technology trends and better understand 

emerging technologies. The information 

is collected on a transactional basis and 

is used to ensure that safety and 

soundness requirements are being met. 

On July 28, 2014, OCC issued a notice 

for 60 days of comment concerning this 

collection. 79 FR 42823. One comment 

was received. 

One commenter asked whether the 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the OCC’s 

functions, including whether the 

information has practical utility. 

The commenter described the 

collection as an ‘‘anachronism’’ that ‘‘no 

longer reflects the realities and risks of 

current times.’’ The commenter further 

noted that the Internet has been widely 

used as a channel for offering and 

conducting banking services for many 

years and that the OCC likewise has 

many years of supervisory experience 

with ‘‘transactional Web sites,’’ which 

would seem to obviate the continued 

need for notice and collection of this 

information. Finally, the commenter 

stated that the information collection is 

not an effective way of understanding 

industry trends and emerging 

technologies, contending that FSAs as a 

group ‘‘tend to be slow adopters of new 

technology’’ and noting that national 

banks are not subject to a similar 

requirement. 

The OCC appreciates the commenter’s 

perspective. In response, the OCC will 

give careful consideration to the 

comment in connection with the OCC’s 

national bank and FSA rule integration 

efforts, in particular whether a notice 

requirement is still necessary for 

transactional Web sites. 

Comments continue to be solicited 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; and 

(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.
