Approved without
change for two years, in light of the comments received on this new
collection. OMB notes with concern the com- ment from the
Independent Community Bankers of America (1/4/2006) which charges
lack of coordination among the federal banking agencies. Based on
conversation, we understand that OCC has used the process of the
Federal Financial Institutions Examining Counc il to seek early and
informal collaboration on this collection. OMB welcomed the January
11th Money Laundering Threat Assessment, a collaborative effort of
sixteen federal agencies. We would like the same collaborative
spirit to assist in this information collection. The next ICR for
this collection (7/07 or later) should detail how collaboration
among the banking agencies was employed to help reduce the burden
and increase the practical utility of this collection.
