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. Section 
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal 
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning 
each proposed collection of information, including each proposed 
extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting 
the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, 
the OCC is publishing notice of the proposed collection of information 
set forth in this document.
    Title: Interagency Guidance on Asset Securitization Activities.
    OMB Control No.: 1557-0217.
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Description: This information collection applies to institutions 
engaged in asset securitization activities and provides that any 
institution engaged in these activities should maintain a written asset 
securitization policy, document the fair value of retained interests, 
and maintain a management information system to monitor asset 
securitization activities. Institution management uses the information 
collected to ensure the safe and sound operation of the institution's 
asset securitization activities. The OCC uses the information to 
evaluate the quality of an institution's risk management practices.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Burden Estimates:

    Comments: The comments submitted in response to this notice will be 
summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments 
will become a 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 has practical utility;
    (b) The accuracy of the OCC's estimate of the information 
collection burden;
    (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,
