    Title: Use of TARP Funds and Compliance with Executive Compensation 
Issues.
    Description: The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 
(``Act''), Public Law 110-343, established the Troubled Asset Relief 
Program (``TARP'') and created the Office of the Special Inspector 
General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (``SIGTARP''). SIGTARP is 
responsible for coordinating and conducting audits and investigations 
of any program established by the Secretary of the Treasury under the 
Act. One of SIGTARP's primary areas of focus has been ensuring, to the 
fullest extent possible, transparency in the operation of TARP. 
Increasingly, members of the Congress, the press, and the public are 
expressing frustration and raising questions about: (1) The lack of 
information about how TARP recipients are using or plan to use funding 
provided by the Federal government under the various TARP programs; and 
(2) insufficient transparency regarding efforts to restrain excessive 
executive compensation. The questionnaire is designed to address these 
questions.
    Respondents: Businesses and other for-profit institutions.
    Estimated Total Reporting Burden: 200 hours.
