If OTS has not
done so in the last two years, it should consult with OCC and (as
appropriate) FDIC, FRB, NCUA, and FHLBB as to experiences and best
practices in regard to this information col- lection. (OCC has a
similar clearance condition.) The goal is to seek how to: (1)
minimize paperwork burden, (2) increase the practical utility of
the information, and (3) as appropriate, as- sess the practicality
of automated collection. In the next ICR (but no earlier than 12
months hence), OTS shall report on the implications for this
information collection, if any, of the con- sultation.
