The reporting, recordkeeping, and
disclosure requirements regarding the closing of any branch of an
insured depository institution are contained in section 42 of the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act), as supplemented by an
interagency policy statement on branch closings. The Board uses the
information in the FR 4031 to fulfill its statutory obligation to
supervise state member banks (SMBs). There is no reporting form
associated with the reporting portion of this information
collection; SMBs notify their appropriate Reserve Bank by letter
prior to closing a branch.
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
