by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a respondent is not required to respond to, an information
collection unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) control number. The OCC is soliciting comment

Questionnaire.'' The OCC also gives notice that it has sent the
information collection to OMB for review and approval.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC is proposing to extend the approval
for the following information collection:
Title: Examination Questionnaire.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0199.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
Type of Review: Regular review.
Abstract: The OCC has revised its Examination Questionnaire and
updated the estimated burden hours to reflect the reduction in the
number of national banks. Completed Examination Questionnaires provide
the OCC with information needed to properly evaluate the effectiveness
of the examination process and agency communications. The OCC will use
the information to identify problems or trends that may impair the
effectiveness of the examination process, to identify ways to improve
its service to the banking industry, and to analyze staff and training
needs. A questionnaire is provided to each national bank at the
conclusion of their supervisory cycle (12 or 18-month period). A banker
may now choose to complete this questionnaire on National BankNet, the
OCC's extranet site.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,800.
Estimated Number of Responses: 1,602.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Time per Response: 0.17 hours.
Estimated Annual Burden: 267 hours.
Comments: A 60-day Federal Register Notice was issued on July 26,
2007 (72 FR 41105). 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 startup costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
