Source: FDIC.
General Description of Collection: The collection implements
recordkeeping requirements associated with the Bank Protection Act. 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 non-member 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 9,670-hour
decrease in burden is the result of the elimination of acquiring
institutions as respondents, revisions to estimates of the time per
response, as well as a decline in the number of FDIC-supervised
institutions.
2. Title: Ombudsman Post-Examination Surveys.
OMB Number: 3064-0218.
Form Number: 6600/58; 6600/59.
Affected Public: FDIC-supervised insured depository institutions.
Burden Estimate:

Source: FDIC.
General Description of Collection: The purpose of the surveys is to
gauge bankers' views on the effectiveness and quality of FDIC Safety
and Soundness and Consumer Compliance examinations, as well as to
identify ways to improve the examination process. Respondents are asked
to voluntarily rate the efficiency of the preexamination process;
examiners' professionalism and understanding of the laws and
regulations; the examination process; and examination report quality.
Respondents will also be allowed to provide feedback on any areas for
improvement and will be given an option to have someone from the FDIC
Office of the Ombudsman contact the institution confidentially about
its recent examination or any other matters. There is no change in the
method or substance of the collection. The 251-hour decrease in burden
is the result of the reduction in the estimated annual number of
respondents.
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.
