SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Interagency Guidance on Asset Securitization Activities.
    OMB Control No.: 1557-0217.
    Type of Review: Extension, without revision, of a currently 
approved collection.
    Description: This information collection applies to institutions 
engaged in asset securitization and consists of a written asset 
securitization policy, the documentation of fair value of retained 
interests, and a management information system to monitor 
securitization activities. Institution management uses the collection 
as the basis for the safe and sound operation of their asset 
securitization activities. The OCC uses the information to evaluate the 
quality of an institution's risk management practices. The OCC also 
uses the information to assist institutions lacking proper supervision 
of their asset securitization activities with the implementation of 
corrective action to ensure that the activities are conducted in a safe 
and sound manner.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Burden Estimates:
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 33.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 97.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 478 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Comments: The OCC issued a 60-day Federal Register notice on March 
17, 2010 (75 FR 12812). No comments were received. Comments continue to 
be invited on:
    (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information has practical utility;
    (b) The accuracy of the agency'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 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.
