collection unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) control number. The OCC is soliciting comment

information collection to OMB for review and approval.

DATES: Comments must be submitted by November 26, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC is proposing to extend the approval 
for the following information collection:
    Title: Examination Questionnaire.
    OMB Control No.: 1557-0199.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Type of Review: Regular review.
    Abstract: The OCC has revised its Examination Questionnaire and 
updated the estimated burden hours to reflect the reduction in the 
number of national banks. Completed Examination Questionnaires provide 
the OCC with information needed to properly evaluate the effectiveness 
of the examination process and agency communications. The OCC will use 
the information to identify problems or trends that may impair the 
effectiveness of the examination process, to identify ways to improve 
its service to the banking industry, and to analyze staff and training 
needs. A questionnaire is provided to each national bank at the 
conclusion of their supervisory cycle (12 or 18-month period). A banker 
may now choose to complete this questionnaire on National BankNet, the 
OCC's extranet site.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,800.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 1,602.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.17 hours.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 267 hours.
    Comments: A 60-day Federal Register Notice was issued on July 26, 
2007 (72 FR 41105). No comments were received. Comments continue to be 
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 startup costs and costs of operation, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.

    Dated: October 17, 2007.
