# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), 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.

The OCC is requesting that OMB extend its approval of the following information collection:

*Title:*                     Disclosure Requirements Associated with Supplementary Leverage Ratio.                

*OMB Control No.:*                     1557-0322.                

*Description:*                     All banking organizations that are subject to the agencies' advanced approaches risk-based capital rules (advanced approaches banking organizations), as defined in the 2013 revised capital rule,[1]                                          are required to disclose their supplementary leverage ratios.[2]                                          Advanced approaches banking organizations must report their supplementary leverage ratios on the applicable regulatory reports. These disclosures enhance the transparency and consistency of reporting requirements for the supplementary leverage ratio by all internationally active organizations.                

*Type of Review:*                     Regular review.

*Frequency of Response:*                     Quarterly.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     15.                

*Total estimated Annual Burden:*                     300 hours.                

The OCC issued a notice for 60 days of comment regarding this collection on June 5, 2017, 82 FR 25916. No comments were received. Comments continue to be invited on:
