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. 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 renewal of the collection of 
information set forth in this document.
    Title: Fiduciary Activities.
    OMB Control No.: 1557-0140.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Abstract: The OCC is seeking to renew the emergency approval 
granted for the information collection requirements contained in the 
interim final rule titled ``Collective Investment Funds: Prior Notice 
Period for Withdrawals.'' \2\ The rule provides that, with the OCC's 
approval, and if certain conditions are satisfied, a bank administering 
a collective investment fund that is invested primarily in real estate 
or other assets that are not readily marketable may withdraw an account 
from a collective investment fund up to one year after the end of the 
standard withdrawal period. In addition, a bank may request that the 
OCC approve an extension beyond the one-year extension period, if 
certain conditions are satisfied. Extensions past the initial one-year 
extension must be requested and approved annually, for a maximum of two 
years after the initial one-year extension period.
