    Under the PRA, Federal agencies are required to publish notice in 
the Federal Register concerning each proposed collection of 
information, including each proposed extension of an existing 
collection of information, and to allow 60 days for public comment in 
response to the notice.
    In accordance with the requirements of the PRA, the OCC may not 
conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, 
an information collection unless it displays a currently valid Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) control number.
    The OCC is soliciting comment concerning its proposed information 
collection titled, ``Domestic Residential Home Equity Lending Data.''

DATES: You should submit written comments by: November 4, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC is requesting OMB approval for the 
following information collection:
    Title: Domestic Residential Home Equity Lending Data.
    OMB Control Number: To be assigned by OMB.
    Description: Comprehensive home equity line of credit data is vital 
to assessing and monitoring credit quality and loss mitigation 
activities in the residential mortgage market and the federal banking 
system. This data is important and necessary to support supervisory 
activities to ensure the safety and soundness of the federal banking 
system. Where the respondent is both the servicer and originator of a 
home equity loan or line of credit, the Home Equity Residential Lending 
Data collection would include origination data and only servicing data 
where the respondent services for others. Detailed loan level data 
would be collected monthly and portfolio level data collected 
quarterly. All data collected would be based on standard data and 
definitions.
    The reported loan level data items would include: Loan number; 
property information; loan, line, and appraisal amounts; loan 
documentation information; loan-to-values and debt-to income-ratios; 
non-personally identifiable information borrower information; 
bankruptcy and foreclosure status; and other detailed loan information. 
The reported portfolio level data would include: Total managed Home 
Equity portfolio (lines and loans), total securitized Home

Equity portfolio, and other portfolio level information.
    Also, in order to match senior and junior lien residential 
mortgages on the same collateral, the OCC would collect additional 
information (add data elements) on the residential mortgage loans 
reported in Domestic First Lien Residential Mortgage and the Domestic 
Residential Home Equity Lending datasets. This data would include: 
Property and mailing address, census tract, liquidation status, and 
original lien position. By matching the senior and junior liens by 
property ID, the OCC would gain better insight into the level of risk 
of both credit types, for example, current loans secured by junior 
liens behind past due loans secured by first liens.
    By matching the senior and junior liens by property ID, the OCC 
would gain better insight into the level of risk of both credit types, 
for example, current loans secured by junior liens behind past due 
loans secured by first liens.
    Type of Review: Regular review.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 64.
    Estimated Annual Responses per Respondent: 12.
    Estimated Burden per Response: 430.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 330,240 hours.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a respondent is not 
required to respond to, an information collection unless the 
information collection displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments become a 
matter of public record. Comments are invited on:
    (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the OCC, including whether the 
information shall have practical utility;
    (b) The accuracy of the OCC'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 start-up costs and costs of operation, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
