    Total Estimated Burden Hours: $117,612.48.
    General Description of Collection: Each supervised lending 
institution is required to provide a notice of special flood hazards to 
a borrower acquiring a loan secured by a building on real property 
located in an area identified by FEMA as subject to special flood 
hazards, and various other notices to borrowers, servicers and FEMA. 
The Riegle Community Development Act

[[Page 21124]]

requires that each institution also provide a copy of the notice to the 
servicer of the loan (if different from the originating lender). 
Section 100239 of the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 
requires each federal banking agency (including the FDIC), and the Farm 
Credit Administration, to adopt implementing regulations to direct 
regulated lending institutions to accept ``private flood insurance,'' 
as defined by the Biggert-Waters Act. A lending institution would be 
required to implement policies and procedures to comply with the 
Biggert-Waters Act provision and verify in writing that a private 
insurance policy satisfies the criteria included in the definition or 
document findings that separate required criteria have been met when 
accepting a private flood insurance policy in satisfaction of the 
mandatory flood insurance purchase requirement of the Flood Disaster 
Protection Act. The institution must also maintain records to permit 
examination staff to ascertain how the institution has met the 
requirements of the regulation.
    The FDIC has reviewed its previous submission related to the PRA 
and has updated its methodology to align with the Office of the 
Comptroller of the Currency's corresponding information collection 
(1557-0326). The decrease in the estimated annual burden of 409,935 
hours is the result of this change in methodology.

Request for Comment

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information 
is 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 collection, 
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 collection 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.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
