Title: 49 U.S.C. Section 5320 Paul S.
Sarbanes Transit in Parks Program
(OMB Number: 2132–0574).
Background: Section 3021 of the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act—A Legacy
for Users (SAFETEA–LU), as amended,
established the Paul S. Sarbanes Transit
in Parks Program (Transit in Parks
Program—49 U.S.C. 5320). The program
was administered by FTA in partnership
with the Department of the Interior
(DOI) and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Forest Service. The
program provided grants to Federal land
management agencies that manage an
eligible area, including but not limited
to the National Park Service, the Fish
and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of
Land Management, the Forest Service,
the Bureau of Reclamation; and State,
tribal and local governments with
jurisdiction over land in the vicinity of
an eligible area, acting with the consent
of a Federal land management agency,

alone or in partnership with a Federal
land management agency or other
governmental or non-governmental
participant. The purpose of the program
was to provide for the planning and
capital costs of alternative
transportation systems that will enhance
the protection of national parks and
Federal lands; increase the enjoyment of
visitors’ experience by conserving
natural, historical, and cultural
resources; reduce congestion and
pollution; improve visitor mobility and
accessibility; enhance visitor
experience; and ensure access to all,
including persons with disabilities. The
Paul S. Sarbanes Transit in the Parks
program was repealed under the Moving
Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century
Act (MAP–21). However, funding
previously authorized for programs
repealed by MAP–21 remain available
for their originally authorized purposes
until the period of availability expires,
the funds are fully expended, the funds
are rescinded by Congress, or the funds
are otherwise reallocated.
Respondents: Transit agencies, States,
and Metropolitan Planning
Organizations.
Estimated Annual Burden on
Respondents: Approximately 2 hours for
each of the 2 remaining respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 4
hours.
Estimated Total Burden Cost: $255.32.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
OMB for each collection of information
that they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) to include agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of title 44 requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each renewal of an existing
collection of information, before
submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this
requirement, the OCC is publishing
notice of the renewal of the collection
of information set forth in this
document, which was approved on an
emergency basis.
Title: Libor Self-Assessment.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0349.
Type of Review: Regular.
Description: The expected cessation of
the London InterBank Offered Rate
(Libor) prompted the OCC to create a
self-assessment tool for banks to use in
preparing for the expected Libor
cessation. The self-assessment tool may
be used in assessing the appropriateness
of a bank’s Libor transition plan, the
execution of the plan by its
management, and related matters.
The Intercontinental Exchange Libor
is a reference rate that is intended to
reflect the cost of unsecured interbank
borrowing. Libor is published daily in
five currencies with seven maturities
ranging from overnight to 12 months. It
is used globally in the over-the-counter
derivatives market, bonds, loan
products, and securitizations. As of the
end of 2020, $223 trillion of financial
instruments were exposed to U.S. dollar
(USD) Libor as the primary reference
rate.1
While certain reference rates have
ceased to be reported in the past, the
significant exposure of the financial
markets to Libor creates the need for
banks to assess whether they are

Microsites/arrc/files/2021/USD-LIBOR-transitionprogress-report-mar-21.pdf.

PO 00000

Sfmt 4703

identifying applicable risks, preparing
for Libor cessation, and successfully
transitioning to replacement reference
rates. Libor is referenced globally, and
its cessation could affect banks of all
sizes through direct or indirect
exposure.
There is risk of market disruptions,
litigation, and destabilized balance
sheets if acceptable replacement rates
do not attract sufficient market-wide
acceptance or if contracts cannot
seamlessly transition to new rates. A
bank’s risk exposure from expected
Libor cessation depends on the bank’s
specific circumstances. Many
community banks may not offer
products or services that use Libor.
However, community banks could have
Libor exposure in positions such as
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB)
borrowings, mortgage-backed securities,
or bonds in the banks’ investment
portfolios.
Libor exposure can exist in all
product categories and lines of business,
both on or off the balance sheet, and in
asset management activities. Risk can
also emanate from third-party
relationships because Libor is often
used in pricing models, financial
models, and in other parts of banks’
infrastructure, such as core processing.
The ubiquity of Libor, present in over
$200 trillion notional contracts, makes
moving off the rate incredibly
complicated. Many existing contracts do
not include sufficient provisions if Libor
becomes unavailable (known as fallback
provisions). Without adequate
preparation, Libor cessation could cause
market disruption and present risks to
banks and their customers. In addition,
fallback provision language does not
sufficiently account for a permanent
cessation of Libor. The Federal banking
agencies published a statement
communicating that banks should
discontinue entering into contracts that
use USD Libor as a reference rate as
soon as practicable and in any event by
the end of 2021 (with a few exceptions
for orderly market support).2
Given that the OCC expects banks to
discontinue making Libor loans by the
end of 2021, the prevalence of Libor,
and the remaining work to be done
within the timeframe described above,
the OCC is making this self-assessment
tool available to banks, due to the
immediate need and the brief duration
of use, to help banks prepare for Liborrelated risk.
Banks may use the self-assessment to
determine whether they have risk
management processes in place to

claims. The form requests information
regarding the claimant, the tax-paid
spirits exported, and the amount of tax
to be refunded. TTB uses the collected
information to substantiate the claim for
drawback.

imposed in the United States on
distilled spirits of domestic
manufacture. However, the IRC at 26
U.S.C. 5232 provides that a person may
withdraw distilled spirits imported or
brought into the United States in bulk
containers from Customs custody and
transfer such spirits to the bonded
premises of a domestic distilled spirits
plant without payment of the internal
revenue tax imposed on such spirits, as
prescribed by regulation. The IRC at 26
U.S.C. 5314 also states that persons may
withdraw spirits from the bonded
premises of a distilled spirits plant in
Puerto Rico pursuant to an
authorization issued under the laws of
Puerto Rico. Under those IRC
authorities, the TTB regulations in 27
CFR part 26 require respondents to use
form TTB F 5110.31 to apply for and
receive approval to ship Puerto Rican
distilled spirits to the United States
without payment of Federal excise tax.
The form identifies the specific spirits
and amounts shipped and received, and
the shipment’s consignor in Puerto Rico
and consignee in the United States. TTB
uses the information collected to ensure
appropriate application of the IRC tax
provisions.
