Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 41 / Thursday, March 1, 2018 / Notices

Overview of the Information
Collection Requests. The FDIC proposes
to implement a number of revisions to
currently-approved information
collections, based on the
recommendations of an interagency
working group comprised of
representatives from the FDIC, the
Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, and the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency, who
collaborated to recommend the
proposed changes. The proposed
changes are being made to: (a) Improve
the clarity of the requests; (b) reflect
new laws, regulations, capital
requirements and accounting rules; (c)
delete information requests that have
been determined to be unnecessary for
the analysis of the filing; and (d) add
transparency for filers regarding the
information that is required to consider
a filing. In determining which changes
to propose, the FDIC surveyed its
regional offices to solicit
recommendations for changes to the
forms and considered the effects of the
changes on community bank
organizations, which represent the
majority of filers. Although the revisions
add items to these forms, the FDIC
believes that some of these additions are
related to information typically
requested on a follow-up basis.
Requesting the information up-front
should increase transparency for filers
as well as improve the efficiency of the
submission and review process.
The FDIC is proposing to revise and
request a three-year extension of the
following currently-approved
collections of information:
1. Title: Interagency Biographical and
Financial Report.
OMB Number: 3064–0006.
Type: Revision of a currently
approved collection.

Form: Interagency Biographical and
Financial Report.
Form Number: 6200/06.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; business or other for profit;
Insured state nonmember banks and
state savings associations.
Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 574.
Estimated Time per Response: 4.5
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
2,583 hours.
General Description of Collection: The
Interagency Biographical and Financial
Report is submitted to the FDIC by: (1)
Each individual director, officer, or
individual or group of shareholders
acting in concert that will own or
control 10 percent or more, of a
proposed or operating depository
institution applying for FDIC deposit
insurance; (2) a person proposing to
acquire control of an insured state
nonmember bank, state savings
association (FDIC-supervised
institution) and certain parent
companies of such entities; (3) each
proposed new director or proposed new
chief executive officer of an FDICsupervised institution which has
undergone a change in control within
the preceding twelve months; and (4)
each proposed new director or senior
executive officer of an FDIC-supervised
institution that is not in compliance
with all minimum capital requirements,
is in troubled condition, or otherwise is
required to provide such notice. The
information collected is used by the
FDIC to evaluate the general character
and financial condition of individuals
who will be involved in the
management or control of financial
institutions, as required by statute. In
order to lessen the burden on
applicants, the FDIC cooperates with the

other federal banking agencies to the
maximum extent possible in processing
the various applications.
Proposed Revisions: The proposed
changes for the Interagency Biographical
and Financial Report include additional
requested items relating to information
that generally was previously requested
as supplemental information subsequent
to the filing of the initial application;
clarification of exact requirements of
certain requests; deletion of certain
requested items that the FDIC no longer
believes are helpful in evaluating the
notice; and other minor changes for
improved grammar, comprehension,
and accurate citations and mailing
addresses. Because a filer may require
some additional time to incorporate
supplemental documentation,
particularly in connection with the
requested description of pending legal
and related matters, the FDIC estimates
that the proposed revisions will result
in an additional half an hour of
reporting burden for each filer.
Accordingly, the estimated time per
response is being increased from 4
hours to 4.5 hours. The proposed
revised ‘‘Interagency Biographical and
Financial Report’’ form and a redlined
version highlighting the proposed
revisions from the currently-approved
form may be reviewed by the public at
https://www.FDIC.gov/regulations/laws/
federal.
2. Title: Interagency Bank Merger Act
Application.
OMB Number: 3064–0015.
Type: Revision of a currently
approved collection.
Form: Interagency Bank Merger Act
Application.
Form Number: 6220/01.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households; business or other for profit.

application is used for a merger,
consolidation, or other combining
transaction between nonaffiliated
parties as well as to effect a corporate
reorganization between affiliated parties
(affiliate transaction). An affiliate
transaction refers to a merger
transaction or other business
combination (including a purchase and

assumption) between institutions that
are commonly controlled (for example,
between a depository institution and an
affiliated interim institution). There are
different levels of burden for
nonaffiliate and affiliate transactions.
Applicants proposing affiliate
transactions are required to provide less
information than applicants involved in

the merger of two unaffiliated entities.
If depository institutions are not
controlled by the same holding
company, the merger transaction is
considered a nonaffiliate transaction.
Proposed Revisions: The proposed
changes to the Interagency Bank Merger
Act Application form include additional
items relating to information that was
previously requested as supplemental
information subsequent to the filing of
the initial application; clarification of
certain requested items related to
biographical and financial information
for principals and to Community
Reinvestment Act-related information;
deletion of the request for cash flow
projections for the parent company;
updated requests to account for
statutory considerations related to the
effect of a transaction on the stability of
the United States financial system,
changes to capital requirements and
accounting rules; and other minor
changes to improve grammar and
readability, provide accurate citations to
authority, and update mailing
addresses. As a result of the revisions
described above, applicants may need to
provide additional financial
information, describe pending litigation
and investigations, and summarize the
effects of a proposed transaction on
financial stability. For this reason, the
FDIC estimates that the proposed
revisions will result in an additional
hour of burden for each applicant.
Accordingly, the estimated times per
response are being increased from 18 to
19 hours for affiliate transactions and 30
to 31 hours for nonaffiliate transactions.
The proposed revised ‘‘Interagency
Bank Merger Act Application’’ form and
a redlined version highlighting the
proposed revisions from the currentlyapproved form may be reviewed by the
public at https://www.FDIC.gov/
regulations/laws/federal.
3. Title: Interagency Notice of Change
in Control.
OMB Number: 3064–0019.
Type: Revision of a currently
approved collection.
Form: Interagency Notice of Change in
Control.
Form Number: 6822/01.
Affected Public: Individuals, insured
state nonmember banks, and insured
state savings associations.
Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 25.
Estimated Time per Response: 30.5
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 763
hours.
General Description of Collection:

Jkt 244001

and sections 303.80–88 of the FDIC
Rules and Regulations (12 CFR 303.80 et
seq.) require that any person proposing
to acquire control of an insured
depository institution and certain parent
companies thereof provide 60 days prior
written notice of the proposed
acquisition to the appropriate federal
banking agency. Such written notice
which pertains to the acquisition of
control of an FDIC-supervised
institution and certain parent
companies thereof is filed with the
regional director of the FDIC region in
which the bank is located. The FDIC
reviews the information reported in the
Notice to assess, in part, any
anticompetitive and monopolistic
effects of the proposed acquisition, to
determine if the financial condition of
any acquiring person or the future
prospects of the institution might
jeopardize the financial stability of the
institution or prejudice the interests of
the depositors of the institution, and to
determine whether the competence,
experience, or integrity of any acquiring
person, or of any of the proposed
management personnel, indicates that it
would not be in the interest of the
depositors of the institution, or in the
interest of the public, to permit such
persons to control the bank. The FDIC
must also make an independent
determination of the accuracy and
completeness of all of the information
required to be filed in conjunction with
a Notice.
Proposed Revisions: The proposed
changes for the Interagency Notice of
Change in Control form include
additional requested items relating to
information that generally was
previously requested as supplemental
information subsequent to the filing of
the initial application; clarification of
exact requirements of certain requests;
deletion of certain requested items that
the FDIC no longer believes are helpful
in evaluating the Notice; and other
minor changes for improved grammar,
comprehension, and accurate citations
and mailing addresses. Because certain
applicants may need additional time to
complete the requested breakdowns of
voting and nonvoting securities, and
stock options and warrants that were
previously requested by the agencies
later in the process, and to include a
narrative description of the proposed
transaction, the FDIC estimates that the
proposed revisions would require an
additional half an hour of burden for
each respondent. Accordingly, the
estimated time per response is being
increased from 30 hours to 30.5 hours.
The proposed revised ‘‘Interagency
Notice of Change in Control’’ form and

a redlined version highlighting the
proposed revisions from the currentlyapproved form may be reviewed by the
public at https://www.FDIC.gov/
regulations/laws/federal.
4. Title: Interagency Notice of Change
in Director or Senior Executive Officer.
OMB Number: 3064–0097.
Type: Revision of a currently
approved collection.
Form: Interagency Notice of Change in
Director or Senior Executive Officer.
Form Number: 6822/02.
Affected Public: Insured state
nonmember banks and state savings
associations.
Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 325.
Estimated Time per Response: 2
hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 650
hours.
General Description of Collection:
Section 32 of the FDIA (12 U.S.C. 1831i)
requires an insured depository
institution or depository institution
holding company under certain
circumstances to notify the appropriate
federal banking agency of the proposed
addition of any individual to the board
of directors or the employment of any
individual as a senior executive officer
of such institution at least 30 days
before such addition or employment
becomes effective. Section 32 of the
FDIA also provides that the FDIC may
disapprove an individual’s service as a
director or senior executive officer of
certain state nonmember banks or state
savings associations if, upon assessing
the individual’s competence,
experience, character, and integrity, it is
determined that the individual’s service
would not be in the best interest of the
depositors of the institution or the
public. The Interagency Notice of
Change in Director or Senior Executive
Officer, with the information contained
in the Interagency Biographical and
Financial Report (described above) as an
attachment, is used by the FDIC to
collect information relevant to assess
the individual’s competence,
experience, character, and integrity.
Proposed Revisions: The proposed
changes for the Interagency Notice of
Change in Director or Senior Executive
Officer form include clarifications of
existing information requested and
exceptions to the extent they may be
relied upon by applicants; deletion of
certain formerly requested items that are
no longer needed to evaluate the notice;
and other minor changes for improved
grammar, comprehension, and accurate
citations and mailing addresses. The
FDIC believes these revisions will not
change the estimated time per response.
