Abstract: Authorized under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA) of 2008 (Public Law 110-343), the Department of the Treasury has implemented several aspects of the Troubled Asset Relief Program. Among these components is a voluntary Capital Purchase Program (CPP) under which the Department may purchase qualifying capital in U.S. banking organizations. The Treasury has so far invested capital through this program in over 400 financial institutions. As part of this program, Treasury would like to gauge, whether the capital injections made through the CPP are having the desired effect of ensuring liquidity within the banking system and thereby increasing lending activity. To gauge this, Treasury would like to monitor the lending activity of all CPP participants. The Treasury will be conducting evaluations using quarterly Call Report data supplied by these financial institutions to their primary regulator. However, in order to have a more frequent and timely snapshot of the current lending environment, Treasury is requesting the ability to conduct a monthly survey of all participants in the CPP in order to supplement the quarterly analysis.

Emergency Justfication: The Department of Treasury requests emergency approval for collection of information contained in the Capital Purchase Program (CPP) all participants report to be used by financial institutions. The collection of information is needed to fulfill Treasury’s responsibilities under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA) of 2008 (Public Law 110-343; approved October 3, 2008. Treasury cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures under 5 C.F.R. Part 1320 because of the current uproar in the financial markets and the immediate need for this survey.
