The FDIC regulations modernized the
process of determining the insurance status of each depositor in
the event of a depository institution failure. The regulations
enable operations of a large insured depository institution to
continue functioning on the day following failure, support the
FDIC's 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 institution's 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 information
collection lapsed during a staffing shortage. This collection is
essential because the FDIC actively supervises large insured
depository institutions and requires that such institutions adopt
mechanisms that, in the event of the institution’s failure: (1)
provide the FDIC with standard deposit account and customer
information because the FDIC is required to pay insured deposits
“as soon as possible” after an institution fails [usually the next
business day] ; and (2) allow the FDIC to place and release holds
on liability accounts, including deposits. It is critical to the
FDIC’s mission and essential for depositor confidence that there be
no disruption in the collection of this information. Emergency
reinstatement is necessary because this information must be made
immediately available for the FDIC to fulfill its duties and
mission as a deposit insurer.
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
