Treasury is seeking responses from banking institutions that have received CPP funds regarding: how the CPP investment has affected the banks operations, how these institutions have used CPP funds, and how their usage of CPP funds has changed over time.
The CPP is an important part of the DepartmentÂs efforts to restore confidence in our financial system and ensure that credit continues to be available to consumers and businesses. As an essential part of restoring confidence, the Treasury has committed to determining the effectiveness of the CPP. Additionally, American taxpayers are particularly interested in knowing how banks have used the money that Treasury has invested through the CPP. Consequently, the Treasury is seeking responses from banking institutions that have received CPP funds regarding: how the CPP investment has affected the banks operations, how these institutions have used CPP funds, and how their usage of CPP funds has changed over time.
This is a new collection of information in which Treasury is seeking emergency clearance. Responses are requested from banking institutions that have received CPP funds regarding their usage of CPP capital. The 51,200 new burden hours are attributed to a program change due to Agency discretion.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).

(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
