    Title: Troubled Asset Relief Program--Conflicts of Interest.
    Abstract: Authorized under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act 
(EESA) of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-343), as amended by the American Recovery 
and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, the Department of the Treasury has 
implemented aspects of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) by 
codifying section 108 of EESA. Title 31 CFR part 31, TARP Conflict of 
Interest, sets forth the process for reviewing and addressing actual or 
potential conflicts of interest among any individuals or entities 
seeking or having a contract or financial agency agreement with the 
Treasury for services under EESA. The information collection required 
by this part will be used to evaluate and minimize real and apparent 
conflicts of interest related to contractual or financial agent 
agreement services performed under TARP.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Affected Public: Private sector: Businesses or other for-profits.

implemented aspects of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) by 
codifying section 111 of EESA. Title 31 CFR part 30, TARP Standards for 
Compensation Corporate Governance, provides guidance on the executive 
compensation and corporate governance provision of EESA that apply to 
entities that receive financial assistance under TARP. The collection 
of information required by this part will be used to monitor compliance 
with the executive compensation requirements; monitor and evaluate the 
compensation practices of TARP recipients, and as a basis for 
determinations on the compensation structures and compensation payments 
by the Special Master on Executive Compensation.

is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the 
accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of 
information including the validity of the methodology and assumption 
used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information 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.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will become 
a matter of public record.
