SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), federal 
agencies must obtain approval from 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. Section 
3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires federal 
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning 
each proposed collection of information, including each proposed 
extension of an existing collection of information, before submitting 
the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with this requirement, 
the OCC is publishing notice of the proposed extension of this 
collection of information.
    Title: Domestic First Lien Residential Mortgage Data.
    OMB Control No.: 1557-0331.
    Description: Section 104(a) of the Helping Families Save Their 
Homes Act of 2009 (12 U.S.C. 1715z-25(a) (Act), as amended by section 
1493(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection 
Act, requires the OCC to submit a quarterly report to Congress on 
mortgage modification activity in the federal banking system. Section 
104(b) of the Act (12 U.S.C. 1715z-25(b)) requires the OCC to collect 
mortgage modification data from national banks and federal savings 
associations and provides for the collection of all data necessary to 
fulfill the reporting requirements of section 104(a). Those 
requirements include information on the number of mortgage 
modifications in each state that have certain characteristics, such as 
changes to the principal amount of a loan or changes to a homeowner's 
total monthly principal and interest payment.
    The OCC currently collects aggregate data on first-lien residential 
mortgage loans serviced by seven national banks with large mortgage-
servicing portfolios. The required aggregate data are industry standard 
measures of portfolio performance, including: (1) Outstanding loan 
count and unpaid principal balance; (2) delinquency and liquidation 
ratios; and (3) the number of loss mitigation actions completed.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of an existing information 
collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 61.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 29,280 hours.
    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.
