    OMB Number: 1505-0210.
    Type of Review: Extension.
    Title: Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) Capital Purchase 
Program (CPP) Monthly Survey.
    Description: Authorized under the Emergency Economic Stabilization 
Act (EESA) of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-343), the Department of the Treasury 
has implemented several aspects of the Troubled Asset Relief Program. 
Among these components is a voluntary Capital Purchase Program (CPP) 
under which the Department may purchase qualifying capital in U.S. 
banking organizations. The Treasury invested capital through this 
program in over 250 financial institutions. As part of this program, 
Treasury would like to track how the capital is being used, and whether 
these capital injections are having the desired effect of ensuring 
liquidity within the banking system and thereby increasing lending 
activity. The Treasury will be conducting evaluations using quarterly 
Call Report data supplied by these financial institutions to their 
primary regulator. However, in order to have a more frequent and timely 
snapshot of the current lending environment, Treasury is requesting the 
ability to conduct a monthly survey of the 20 largest institutions by 
loans outstanding in order to supplement the quarterly analysis.
    Respondents: Businesses and other for-profit institutions.
    Estimated Total Reporting Burden: 12,000 hours.
    Clearance Officer: Suzanne Tosini, Treasury Office of Financial 
Stability, 1801 L Street, NW., Washington, DC 20220, (202) 927-9627.
