SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal 
agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget 
(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 title 44 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: Release of Non-Public Information.
    OMB Control No.: 1557-0200.
    Abstract: The information collection requirements require 
individuals who are requesting non-public OCC information to provide 
the OCC with information regarding the legal grounds for the request. 
The release of non-public OCC information to a requester without 
sufficient legal grounds to obtain the information would inhibit open 
consultation between a bank and the OCC, thereby impairing the OCC's 
supervisory and regulatory mission. The OCC is entitled, under statute 
and case law, to require requesters to demonstrate that they have 
sufficient legal grounds for the OCC to release non-public OCC 
information. The OCC needs to identify the requester's legal grounds to 
determine if it should release the requested non-public OCC 
information.
    The information requirements in 12 CFR part 4, subpart C, are as 
follows:
    (1) 12 CFR 4.33: Request for non-public OCC records or testimony.
    (2) 12 CFR 4.35(b)(3): Third parties requesting testimony.
    (3) 12 CFR 4.37(a)(2): OCC former employee notifying OCC of 
subpoena.
    (4) 12 CFR 4.37(a) and (b): Prohibition on dissemination of 
released information.
    (5) 12 CFR 4.38(a) and (b): Restrictions on dissemination of 
released information.
    (6) 12 CFR 4.39(d): Request for authenticated records or 
certificate of nonexistence of records.
    The OCC uses the information to process requests for non-public OCC 
information and to determine if sufficient grounds exist for the OCC to 
release the requested information or provide testimony that would 
include a discussion of non-public information. This information 
collection facilitates the processing of requests and expedites the 
OCC's release of non-public information and testimony to the requester, 
as appropriate.
    Type of Review: Extension, without change, of a currently approved 
collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit; individuals.
    Number of Respondents: 2.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Total Annual Burden: 6 hours.
    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 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;
    (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, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.

Acting Senior Deputy Comptroller and Chief Counsel.
