An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a respondent is not
required to respond to, an information collection unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. Under the PRA, Federal agencies are
required to publish notice in the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information, including each proposed extension
of an existing collection of information, and to allow 60 days for
public comment in response to the notice.
The OCC is soliciting comment concerning its information collection
titled, ``Comptroller's Licensing Manual.''
DATES: You should submit written comments by October 18, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Because paper mail in the Washington, DC area and at the
OCC is subject to delay, commenters are encouraged to submit comments
by email if possible. Comments may be sent to: Legislative and
Regulatory Activities Division, Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency, Attention: 1557-0014, 400 7th Street SW., Suite 3E-218, Mail

savings associations. The Manual includes sample documents to assist
the respondent in understanding the types of information the OCC needs
in order to process a filing. An applicant may use the format of the
sample documents or any other format that provides sufficient
information for the OCC to act on a particular filing, including for
national banks, the OCC's e-Corp filing system.

for-profit.

a matter of public record. Comments are invited on:

proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information has practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
collection of information;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
