OCC has not
indicated a Fedeeral need for the program or the record keeping
requirements specified in thee text. These requireements do not
appear to be necessary for the safety and soundness of banks
dealing with futures and forward placement contract activities. The
requirements appear to have no practical utility and are therefore
unduly burdensome. Should OCC wish to resubmit the request and
simply require banks dealing in such activities to submit a short
letter of intent without the mandated record keeping requiremeents,
then OMB would approve the request.
