Approved without change for two years, in light of the comments received on this new collection. OMB notes with concern the com- ment from the Independent Community Bankers of America (1/4/2006) which charges lack of coordination among the federal banking agencies. Based on conversation, we understand that OCC has used the process of the Federal Financial Institutions Examining Counc il to seek early and informal collaboration on this collection. OMB welcomed the January 11th Money Laundering Threat Assessment, a collaborative effort of sixteen federal agencies. We would like the same collaborative spirit to assist in this information collection. The next ICR for this collection (7/07 or later) should detail how collaboration among the banking agencies was employed to help reduce the burden and increase the practical utility of this collection.
