The interim rule sets forth additional
executive compensation requirements under EESA. In October 2008,
Treasury issued an interim rule that required financial
institutions from which the Treasury is purchasing troubled assets
through direct purchases to meet appropriate standards for
executive compensation and corporate governance. The information
collections included in this interim final rule provides reporting
and recordkeeping requirements for executive compensation. The
information will be used to monitor compliance with the executive
compensation requirements of EESA and implementing
regulations.
The Department of the
Treasury (Treasury) respectfully requests emergency processing and
approval of the collection of information contained in the interim
rule to amend executive compensation requirements for participants
in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) Capital Purchase
Program (CPP). The collection of information is needed to fulfill
Treasurys responsibilities under the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act (EESA) of 2008 (Public Law 110-343; approved
October 3, 2008). Treasury cannot reasonably comply with the normal
clearance procedures under 5 C.F.R. Part 1320 because of the
current turmoil in the financial markets.
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.
