    General Description of Collection: This information collection 
involves the submission of various forms by (1) contractors who wish to 
do business with the FDIC or are currently under contract with the 
FDIC, (2) those vendors and parties participating in innovation pilot 
programs and prize competitions with the possibility of being awarded a 
contract, and (3) government agencies or commercial businesses that 
provide FDIC with past performance information. The Federal Deposit 
Insurance Act (the Act) (12 U.S.C. 1819) empowers the FDIC to enter 
into contracts using private sector contractors to provide goods or 
services. The Act also provides that the FDIC may promulgate policies 
and procedures to administer the powers granted to it, including the 
power to enter into contracts. Pursuant to such policies, the 
Acquisition and Corporate Services Branch of the FDIC's Division of 
Administration has developed forms and clauses to facilitate the 
procurement of goods and services from private sector contractors. The 
information collected through these forms and clauses falls under the 
definition of collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (PRA). There is no change in the methodology or substance 
of this information collection. The decrease in total estimated annual 
burden from 21,234 hours in 2022 to 13,326 hours currently is due to 
the deletion of the former IC associated with Form 1600/10.

    General Description of Collection: The Government Securities Act of 
1986 requires all financial institutions acting as government 
securities brokers and dealers to notify their Federal regulatory 
agencies of their broker dealer activities, unless exempted from the 
notice requirements by Treasury Department regulation. The Form G-FIN 
and Form G-FINW are used by insured State nonmember banks that are 
government securities brokers or dealers to notify the FDIC of their 
status or that they have ceased to function as a government securities 
broker or dealer. The Form G-FIN-4 is used by associated persons of 
insured State nonmember banks that are government securities brokers or 
dealers to provide certain information to the bank and to the FDIC 
concerning employment, residence, and statutory disqualification. The 
Form G-FIN-5 is used by insured State nonmember banks that are 
government securities brokers or dealers to notify the FDIC that an 
associated person is no longer associated with the government 
securities broker or dealer function of the bank. There is no change in 
the method or substance of the collection. The overall decrease in 
burden hours is driven both by the decrease in the estimated annual 
number of responses and the changes to the estimated time per response.
    3. Title: Activities and Investments of Insured Depository 
Institutions.
    OMB Number: 3064-0111.
    Form Number: None.

    General Description of Collection: Section 24 of the Federal 
Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act), 12 U.S.C. 1831a, limits investments 
and other activities in which State banks may engage, as principal, to 
those permissible for national banks and those approved by the FDIC 
under procedures set forth in 12 CFR part 362 of the FDIC's Rules and 
Regulations. With certain exceptions, section 24 of the FDI Act limits 
the activities and investments of State banks to those activities and 
investments that are permissible for national banks. In addition, the 
statute prohibits a State bank from directly engaging, as a principal, 
in any activity or investment that is not permissible for a national 
bank, or indirectly through a subsidiary in an activity or investment 
that is not permissible for a subsidiary of a national bank, unless 
such bank meets its minimum capital requirements and the FDIC 
determines that the activity or investment does not pose a significant 
risk to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF). The FDIC can make such a 
determination for exception by regulation or by order. Section 28(a), 
12 U.S.C. 1831e, similarly limits the investments and activities of 
State savings associations and their service corporations to those 
permitted by Federal savings associations and their service 
corporations, absent FDIC approval. Part 362 details the activities 
that State banks or their subsidiaries may engage in, under certain 
criteria and conditions, and identifies the information that State 
banks must furnish to the FDIC in order to obtain the FDIC's approval 
or non-objection. Part 362 also applies to the activities and 
investments of State savings associations and their subsidiaries. There 
is no change in the method or substance of the collection. The increase 
in burden hours from 232 hours in 2022 to 280 hours currently is the 
result of economic fluctuation. In particular, the number of 
respondents and the number of responses per respondent has increased.

    General Description of Collection: The elements of this collection 
are required under sections 503 and 504 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, 
15 U.S.C. 6803, 6804. The collection mandates notice requirements and 
restrictions on a financial institution's ability to disclose nonpublic 
personal information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. 
There is no change in the method or substance of the collection. The 
overall decrease in burden hours is the result of economic fluctuation, 
in particular, the determination that regulation P has de minimis 
burden on consumers to opt out.

    General Description of Collection: This information collection 
implements the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act 
of 2008 (SAFE Act) requirement that employees of federally-regulated 
institutions who engage in the business of a mortgage loan originator 
register with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry and 
establishes national licensing and registration requirements. It also 
directs federally-regulated institutions to have written policies and 
procedures in place to ensure that their employees who perform mortgage 
loan originations comply with the registration and other SAFE Act 
requirements. There is no change in the method or substance of the 
collection. The overall decrease in burden hours is the result of 
decreases in both the estimated number of FDIC-supervised institutions 
engaged in mortgage lending as well as the estimated number of mortgage 
loan originators employed at such institutions.

    Comments are invited on (a) whether the collections of information 
are necessary for the proper performance of the FDIC's functions,
