General Description of Collection:
This information collection involves the
submission of various forms by (1)
contractors who wish to do business
with the FDIC or are currently under
contract with the FDIC; (2) those
vendors and parties participating in
innovation pilot programs and prize
competitions with the possibility of
being awarded a contract; and (3)
government agencies or commercial
businesses that provide FDIC with past
performance information. There is no

change in the method or substance of
the collection. However, the FDIC has
amended this submission to account for
the burdens associated with vendors
and parties participating in innovation
pilot programs and prize competitions.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12
U.S.C. Section 1819) empowers the
FDIC to enter into contracts using
private sector contractors to provide
goods or services. The Act also provides
that the FDIC may promulgate policies
and procedures to administer the

powers granted to it, including the
power to enter into contracts. Pursuant
to such policies, the Acquisition and
Corporate Services Branch of the FDIC’s
Division of Administration has
developed forms and clauses to
facilitate the procurement of goods and
services from private sector contractors.
The information collected through these
forms and clauses fall under the
definition of collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (PRA).

During the review of the renewal of
this Acquisition Services Information
Requirements information collection,
FDIC determined that portions of the
PRA burdens that are currently under
the information collection entitled
Innovation Pilot Programs. (OMB No.
3064–0212) should be transferred to this
information collection (OMB No. 3064–
0072). OMB No. 3064–0212 involves the
collection of information from third
parties (banks and firms in partnership
with banks) who are invited to
voluntarily propose time-limited pilot
programs, which will be collected and
considered by the FDIC on a case-bycase basis. FDIC has determined that the
burdens associated with OMB No.
3064–0212 that contain the possibility
of entering into a contract with the FDIC
should be transferred to OMB No. 3064–
0072. To avoid duplication of burden
hours, OMB No. 3064–0212 will be
separately amended to only contain the
burden on IDIs and third parties that are
involved in the various projects that
third parties may engage in. FDIC
determined that OMB No. 3064–0072
should include the burden involved
with the preparation and submission of
applications to participate in FDICsponsored or co-sponsored prize
competitions if the outcome of those
prize competitions includes the
possibility of entering into a contract
with the FDIC. These burdens are
similar to the burdens currently under
the IC entitled Generic Clearance for
Prize Competition Participation (OMB
No. 3064–0211). However, OMB No.
3064–0211 contains and will continue
to contain those burdens associated
with prize competitions whose
outcomes do not include the possibility
of a entering into a contract with the
FDIC.
New Burden: Prize Competitions—
Estimated Number of Respondents,
Responses and Hourly Burdens
As described above, this ICR adds to
OMB No. 3064–0072 the burdens
involved with the preparation and
submission of applications to
participate in FDIC-sponsored or cosponsored prize competitions if the
outcomes of those prize competitions
include the possibility of entering into
a contract with the FDIC. The
information associated with this burden
are collected from potential and actual
participants (including technologists,
coders, engineers and developers;
consumers of financial services;
consumer advocates; academics;
members of trade groups and other
associations; individuals connected to
financial institutions, community banks,
and financial and bank service and

technology providers; software, data,
and technology firms; and other
members of the public) of those prize
competitions. The FDIC collects
information from respondents during
both an application phase and during a
proposal phase.
1. Application Phase: The FDIC has
never conducted a prize competition
where outcomes included the
possibility of entering into a contract
with the FDIC. FDIC anticipates that
approximately 100 applications would
be received if the FDIC were to initiate
such a prize competition. For the
purposes of this ICR, FDIC assumes that
each application is submitted by a
distinct respondent. Thus, in the above
burden table, for the line item Prize
Competition—Application, FDIC
assumes that the number of responses
per respondent is one and use a
respondent count of 100 per year.
In order for the FDIC to determine
which applicants will be eligible and
selected to participate in FDIC prize
competitions, the FDIC will request that
potential participants provide their
name, contact information, address, and
such other information that may be
necessary to evaluate applicants’
qualifications and ability to participate
in the event as well as to match the
applicants’ anticipated role to the needs
of the competition. Applicants will also
be asked to acknowledge the terms and
conditions of participating in the prize
competition. Based on their experience
with previous prize competitions, FDIC
estimates that respondents will spend,
on average, one hour to prepare and
submit an application.
2. Proposal Phase: Certain
participants in these prize competitions
may be invited to present a contract
proposal to be considered by the FDIC.
Should such a prize competition occur,
FDIC assumes that it would receive five
contract proposals per year. For the
purposes of this ICR, FDIC assumes that
each proposal is submitted by a distinct
respondent. Thus, for the line item Prize
Competition—Proposal, FDIC assumes
that the number of responses per
respondent is one and use a respondent
count of five per year.
Based on experience with previous
prize competitions, FDIC expects that
respondents will spend, on average, 60
hours to prepare and submit a proposal.
Thus, for the line item Prize
Competition—Proposal, FDIC estimates
a time burden of 60 hours per response.

Transferred Burden From OMB No.
3064–0212: Innovation Pilot Program—
Estimated Number of Respondents,
Responses and Hourly Burdens
As described above, this ICR transfers
the burdens that contain the possibility
of entering into a contract with the FDIC
from OMB No. 3064–0212 to OMB No.
3064–0072. The information associated
with this burden are collected from
innovators who are invited to
voluntarily propose time-limited pilot
programs. The program is typically
conducted in four phases, with a
declining number of companies
advancing at each phase. The FDIC
provides fixed monetary awards for the
successful completion of some of these
phases. In order to evaluate potential
contractors, the FDIC collects
information from respondents twice:
During an application phase and during
a proposal phase.
1. Application Phase: The FDIC issues
a call for concept papers as a general
solicitation. Interested parties respond
by submitting concept papers, thus
becoming offerors. The FDIC then
subjectively assesses those papers to
determine its confidence in the
prospective merits of those concept
papers as well as the FDIC’s confidence
in the offeror’s apparent ability to
transform concepts into real-world
solutions. FDIC used its experience with
the first Innovation Pilot Program 1 to
estimate that 50 concept papers are
submitted to the FDIC in response to a
call. Although one company could
submit multiple concept papers to one
call, or different concept papers to
different calls, the FDIC considers a
concept paper submission for each call
to be from a distinct respondent. The
FDIC anticipates issuing three calls per
year. Thus, for purposes of this
information collection item, FDIC
estimates 150 respondents per year and
one response per respondent per year.
FDIC believes that the hourly burden for
preparing concept papers to be similar
to that of RFPs. However, the
applications for pilot programs are
usually more extensive than the average
RFP. Based on the hourly burden
estimated for RFPs, FDIC estimates that
each application will take 20 hours to
1 The first Innovation Pilot Program, Rapid
Phased Prototyping (RPP), began in August 2020.
Details for RPP can be found at https://
www.fdic.gov/fditech/rpp.html (last accessed
September 30, 2021). The proposal submission
phase for RPP is expected to finish in 2021. The
FDIC received 35 applications for RPP; FDIC
conservatively estimates 50 responses per pilot
program to account for the fact that future
collections could receive increased interest. The
FDIC also anticipates holding up to three pilots a
year, for a total of 150 estimated applications per
year.
E:\FR\FM\19JAN1.SGM
19JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 12 / Wednesday, January 19, 2022 / Notices
prepare and submit. Thus, for the line
item Innovation Pilot Program—
Application, FDIC estimates a time
burden of 20 hours per response.
2. Proposal Phase: During a pilot
program, all contractors who are
participating will provide an initial
summary of the terms and conditions
(including price, deliverables,
intellectual property rights, and so
forth) it contemplates proposing for a
follow-on pilot. The FDIC may provide
feedback to the contractor and
contractors may resubmit their proposal
one or more times based on feedback
received. Based on their experience
with rapid Phase Prototyping (RPP),
FDIC estimates that approximately 60
percent of applications received in
response to calls for concept papers, or
90 applications per year,2 will be
invited to submit contract proposal. As
above, the FDIC assumes each response
to be from a distinct respondent. Thus,
for the line item Innovation Pilot
Program—Proposal, FDIC estimates 90
respondents per year and one response
per respondent per year. FDIC believes
that, given the iterative nature of the
RPP process, it is likely that contractors
will go through multiple iterations of
contract proposals. FDIC assumes that
each respondent will have to revise
their submission twice, on average. In
addition, these contract proposals
include pricing, terms, and conditions,
which will require more time than the
concept papers. Given these differences,
FDIC estimates that each response to an
Innovation Pilot Program—Proposal will
take 60 hours to prepare and submit.
