(EESA) of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-343), as amended by the American Recovery 
and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, the Department of the Treasury has 
implemented aspects of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) by 
codifying section 108 of EESA. Title 31 CFR part 31, TARP Conflict of 
Interest, sets forth the process for reviewing and addressing actual or 
potential conflicts of interest among any individuals or entities 
seeking or having a contract or financial agency agreement with the 
Treasury for services under EESA. The information collection required 
by this part will be used to evaluate and minimize real and apparent

5, the Department of the Treasury established the Troubled Asset Relief 
Program (TARP) to purchase, and to make and fund commitments to

and conditions determined by the Secretary. Section 111 of EESA, as 
amended by ARRA, provides that certain entities receiving financial 
assistance from Treasury under TARP will be subject to specified 
executive compensation and corporate governance standards established 
by the Secretary. These standards were set forth in the interim final 
rule published on June 15, 2009 (74 FR 28394), as corrected on December 
7, 2009 (74 FR 63990) (the Interim Final Rule). The standards 
implemented in the Interim Final Rule require that TARP recipients 
submit certain information pertaining to their executive compensation 
and corporate governance practices.
