OTS has determined that some institutions involved in asset securitization activities have significant weaknesses in their asset securitization practices. Thrift management will use these information collections as the basis for the safe and sound operation of their asset securitization activities and to ensure that they minimize operational risk in these activities. OTS will use this information to evaluate the quality of an institution's risk management practices. OTS will also use the information to assist institutions without supervision of their asset securitization activities to implement corrective action to conduct these activities in a safe and sound manner.
The estimated burden for this information collection is a decrease of 503 hours. This is mostly due to a decrease in the number of respondents from 33 to 19. For this submission, actual numbers are being used for the calculations.
