The FDIC, jointly with the Federal
Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(OCC), is proposing to revise the officer declaration requirement
that applies to the Foreign Branch Report of Condition, reduce the
information provided if the consolidation option is elected, and
add a field on the cover page for an institution to indicate
whether the branch meets the criteria for annual or quarterly
filing. These revisions would become effective for the December 31,
2015, report date.
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
