SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), 
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. The OCC asks

    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: Regular.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 61.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 29,280 hours.
    On February 5, 2019, the OCC issued a notice for 60 days of comment 
concerning this collection, 84 FR 1823. No comments were received. 
Comments continue to be 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
