Title: Survey of Minority Owned Institutions.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0236.
Type of Review: Regular review.
Description: The OCC is committed to assessing its efforts to
provide supervisory support, technical assistance, education, and other
outreach to the minority-owned institutions under its supervision, in
accordance with meeting the goals prescribed under section 308 of the
Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of
1989.\2\ To perform this assessment, it is necessary to obtain feedback
from the individual institutions on the effectiveness of OCC's current
efforts in these areas and suggestions on how the OCC might enhance or
augment its supervision and technical assistance going forward. The OCC
uses the information gathered to assess the needs of minority-owned
institutions and its efforts to meet those needs. The OCC also uses the
information to focus and enhance its supervisory, technical assistance,
education, and other outreach activities with respect to minority-owned
institutions.
