SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 
U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal agencies must obtain approval from the 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 renewal of the collection of 
information set forth in this document.
    Title: Annual Stress Test Rule.
    OMB Control No.: 1557-0311.
    Description: Section 165(i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform 
and Consumer Protection Act requires certain financial companies, 
including national banks and federal savings associations, to conduct 
annual stress tests \2\ and requires the primary financial regulatory 
agency \3\ of those financial companies to issue regulations 
implementing the stress test requirements.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 12 U.S.C. 5365(i)(2)(A).
    \3\ 12 U.S.C. 5301(12).
    \4\ 12 U.S.C. 5365(i)(2)(C).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Twelve CFR 46.6(a) specifies the calculations of the potential 
impact on capital that must be made during each quarter of a planning 
horizon. Section 46.6(c)(1) requires the senior management of each 
covered institution to establish and maintain a system of controls, 
oversight, and documentation, including policies and procedures that, 
at a minimum, describe the covered institution's stress test practices 
and methodologies and processes for updating the covered institution's 
stress test practices. Section 46.6(c)(2) provides that the board of 
directors of the covered institution shall approve and review these 
policies and procedures no less than annually and provide the board of 
directors and senior management with a summary of the stress test 
results.
    Section 46.7 provides that each covered institution shall report to 
the OCC and to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System 
annually the results of the stress test in the time, manner and form 
specified by the OCC.
    Section 46.8 requires that a covered institution publish a summary 
of the results of its annual stress tests on its website or in any 
other forum that is reasonably accessible to the public. The summary 
must include a description of the types of risks included in the stress 
test, a summary description of the methodologies used in the stress 
test, estimates of aggregate losses, pre-provision net revenue, 
provisions for loan and lease losses, net income, and pro forma capital 
ratios and an explanation of the most significant causes of the changes 
in regulatory capital ratios. The summary also must reflect, for 
estimates of aggregate losses, pre-provision net revenue, provisions 
for loan and lease losses, the estimated cumulative effects and 
estimated capital ratios, net income, and pro forma capital ratios 
(including regulatory and any other capital ratios specified by the 
OCC) at the end of the planning horizon, under the severely adverse 
scenario.
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 61.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 63,440 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 OCC, including whether the 
information has 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, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
