of the Commission’s rules to ensure
plans are updated annually, require a
certification by the SECC Chairperson or
Vice-Chairperson that the SECC met (in
person, via teleconference, or via other
methods of conducting virtual meetings)
at least once in the twelve months prior
to submitting the annual updated plan,
and require that the Bureau approve or
reject State EAS Plans submitted for
approval within 60 days of receipt; and
(iii) require the Bureau to list the
approval dates of State EAS Plans
submitted on ARS on the Commission’s
website, and in the event a final
decision is made to deny a plan, directly
notify the chief executive of the State to
which the plan applies of that
determination and the reasons for such
denial within 30 days of such decision.
The Order also amends section 11.45 of
the Part 11 rules to enable voluntary
reporting to the Commission by the
FEMA Administrator and Tribal, State,
local or territorial governments of false
EAS alerts.
The Commission seeks OMB approval
of these rule amendments as an
extension of a previously approved
information collection. Congress has
determined that EAS rule changes are
necessary to increase oversight over the
distribution of State and local EAS
alerts within States, and increase false
alert reporting capabilities to help
ameliorate confusion or other harmful
effects that might result from false EAS
alerts. The internal State EAS Plan
processing requirements and rule
changes adopted in the Order will
improve State EAS Plan processing and
administration, improving the
capabilities and efficacy of EAS as a
national system for distributing vital
alert information to all Americans, and
will do so in a cost-effective manner.
The following information collections
contained in Part 11 may be impacted
by the rule amendments described
herein.
State EAS Plans (47 CFR 11.21)
The establishment of a State EAS Plan
Content Checklist for SECCs should
have no impact or lessen SECC burdens,
and posting it on the FCC’s website, and
incorporating it as an appendix in the
ARS user manual, are routine Bureau
activities. The requirement to ensure
State EAS Plans are updated annually
already was contained in section 11.21,
and thus does not represent a new
burden.
The amendment to include as a
required element in the State EAS Plan,
a certification (which will be
incorporated into the ARS) by the SECC
Chairperson or Vice-Chairperson that
the SECC met (in person, via

teleconference, or via other methods of
conducting virtual meetings) at least
once in the twelve months prior to
submitting the annual updated plan to
review and update their State EAS Plan
should promote added diligence in
SECC administration of State EAS Plans.
The Commission estimates the burden
to SECC members in complying with
this requirement to be two hours per
member.
The rule amendment requiring the
Bureau approve or reject State EAS
Plans submitted for approval within 60
days of receipt does not impose new
burdens on any entity. The Bureau
already is charged with reviewing State
EAS Plans. The internal requirement
that the Bureau list the approval dates
of State EAS Plans submitted on ARS on
the Commission’s website, and in the
event a final decision is made to deny
a plan, directly notify the chief
executive of the State to which the plan
applies of that determination and the
reasons for such denial within 30 days,
does not impose new burdens on any
entity. The Bureau already maintains a
web page on the Commission’s website
dedicated to SECC and State EAS Plan
information.
False EAS Alert Reporting (47 CFR
11.45)
The amendment enabling the FEMA
Administrator and Tribal, State, local or
territorial governments to file reports of
false EAS alerts provides another
mechanism for the Commission to
receive information concerning false
EAS alerts, does not impose burdens on
any entity. Should any permitted
government entity voluntarily elect to
file a false EAS alert report, the burden
associated with this provision amounts
to composing an email, which the
Commission estimates will take an hour
or less to prepare, and falls within the
routine activities of government
employees. False alert reports help the
Commission to identify, investigate,
correct and prevent false EAS
activations, which enhances the EAS’s
efficacy and the public trust in the EAS.

General Description of Collection:
This information collection arises from
the reporting requirements contained in
12 CFR part 336, subpart B, of the FDIC
Rules and Regulations entitled
‘‘Minimum Standards of Fitness for
Employment with the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation.’’ This rule
implements section 19 of the Resolution
Trust Corporation Completion Act,
Public Law 103–204, by (among other
things) prescribing a certification, with
attachments in some cases, relating to
job applicants’ fitness and integrity.
More specifically, the statute provides
that the FDIC shall issue regulations
implementing provisions that prohibit

Form 2120/16. There is no change in the
methodology or substance of this
information collection. The increase in
total estimated annual burden from 88
hours in 2022 to 144 hours currently is
due to an increase in the estimated
number of respondents.
2. Title: Purchaser Eligibility
Certification.
OMB Number: 3064–0135.
Form Number: 7300/06.
Affected Public: Individuals and
entities wishing to purchase
receivership assets from the FDIC.
Burden Estimate:

any person from becoming employed by
the FDIC who has been convicted of any
felony; has been removed from, or
prohibited from participating in the
affairs of, any insured depository
institution pursuant to any final
enforcement action by any appropriate
Federal banking agency; has
demonstrated a pattern or practice of
defalcation regarding obligations to
insured depository institutions; or has
caused a substantial loss to Federal
deposit insurance funds. This collection
of information implements these
mandatory bars to employment through
a certification, signed by job applicants
prior to an offer of employment using

General Description of Collection: The
FDIC is statutorily prohibited from
selling assets held by insured depository
institutions that have been placed under
the conservatorship or receivership of
the FDIC to individuals or entities that
profited or engaged in wrongdoing at
the expense of those failed institutions,
or seriously mismanaged those failed
institutions. This statutory prohibition
is implemented by regulation. The FDIC
uses Form No. 7300–06: Purchaser
Eligibility Certification (PEC) to
determine an entity or person’s
eligibility to purchase assets. This
information collection (IC) pertains to
the voluntary submission of the PEC by
persons seeking to certify their
eligibility to be able to purchase
receivership assets. Potential
respondents to this IC include any
entity or individual that wishes to bid
on or purchase assets held by insured
depository institutions that have been

placed under the conservatorship or
receivership of the FDIC. There is no
change in the substance of this IC. The
decrease in total estimated annual
burden from 190 hours in 2022 to 70
hours currently is due a decrease in the
estimated number of annual
respondents for cash sales, ORE sales,
and securities sales as compared to the
2022 IC, reflecting the decrease in
forecasted sales. This decrease is
attenuated by the inclusion of joint
venture transactions in the calculation
of the estimated number of respondents,
which were not included in the 2022 IC.
Request for Comment
Comments are invited on (a) whether
the collections of information are
necessary for the proper performance of
the FDIC’s functions, including whether
the information has practical utility; (b)
the accuracy of the estimates of the
burden of the information collections,
including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collections of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. All comments will become
a matter of public record.
