Notice is hereby given of the final approval of proposed information collections by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board) under OMB delegated authority, as per 5 CFR 1320.16 (OMB Regulations on Controlling Paperwork Burdens on the Public). Board-approved collections of information are incorporated into the official OMB inventory of currently approved collections of information. Copies of the Paperwork Reduction Act Submission, supporting statements and approved collection of information instrument(s) are placed into OMB's public docket files. The Federal Reserve may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Federal Reserve Board Clearance Officer --Michelle Shore--Division of Research and Statistics, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington, DC 20551 (202-452-3829) OMB Desk Officer--Alexander T. Hunt--Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room 10235, Washington, DC 20503.

(SEC)amended Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to extend the reporting time period to 30 calendar days after the end of the calendar quarter. In order to promote practical and uniform recordkeeping requirements that are consistent with the SEC and other federal banking regulators' rules, the Federal Reserve is in the process of revising the 10 calendar day reporting requirement for state member banks and state member trust companies to a 30 calendar day reporting time period. *Current Action:* On August 24, 2007, the Federal Reserve published a notice in the Federal Register (72 FR 48639) requesting public comment for 60 days on the Reg H-3 information collection.
