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 asking OMB to extend its approval of the following 
information collection:
    Title: Examination Survey.
    OMB Control No.: 1557-0199.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Abstract: The OCC provides each national bank, Federal savings 
association, and Federal branch or agency (bank) with an Examination 
Survey at the end of its supervisory cycle (12- or 18-month period). 
This information collection permits banks to assess the OCC's bank 
supervisory activities, including the:
     Effectiveness of OCC communications with the bank;
     Reasonableness of OCC requests for data and information;
     Quality of OCC decision making during the exam process;
     Professionalism of OCC examining staff; and
     Responsiveness of OCC examiners.
    The OCC developed the survey in 1994, at the suggestion of banking 
industry members who expressed a desire to provide examination-related 
feedback to the OCC. The Comptroller of the Currency and OCC 
supervisory staff considered that expressed desire and concurred. The 
information collection continues to be an important tool for the OCC to 
measure OCC examination performance, design more efficient and 
effective examinations, and target examiner training.
    This information collection continues to formalize and promote a 
long-

standing OCC program. The OCC always has given the institutions it 
supervises the opportunity to provide input regarding the examination 
process.
    Burden Estimates:
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,714.
     Estimated Annual Burden: 286 hours.
    On October 5, 2020, the OCC issued a notice for 60 days of comment 
concerning the collection, 85 FR 62801. 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 has practical utility;
    (b) The accuracy of the OCC's estimate of the information 
collection burden;
    (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.
