    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 48,683 increase in burden hours is the result of the agency re-
evaluating the time it takes for recordkeeping and reporting associated 
with the rule, and including new implementation burdens for new 
entities and entities reviewing their policies in light of mergers and 
other organizational changes.
    2. Title: Mutual-to-Stock Conversion of State Savings Banks.
