FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM


Agency Information Collection Activities: Announcement of Board 
Approval Under Delegated Authority and Submission to OMB

AGENCY: Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
SUMMARY: On June 15, 1984, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
delegated to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System 
(Board) its approval authority under the Paperwork Reduction Act, as 
per 5 CFR 1320.16, to approve of and assign OMB control numbers to 
collection of information requests and requirements conducted or 
sponsored by the Board under conditions set forth in 5 CFR 1320 
Appendix A.1. Board-approved collections of information are 
incorporated into the official OMB inventory of currently approved 
collections of information. Copies of the OMB 83-Is and supporting 
statements and approved collection of information instruments are 
placed into OMB's public docket files. The Federal Reserve may not 
conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, 
an information collection that has been extended, revised, or 
implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Federal Reserve Board Clearance 
Officer--Mary M. West--Division of Research and Statistics, Board of 
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington, DC 20551 (202-452-
3829);
    OMB Desk Officer--Alexander T. Hunt--Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, New Executive 
Office Building, Room 3208, Washington, DC 20503 (202-395-7860).
Final Approval Under OMB Delegated Authority of the Extension for Three 
Years, Without Revision, of the Following Report
    Report title: Written Security Program for State Member Banks.
    Agency form number: FR 4004.
    OMB control number: 7100-0112.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Reporters: State member banks.
    Annual reporting hours: 47 hours.
    Estimated average hours per response: 0.5 hours.
    Number of respondents: 94.
    Small businesses are affected.
    General description of report: This recordkeeping requirement is 
mandatory (12 U.S.C. 1882), 12 U.S.C. 248(a)(1) and 325, and Regulation 
H (12 CFR, part 208.61) authorize the Board to require the 
recordkeeping of this information. Because written security programs 
are maintained at state member banks, no issue of confidentiality under 
the Freedom of Information Act normally arises. However, copies of such 
documents included in examination work papers would, in such form, be 
confidential pursuant to exemption 8 of the Freedom of Information Act 
(5 U.S.C. 552(b)(8)).
    Abstract: This mandatory information collection is a recordkeeping 
requirement contained in the Federal Reserve's Regulation H, Section 
208.61. Each state member bank must develop and implement a written 
security program and maintain it in the bank's records. There is no 
formal reporting form and the information is not submitted to the 
Federal Reserve.

    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, June 21, 2001.
Jennifer J. Johnson,
Secretary of the Board.
