or augment its supervision and technical assistance going forward. The 
OCC uses the information gathered to assess the needs of minority-owned 
institutions as well as its efforts to address those needs. The OCC

technical assistance, education, and other outreach activities with 
respect to minority-owned institutions.

be solicited on:
    (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the OCC, including whether the 
information has practical utility;
    (b) The accuracy of the OCC's estimate of the information 
collection burden;
    (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
