    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP)--Capital Purchase 
Program (CPP) Participants Use of Funds Survey.
    Abstract: 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 
(TARP). The TARP includes several components including a voluntary 
Capital Purchase Program (CPP) under which the Department has purchased 
qualifying capital in U.S. banking organizations. The CPP is an 
important part of the Department's efforts to restore confidence in our 
financial system and ensure that credit continues to be available to 
consumers and businesses. As an essential part of restoring confidence, 
the Treasury has committed to determining the effectiveness of the CPP. 
Additionally, American taxpayers are particularly interested in knowing 
how banks have used the money that Treasury has invested through the 
CPP. Consequently, the Treasury is seeking responses from banking 
institutions that have received CPP funds regarding: How the CPP 
investment has affected the banks' operations, how these institutions 
have used CPP funds, and how their usage of CPP funds has changed over 
time.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 960.

Acting Treasury PRA Clearance Officer.
