.5(a)(4). The bank may also use the

OCC’s form to request prior OCC

approval of its investments.

The information collection

requirements in 12 CFR part 24 are

located as follows:

Self certification of public welfare

investments (12 CFR 24.5(a)): To selfcertify an investment, an eligible bank

shall submit a letter of self-certification

to the OCC, within 10 days after it

makes an investment.

Letters from 3-rated banks requesting

to self-certify (12 CFR 24.5(a)(4)): A

national bank that is not an eligible

bank but that is at least adequately

capitalized, and has a composite rating

of at least 3 with improving trends

under the Uniform Financial

Institutions Rating System, may submit

an letter to the OCC requesting authority

to self-certify investments.

Investments requiring prior approval

(12 CFR 24.5(b)): If a national bank does

not meet the requirements for selfcertification set forth in part 24, the

bank must submit a proposal to the OCC

requesting prior approval for an

investment.

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 79 / Tuesday, April 24, 2001 / Notices 20717

Type of Review: Extension of a

currently approved collection.

Affected Public: Businesses or other

for-profit.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

204.

Estimated Total Annual Responses:

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 408

burden hours.

The OCC may not conduct or sponsor,

and a respondent is not required to

unless it displays a currently valid

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) control number.

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

Customs Service

Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended;

System of Records

AGENCY: Customs Service, Treasury.

ACTION: Notice of proposed Privacy Act

systems of records.

SUMMARY: The Treasury Department,

Customs Service, gives notice of a

proposed addition to their systems of

records which are subject to the Privacy

Act of 1974, as amended, (5 U.S.C.

552a). The U.S. Customs Office of

Human Resources (HRM) is

implementing an electronic job

application system. This computerized

employment application processing

system is designed to dramatically

reduce the time spent in placing

applicants into vacant positions.

DATES: Comments must be received no

later than May 24, 2001. This new

system of records will be effective June

4, 2001, unless comments are received

which result in a contrary

determination.

ADDRESSES: Comments (preferably in

triplicate) may be submitted to the

Office of Regulations and Rulings,

Disclosure Law Branch, U.S. Customs

Service, 1300 Pennsylvania Ave. NW.,

Washington, DC 20229. Comments will

be available for inspection and copying

at the Disclosure Law Branch, 1300

Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.,

Washington, DC.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Assistant Commissioner, Office of

Human Resources, U.S. Customs

Service, (202) 927–2900.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Currently,

Human Resources Management (HRM)

uses a combination of manual and

automated systems for this purpose.

However, the automated system

(provided by the U.S. Office of

Personnel Management) was developed

to meet a set of generic governmentwide requirements and does not offer

sufficient flexibility to meet the

changing needs of the Customs Service.

These manual systems are extremely

labor-intensive. HRM also requires an

improved method of producing reports

on information submitted by applicants

in order to monitor the status and better

evaluate the success of recruitment and

selection efforts. The proposed system

will accept applications through the

Internet, in addition to hard copy

application forms. The system will

input, organize, rank and track

thousands of applications, as well as

store resume information for retrieval at

a later date.

The new system of records report, as

required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the

Privacy Act, has been submitted to the

Committee on Government Reform and

Oversight of the House of

Representatives, the Committee on

Governmental Affairs of the Senate, and

the Office of Management and Budget,

pursuant to Appendix I to OMB Circular

A–130, Federal Agency Responsibilities

for Maintaining Records About

Individuals, dated February 8, 1996.

The system notice is published in its

entirety below.

Dated: April 16, 2001.
