    General Description of Collection: Section 1828(o) of the Federal 
Deposit Insurance Act requires each federal banking agency to adopt 
uniform regulations prescribing real estate lending standards. Part 365 
of the FDIC

[[Page 17223]]

Rules and Regulations, which implements section 1828(o), requires 
institutions to have real estate lending policies that include (a) 
limits and standards consistent with safe and sound banking practices; 
(b) prudent underwriting standards, including loan-to-value ratio (LTV) 
limits that are clear and measurable; (c) loan administration policies; 
(d) documentation, approval and reporting requirements; and (e) a 
requirement for annual review and approval by the board of directors. 
The rule also establishes supervisory LTV limits and other underwriting 
considerations in the form of guidelines. Since banks generally have 
written policies on real estate lending, the additional burden imposed 
by this regulation is limited to modifications to existing policies 
necessary to bring those policies into compliance with the regulation 
and the development of a system to report loans in excess of the 
guidelines to the board of directors. There is no change in the 
substance or methodology of this information collection. The change in 
burden is due to a decrease in the number of respondents.
    3. Title: Foreign Banking and Investment by Insured State Nonmember 
Banks.
    OMB Number: 3064-0125.
    Forms: None.

    General Description of Collection: The Federal Deposit Insurance 
(FDI) Act requires state nonmember banks to obtain FDIC consent to 
establish or operate a foreign branch, or to acquire and hold, directly 
or indirectly, stock or other evidence of ownership in any foreign bank 
or other entity. The FDI Act also authorizes the FDIC to impose 
conditions for such consent and to issue regulations related thereto. 
This collection is a direct consequence of those statutory 
requirements. There is no change in the substance or methodology of 
this information collection. The change in burden is due to a decline 
in the number of FDIC-supervised institutions that operate foreign 
branches and one fewer estimated respondent to IC 6.
    4. Title: Treatment by the FDIC as Conservator or Receiver of 
Financial Assets Transferred by an Insured Depository Institution in 
Connection With a Securitization or Participation after September 30, 
2010.

    General Description of Collection: Section 360.6 of the FDIC's 
regulations sets forth certain conditions that must be satisfied for a 
securitization transaction sponsored by an insured depository 
institution to be eligible for special treatment in the event that the 
FDIC is appointed receiver for the sponsor. Among other conditions, the 
securitization documents must require compliance with certain 
disclosure requirements (including the requirements of Regulation AB of 
the Securities and Exchange Commission). Conditions of eligibility for 
special treatment for participations in financial assets under Sec.  
360.6 are also set forth. Based upon a closer review of the Rule, the 
FDIC has re-categorized the information collection requirements in 12 
CFR 360.6 into five distinct information collections (ICs) covering: 
(1) periodic disclosures of credit performance or changes to initial 
compensation arrangements under 12 CFR 360.6(b)(2)(i)(C) and (D); (2) 
disclosures of initial compensation arrangements and securitization 
structure under 12 CFR 360.6(b)(2)(i)(B) and (D); (3) sponsors' 
disclosures of loan-level information and third-party due diligence 
reports for RMBSs under 12 CFR 360.6(b)(2)(ii)(A) and (B); (4) 
servicers' disclosures of servicer or affiliate ownership interests for 
securitizations in which the assets include residential mortgage loans 
under 12 CFR 360.6(b)(2)(ii)(C); and (5) a recordkeeping requirement 
that the closing documents of a securitization be maintained in a 
readily accessible form under 12 CFR 360.6(c)(7). The burden associated 
with these five categories are enumerated in the estimated burden table 
which now identifies the regulatory authorities for each IC.
    While there is no change in the substance of the information 
collection, the ICR is being revised to reflect the re-categorization 
of the PRA requirements in 12 CFR 360.6 into five distinct ICs. The 
additional IC was added to this ICR to recognize the periodic credit 
performance disclosure requirement.

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.
