APPROVED. WE
NOTE THAT THE CRA NOTICE REQUIREMENTS AT 12 CFR 345.6 ARE NOT
SUBJECT TO OMB REVIEW UNDER THE PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT. OUR
REGULATION IMPLEMENTING THE ACT AT 5 CFR 1320.7(c)(2) STATES THAT
"THE PUBLIC DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION ORGINALLY SUPPLIED BY THE
FEDERA GOVERNMENT TO THE RECIPIENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF DISCLOSURE TO
THE PUBLI IS NOT INCLUDED" WITHIN THE DEFINITION OF A COLLECTION OF
INFORMATION. HOWEVER, IT APPEARS THAT THE CRA NOTICE REQUIREMENTS,
INCLUDING THE REQUIREMENT TO REVISE THE NOTICE IF A BANK'S HOLDING
COMPANY STATUS CHANGES, MAY LACK PRACTICAL UTILITY AS IT APPEARS
THAT FEW INDIVIDUALS ARE AWARE OF THE NOTICE OR OF THE CRA
REQUIREMENTS. IT MAY BE USEFUL FOR THE FDIC, IN CONJUNCTION WITH
THE OTHER FEDERAL BANK REGULATORS, TO INVESTIGATE THE PRACTICAL
UTILITY OF THIS NOTICE REQUIREMENT AND TO MAKE ANY CHANGES OR
REVISIONS DEEMED APPROPIATE, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION BOTH THE
BENEFITS TO THE PUBLIC OF SUCH NOTICE AND THE BURDENS IMPOSED ON
THE BANKING INDUSTRY.
