The OCC is proposing to amend its rules on information disclosure, necessitating a revision to the agencyâs existing information collection approval. The OCCâs proposal would clarify the process for obtaining OCC approval to disclose non-public OCC information (NPOI) and allow for the disclosure of confidential supervisory information (CSI) without OCC approval in certain circumstances, provided that applicable safeguards are observed. Specifically, the proposal would permit a supervised entity to disclose CSI without OCC prior approval in six situations, each of which prescribes information collection requirements. For CSI not covered by the six situations and NPOI that is not CSI, the proposal clarifies the current framework, under which the OCC decides on a case-by-case basis whether to permit disclosure and, if so, the applicable safeguards, which also may include information collection requirements. The proposal also clarifies when supervised entities can share CSI with Federal agencies.
US Code:
12 USC 93a
Name of Law: The National Bank Act
The increase in burden is attributed to an increase in the estimated number of respondents. The OCCâs estimated burden hours reflect total hours associated with retained information collection requirements in part 4, as well as the proposed requirements. In calendar year 2025, the OCC received 102 CSI-related requests. The estimated burden hours are based on those historical requests received, along with a slight increase in anticipated respondents due to the proposed expanded exceptions.
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 following is a summary of the topics, regarding 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 number;
