respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection

(OMB) control number. The Federal Financial Institutions Examination
Council (FFIEC), of which the agencies are members, has approved the
agencies'publication for public comment of a proposal to extend,
without revision, the Report on Indebtedness of Executive Officers and
Principal Shareholders and their Related Interests to Correspondent
Banks (FFIEC 004), which are currently approved information
collections. At the end of the comment period, the comments and
recommendations received will be analyzed to determine the extent to
which the FFIEC and the agencies should modify the report. The agencies
will then submit the report to OMB for review and approval.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before January 12, 2004.

any or all of the agencies. All comments, which should refer to the OMB

General Description of Report: These information collections
are
mandatory: 12 U.S.C. 1972(2)(G) (all); 12 U.S.C. 1817(k), 12 CFR 31.2,
and 12 U.S.C. 93a (OCC); 12 U.S.C. 1468 and 12 CFR 563.43 (OTS); 12
U.S.C. 375(a)(6) and (10), and 375(b)(10) (Board); and 12 CFR 349.3 and
349.4 (FDIC). In general,
these information collections are given
confidential treatment (5 U.S.C. 552 (b)(8)), but banks and saving
associations are required to make certain limited disclosures.
Abstract: Executive officers and principal shareholders of
insured
banks and saving associations must file with their institution the
information contained in the FFIEC 004 report on their indebtedness and
that of their related interests to correspondent banks. The information
contained in the FFIEC 004 report is prescribed by statute and
regulation, as cited above. Banks and saving associations must retain
these reports or reports containing similar information and fulfill
other record keeping requirements, such as furnishing annually a list
of their correspondent banks to their executive officers and principal
shareholders. Banks and saving associations also have certain
disclosure requirements for these information collections.
Current Actions: The agencies propose to extend, without
revision,
the FFIEC 004 report. The agencies continue to evaluate the record
keeping requirements contained in their regulations that relate to the
FFIEC 004 report. Should the agencies decide to revise these
regulations, a separate Federal Register notice will be published
inviting comment from the public on the proposed revisions. Any
revisions that may be made to the agencies' regulations would be
subsequently incorporated into these information collections (FFIEC
004).
Request for Comment
Comments are invited on:
a. Whether the information collections are necessary for the
proper
performance of the agencies' functions, including whether the
information has practical utility;
b. The accuracy of the agencies' estimates of the burden of
the
information collections, including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
c. Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
d. Ways to minimize the burden of information 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.
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be shared
among
the agencies. All comments will become a matter of public record.
Written comments should address the accuracy of the burden estimates
and ways to minimize burden as well as other relevant aspects of the
information collection request.
