SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), 
federal agencies must obtain approval from the OMB for each collection

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 renewal 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: Bank Appeals Follow-Up Questionnaire.

    Description: The OCC's Office of the Ombudsman (Ombudsman) is 
committed to assessing its efforts to provide a fair and expeditious 
appeal process to institutions under OCC supervision. To perform this 
assessment, it is necessary to obtain feedback from individual 
appellant institutions on the effectiveness of the Ombudsman's efforts 
to provide a fair and expeditious appeals process and suggestions to 
enhance the bank appeals process. The Ombudsman uses the information 
gathered to assess adherence to OCC Bulletin 2013-15, ``Bank Appeals 
Process,'' dated June 7, 2013, for each appeal submitted and to enhance 
its bank appeals program.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 15.

    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Comments: 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 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;
    (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.
