The OCC issued a notice of proposed rulemaking together with the FRB, FDIC, OTS, NCUA, and FTC to implement sections 114 and 315 of the FACT Act, which require that the agencies issue guidelines and regulations regarding identity theft. 71 FR 40786 (July 18, 2006).
The OCC received a Notice of Action on September 7, 2006 indicating only that a comment was filed on the proposed rule. OCC is now seeking assignment of a control number and an identical expiration date to that assigned to OTS.
The OTS received approval on September 13, 2006 and was assigned OMB Control No. 1557-0113 and an expiration date of September 30, 2009. The OCC received a Notice of Action on September 7, 2006 indicating only that a comment was filed on the proposed rule. As the OTS and OCC rules were proposed jointly and are identical, the OCC requests that a control number be assigned and an expiration date identical to OTS's be given.
