The OCC issued a final rule 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. 72 FR 63718 (November 9, 2007).
OCC is citing an increase in the burden due to an increase in the number of respondents as a result of implementing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, P.L. 111-203, 124 Stat 1376 (2010).
The information collection is used to identify patterns, practices, and specific forms of activity that indicate the possible existence of identity theft. The policies and procedures address the risk of identity theft and assess the validity of requests for changes of address under certain circumstances.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
