SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal
agencies must obtain approval from 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. The OCC asks
that OMB extend its approval of the following collection.
Title: Bank Appeals Follow-Up Questionnaire.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0332.
Description: The OCC's Office of the Ombudsman (Ombudsman) is
committed to assessing its efforts to provide a fair and expeditious
appeal process to institutions under OCC supervision. To perform this
assessment, it is necessary to obtain feedback from individual
appellant institutions on the effectiveness of the Ombudsman's efforts
to provide a fair and expeditious appeals process and suggestions to
enhance the bank appeals process. For each appeal submitted, the
Ombudsman uses the information gathered to assess the appeal's
consistency with OCC Bulletin 2013-15, ``Bank Appeals Process,'' dated
June 7, 2013, and to enhance its bank appeals program.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 15.

The OCC issued a notice for 60 days of comment on February 26,
2018, 83 FR 8316. No comments were received.
Comments continue to be on:
(a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the OCC, including whether the
information shall have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the OCC'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;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology; and
(e) Estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation,
