SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC is requesting that OMB extend the expiration date on the following information collection: *Title:* Securities Offering Disclosure Rules—12 CFR Part 16. *OMB Number:* 1557-0120. *Description:* This submission covers an existing regulation and involves no change to the regulation or to the information collection requirements. The OCC requests only that OMB approve its estimates, revised to more accurately reflect the number of reports filed and the hours required to complete such reports. The requirements in part 16 enable the OCC to perform its responsibilities relating to offerings of securities by national banks by providing the investing public with facts about the condition of the bank, the reasons for raising new capital, and the terms of the offering. The public needs this information to make an informed decision on whether such securities are an appropriate investment. • Section 16.3 requires a national bank to file its registration statement with the OCC. • Section 16.5 provides exemptions for certain offers or sales of banks securities, which, in turn, require certain filings. • Section 16.6 requires a national bank to file documents with the OCC and to make certain disclosures to purchasers in sales of nonconvertible debt. • Section 16.7 provides exemptions for certain nonpublic offerings, which, in turn, require certain filings. • Section 16.8 provides small issues exemptions, which, in turn, require certain filings. • Section 16.15 requires a national bank to file a registration statement and sets forth content requirements for the registration statement. • Section 16.20 requires a national bank to file current and periodic reports as required by sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and those provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that the OCC is authorized to enforce. In addition, the OCC requires a national bank to give notice to it when the bank's duty to file public and periodic reports with the OCC is suspended. This requirement reflects SEC Rule 15d6. • Section 16.30 requires a national bank to include certain elements and follow certain procedures in any request to the OCC for a no-objection letter. *Estimated number of respondents:* 81. *Estimated number of responses:* 191. *Average hours per response:* Varies. *Estimated total burden hours:* 5,333 hours. *Likely respondents:* National banks. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Affected Public:* Businesses or other for-profit.

Stuart Feldstein, Assistant Director, Legislative & Regulatory Activities Division. [FR Doc. E6-6031 Filed 4-21-06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4810-33-P 71 78 Monday, April 24, 2006 Presidential Documents Title 3— The President Proclamation 8003 of April 19, 2006 National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, 2006 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation For 50 years, the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports has helped individuals, schools, communities, businesses, and organizations promote healthy lifestyles. During this year's National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, we celebrate the Council's 50th anniversary and underscore our Nation's strong commitment to health, physical activity, and fitness. President Dwight D. Eisenhower founded the President's Council on Youth Fitness in 1956 to encourage America's youth to make fitness a priority. He wrote that year, “Our young people must be physically as well as mentally and spiritually prepared for American citizenship.” The Council later became the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, including people of all ages and abilities and promoting fitness through sports and games. Today, the Council continues to play an important role in promoting fitness and healthy living in America. My HealthierUS Initiative provides simple steps to help citizens live longer and better lives, and millions of young people and adults have participated in the President's Challenge awards program. The Council's website, fitness.gov, has information about these programs and other ways Americans can improve their health through physical activity. By exercising regularly and maintaining healthy eating habits, individuals can feel better and reduce their risk of chronic health conditions like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. An active lifestyle also creates opportunities for friends and family to spend time together and enjoy various forms of exercise, such as biking, hiking, and team sports. The medical benefits, increased self-confidence, and stress reduction that can come from athletic activity help contribute to a healthier, more productive Nation. I urge children, teens, and all Americans to make time every day for exercise and to encourage family, friends, and neighbors to live healthier lives by participating in physical fitness activities. As President Kennedy said at the 1961 Youth Fitness Conference, “We do not want in the United States a nation of spectators. We want a nation of participants in the vigorous life.” NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 2006 as National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. I call upon the people of the United States to make daily exercise a priority. I encourage individuals, community organizations, and schools to celebrate with physical and athletic activities and to work toward the great national goal of an active, fit America. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this nineteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth.
