The FDIC has adopted regulations
intended to modernize the process of determining the insurance
status of each depositor in the event of a depository institution
failure. The regulations will enable operations of a large insured
depository institution to continue functioning on the day following
failure, support the FDICs efforts to fulfill its legal mandates
regarding the resolution of failed insured deposit institutions,
and apply to the largest institutions only ($2 billion in domestic
deposits or more). More specifically, the regulations require the
largest insured depository institutions to adopt mechanisms that
would, in the event of the institutions failure, (1) provide the
FDIC with standard deposit account and customer information, and
(2) allow the FDIC to place and release holds on liability
accounts, including deposits.
This is a new record
collection. The largest insured depository institutions are growing
increasingly complex. The FDIC is adopting a new regulation, 12 CFR
360.9, designed to allow the deposit operations of a failed
institution to be continued on the day following failure,
facilitate an insurance determination, and improve upon access to
depositor funds if one of these large institutions were to fail.
The new record collection requires Covered Institutions to provide
the FDIC with the name(s) of contacts; develop written practices
and procedures for providing the FDIC with required deposit account
and customer data in a standard format upon the close of any day's
business; provide data to the FDIC pursuant to testing and
verification procedures; and acquire and/or modify and maintain an
information systems in order to respond to the information
requirements.
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
