    Title: Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) Capital Purchase 
Program (CPP) All Participants Monthly Report.
    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 has so far invested capital through 
this program in over 400 financial institutions. As part of this 
program, Treasury would like to gauge, whether the capital injections 
made through the CPP are having the desired effect of ensuring 
liquidity within the banking system and thereby increasing lending 
activity. To gauge this, Treasury would like to monitor the lending 
activity of all CPP participants. 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 all participants in the CPP in order to supplement the 
quarterly analysis.
    Respondents: Businesses or other for-profit institutions.
    Estimated Total Reporting Burden: 48,000 hours.
