approval process, we invite comments on the following information 
collection.
    Title of Proposal: Notice of Hiring or Indemnifying Senior 
Executive Officers or Directors.
    OMB Number: 1550-0047.
    Form Numbers: 1606; 1624.
    Description: 12 U.S.C. 1831i requires OTS to make a determination 
as to the hiring or appointment of senior executive officers or 
directors at savings institutions or thrift holding companies. The 
OTS's determination must be based upon an evaluation of the 
individual's competence, experience, character, and integrity. The 
information required by the collection is necessary to make this 
determination. Without this information, the OTS cannot accomplish the 
statutory requirement designed to protect the interests of the Deposit 
Insurance Fund. The OTS has delegated the Regional Director, or his 
designee, at each Regional Office the authority to approve or deny 
these requests. They evaluate the individual's educational and 
professional experience to determine competence in the proposed 
position. An evaluation of the individual's proprietary interests 
identifies conflicts of interest that may render such person unsuitable 
for the position. Finally, information such as an individual's criminal 
offenses, lawsuits, and related disclosures, enable further evaluation 
of the individual's integrity and character.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 120.
    Estimated Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Burden: 280 hours.

    Dated: March 2, 2011.
Ira L. Mills,
Paperwork Clearance Officer, Office of Chief Counsel, Office of Thrift 
Supervision.
