National banks and Federal savings
associations must comply with rules of the Federal Reserve Board
(Board) regarding extensions of credit to insiders (Regulation O)
and transactions with affiliates (Regulation W), which implement
section 22(h) and sections 23A and 23B, respectively, of the
Federal Reserve Act (FRA). Twelve CFR part 31 addresses these
transactions for national banks and Federal savings associations.
Specifically, 12 CFR 31.2 requires national banks and Federal
savings associations to comply with Regulation O, and 12 CFR 31.3
requires national banks and Federal savings associations to comply
with Regulation W. Appendix A to part 31 provides interpretive
guidance on the application of Regulation W to deposits between
affiliated banks. Appendix B to part 31 provides a comparison of
selected provisions of parts 32 and 215. Both national banks and
Federal savings associations must comply with Regulation O and
Regulation W. Section 31.3(c) implements the statutory standards
for authorizing an exemption from section 23A of the FRA or section
11 of the Home Owners’ Loan Act (HOLA) in accordance with section
608 of the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act (Dodd-Frank Act). Section 608, which became effective on July
21, 2012, amends section 23A of the FRA and section 11 of the HOLA
to authorize the OCC to exempt, by order, a transaction of a
national bank or Federal savings association, respectively, from
the affiliate transaction requirements of section 23A and section
11 of the HOLA if: (1) the OCC and the Board jointly find the
exemption to be in the public interest and consistent with the
purposes of section 23A or section 11, and (2) within 60 days of
receiving notice of such finding, the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation does not object in writing to the finding based on a
determination that the exemption presents an unacceptable risk to
the Deposit Insurance Fund. The information collection requirement
is found in 12 CFR 31.3(d), which sets forth procedures that a
national bank and Federal savings association must follow to
request such exemptions. These procedures are modeled after the
Board’s procedures in Regulation W.
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).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(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
