Proposal Under OMB Delegated Authority To Extend for Three Years, With 
Revision, the Following Information Collection

    Collection title: Application for Exemption from Prohibited Service 
at Savings and Loan Holding Companies.
    Collection identifier: FR LL-12.
    OMB Control Number: 7100-0338.
    General description of collection: The Federal Deposit Insurance 
(FDI) Act and the Board's Regulation LL--Savings and Loan Holding 
Companies (12 CFR part 238) prohibit individuals who have been 
convicted of certain criminal offenses or who have agreed to enter into 
a pretrial diversion or similar program in connection with a 
prosecution for such criminal offenses from participating in the 
affairs of a savings and loan holding company (SLHC) or any of its 
subsidiaries without the written consent of the Board. Such an 
individual, or the SLHC with which the individual seeks to participate, 
may apply for an exemption from this prohibition.
    Proposed revisions: The Board proposes to revise the FR LL-12 by 
clearing two previously uncleared recordkeeping and disclosure 
requirements: (1) In order to utilize the exception at 12 CFR 238.86 
related to employees in non-policymaking roles, an SLHC must maintain a 
list of all policymaking positions and review this list annually; and 
(2) A person who is not subject to the requirement to seek an exemption 
from the Board because their criminal offenses are de minimis must 
disclose the conviction or pretrial diversion or similar program to all 
insured depository institutions and other banking organizations the 
affairs of which he or she participates.
    Frequency: Event-generated.
    Respondents: SLHCs; Individuals.
    Total estimated number of respondents: 32.
    Total estimated change in burden: 530.
    Total estimated annual burden hours: 674.\1\
