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: Background. Notice is hereby given of the final approval of 
proposed information collection by the Board of Governors of the 
Federal Reserve System (Board) under OMB delegated authority, as per 5 
CFR 1320.16 (OMB Regulations on Controlling Paperwork Burdens on the 
Public). Board-approved collections of information are incorporated 
into the official OMB inventory of currently approved collections of 
information. Copies of the Paperwork Reduction Act Submission, 
supporting statements and approved collection of information 
instrument(s) 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 -- Michelle Shore -- Division of Research and Statistics, Board 
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington, DC 20551 (202-
452-3829).
    OMB Desk Officer -- Mark Menchik -- Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, New Executive 
Office Building, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503, or e-mail to 
[email protected].

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: 35 hours
    Estimated average hours per response: 0.5 hours
    Number of respondents: 70
    General description of report: This recordkeeping requirement is 
mandatory pursuant to section 3 of the Bank Protection Act [12 U.S.C. 
Sec.  1882(a)] and Regulation H [12 C.F.R. Sec.  208.61]. 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. Sec.  552(b)(8)].
    Abstract: Each state member bank must develop and implement a 
written security program and maintain it in the

[[Page 7040]]

bank's records. This program should include a requirement to install 
security devices and should establish procedures that satisfy minimum 
standards in the regulation, with the security officer determining the 
need for additional security devices and procedures based on the 
location of the banking office. There is no formal reporting form and 
the information is not submitted to the Federal Reserve.
    Current Actions: On December 4, 2006, the Federal Reserve published 
a notice in the Federal Register (71 FR 70392) requesting public 
comment for 60 days on the extension, without revision, of the Written 
Security Program for State Member Banks. The comment period for this 
notice expired on February 2, 2007. The Federal Reserve did not receive 
any comments.

    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, February 8, 
2007.
Jennifer J. Johnson
Secretary of the Board
