SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal 
agencies must obtain approval from the OMB for each collection of 
information that they conduct or sponsor. ``Collection of information'' 
is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) to include agency 
requests or requirements that members of the public submit reports, 
keep records, or provide information to a third party.
    The OCC is requesting that OMB extend its approval of this 
collection.
    Title of Information Collection: Basel II Interagency Supervisory 
Guidance for the Supervisory Review Process (Pillar 2).
    OMB Control No.: 1557-0242.
    Frequency of Response: Event-generated.
    Affected Public: National banks.
    Abstract: In 2008, the agencies \1\ issued a supervisory guidance 
document for implementing the supervisory review process (Pillar 2).\2\ 
Sections 37, 41, 43, and 46 of the guidance contain information 
collections. Section 37 provides that banks should state clearly the 
definition of capital used in any aspect of its internal capital 
adequacy assessment process (ICAAP) and document any changes in the 
internal definition of capital. Section 41 provides that banks should 
maintain thorough documentation of ICAAP. Section 43 specifies that the 
board of directors should approve the bank's ICAAP, review it on a 
regular basis, and approve any changes. Boards of directors, under 
section 46, should periodically review the assessment of overall 
capital adequacy and to analyze how measures of internal capital 
adequacy compare with other capital measures (such as regulatory or 
accounting).
