SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC is requesting OMB approval for the 
following information collection:
    Title: Domestic First Lien Residential Mortgage Data.
    OMB Control Number: 1557-0331.
    Description:
    Comprehensive mortgage data is vital to assessing and monitoring 
credit quality and loss mitigation activities in the residential 
mortgage market and the federal banking system. This data is important 
and necessary to support supervisory activities to ensure the safety 
and soundness of the federal banking system.
    The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Regulatory Improvement Act of 
2010 requires that this data be collected. 12 U.S.C. 1715z-25.
    This data collection is being revised to include aggregate values 
to be calculated from data that is currently reported in loan level 
format. These aggregate values will be industry standard measures of 
portfolio performance, including but not limited to: Outstanding loan 
count and unpaid principal balance; delinquency and liquidation ratios; 
and the number of loss mitigation actions completed. Aggregate values 
generally will be reported at the total portfolio level, with some 
values also reported by portfolio segments including, but not limited 
to: borrower credit class and type and execution date of loss 
mitigation action.
    The reported data items will still be calculated from loan level 
data that includes: Bankruptcy or foreclosure status; and other 
detailed loan information. Banks would not be required to report this 
data to the OCC monthly, but would be required to provide it upon OCC's 
request.
    Type of Review: Regular review.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.

matter of public record. Comments are invited 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;
