insured savings associations, their subsidiaries, and their holding
companies in order to assure their safety and soundness as
depositories of the personal of the personal monies of the general
public. OTS monitors financial positions and interest-rate risk so
that adverse conditions can be remedied promptly.
The agencies have
determined that (1) the collection of information within the scope
of this request is needed prior to the expiration of time periods
established under 5 C.F.R. § 1320.10; (2) this collection of
information is essential to the mission of the agencies; and (3)
the agencies cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance
procedures because an unanticipated event has occurred and the use
of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to prevent or
disrupt the collection of information.

the burden due to revisions to the TFR resulting in an increase in
the response time. OTS is also citing a decrease in number of
responses. The deposit insurance assessment-related reporting
changes that are the subject of this request for emergency
clearance will provide the information the FDIC needs to calculate
(1) the assessment bases for all insured depository institutions as
redefined in accordance with section 331(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act
and the FDIC's final rule, and (2) the assessment rates for "large
institutions" and "highly complex institutions" using a scorecard
set forth in the final rule that combines CAMELS ratings and
certain forward-looking financial measures to assess the risk such
institutions pose to the Deposit Insurance Fund.
