General Description of Collection: The 1975 Amendments to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 established a comprehensive framework
for the regulation of the activities of municipal securities dealers.
Under Section 15B(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, municipal
securities dealers which are banks, or separately identifiable
departments or divisions of banks engaging in municipal securities
activities, are required to be registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission in accordance with such rules as the Municipal
Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB), a rulemaking authority established
by the 1975 Amendments, may prescribe as necessary or appropriate in
the public interest or for the protection of investors. One of the
areas in which the Act directed the MSRB to promulgate rules is the
qualifications of persons associated with municipal securities dealers
as municipal securities principals and municipal securities
representatives. The MSRB Rules require persons who are or seek to be
associated with municipal securities dealers as municipal securities
principals or municipal securities representatives to provide certain
background information and conversely, require the municipal securities
dealers to obtain the information from such persons. Generally, the
information required to be furnished relates to employment history and
professional background including any disciplinary sanctions and any
claimed bases for exemption from MSRB examination requirements. The
FDIC and the other two Federal bank regulatory agencies, the
Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Reserve Board, have
prescribed Forms MSD-4 to satisfy these requirements and have
prescribed Form MSD-5 for notification by a bank municipal securities
dealer that a municipal securities principal's or a municipal
securities representative's association with the dealer has terminated
and the reason for such termination. State nonmember banks and state
savings associations that are municipal security dealers submit these
forms, as applicable, to the FDIC as their appropriate regulatory
agency for each person associated with the dealer as a municipal
securities principal or municipal securities representative. There is
no change in the methodology or substance of this information
collection. This reduction in estimated annual burden (from 4 hours in
2021 to 2 hours currently) is due to the decrease in the estimated
number of respondents.

associations.

General Description of Collection: The Interagency Guidance on
Asset Securitization Activities informs bankers and examiners of safe
and sound practices regarding asset Securitization. The information
collections contained in the Interagency Guidance are needed by
institutions to manage their asset Securitization activities in a safe
and sound manner. Bank management uses this information as the basis
for the safe and sound operation of their asset securitization
activities and to ensure that they minimize operational risk in these
activities. There is no change in the method or substance of the
information collection. The 94-hour increase in estimated annual burden
(from 263 hours in 2021 to 357 hours currently) is the result of
economic fluctuation. In particular, the number of respondents has
increased while the reporting frequency and the estimated time per
response remain the same.
3. Title: Interagency Statement on Sound Practices Concerning
Complex Structured Finance Transactions,
OMB Number: 3064-0148,
Affected Public: Insured state nonmember banks and state savings
associations.

General Description of Collection: The Interagency Statement on
Sound Practices Concerning Complex Structured Finance Transactions
describes the types of internal controls and risk management procedures
that the Agencies believe are particularly effective in assisting
financial institutions to identify, evaluate, assess, document, and
control the full range of credit, market, operational, legal and
reputation al risks. A financial institution that engages in complex
structured finance transactions should maintain a set of formal,
written, firm-wide policies and procedures that are designed to allow
the institution to identify and assess these risks. There is no change
in the methodology or substance of this information collection. The
estimated annual burden is unchanged.
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.
