General Description of Collection: The
Government Securities Act of 1986
requires all financial institutions acting
as government securities brokers and
dealers to notify their Federal regulatory
agencies of their broker-dealer activities,
unless exempted from the notice
requirements by Treasury Department
regulation.
The Form G–FIN and Form G–FINW
are used by insured State nonmember
banks that are government securities
brokers or dealers to notify the FDIC of
their status or that they have ceased to
function as a government securities
broker or dealer.
The Form G–FIN–4 is used by
associated persons of insured State
nonmember banks that are government
securities brokers or dealers to provide
certain information to the bank and to
the FDIC concerning employment,
residence, and statutory
disqualification.
The Form G–FIN–5 is used by insured
State nonmember banks that are
government securities brokers or dealers
to notify the FDIC that an associated
person is no longer associated with the
government securities broker or dealer
function of the bank.
There is no change in the method or
substance of the collection. The overall
reduction in burden hours (from 17
hours to 13.25 hours) is the result of
economic fluctuation. In particular, the
number of respondents has decreased
from 17 to 8 while the hours per
response and frequency of responses
have remained the same.

General Description of Collection: The
collection requires insured state
nonmember banks to comply with the
Bank Protection Act and to review bank
security programs The Bank Protection
Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1881–1884)
requires each Federal supervisory
agency to promulgate rules establishing
minimum standards for security devices
and procedures to discourage financial
crime and to assist in the identification
of persons who commit such crimes. To
avoid the necessity of constantly
updating a technology-based regulation,
the FDIC takes a flexible approach to
implementing this statute. It requires
each insured nonmember bank to
designate a security officer who will
administer a written security program.
The security program must: (1) Establish
procedures for opening and closing for
business and for safekeeping valuables;
(2) establish procedures that will assist
in identifying persons committing
crimes against the bank; (3) provide for
initial and periodic training of
employees in their responsibilities
under the security program; and (4)
provide for selecting, testing, operating
and maintaining security devices as
prescribed in the regulation. In addition,
the FDIC requires the security officer to
report at least annually to the bank’s
board of directors on the effectiveness of
the security program.
There is no change in the method or
substance of the collection. The FDIC
estimates that the number of
respondents will decrease due to
economic fluctuations from 3,629 to
3,533. The annual burden for this
information collection is estimated to be
1,766.5 hours. This represents a

decrease of 48.5 hours from the current
burden estimate of 1,815 hours.
