    General Description of Collection: The Federal Deposit Insurance 
Act requires financial institutions to apply to the FDIC to obtain 
deposit insurance. This collection provides the FDIC with the 
information needed to evaluate the applications. There is no change in 
the method or substance of the collection. The increase in burden hours 
is the result of economic fluctuation. In particular, the number of 
respondents has increased while the hours per response and frequency of 
responses have remained the same.

    OMB Number: 3064-0189.
    Form Number: None.
    Affected Public: Insured State nonmember banks and State savings

    Total Annual Burden (hours).......................................................................     6,500

Source: FDIC.

    General Description of Collection: The FDIC has issued a rule 
requiring periodic stress testing by FDIC-supervised institutions 
having more than $250 billion in total assets, consistent with changes 
made by section 401 of the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and 
Consumer Protection Act (EGRRCPA). Section 165(i)(2) of the Dodd-Frank 
Act requires each primary Federal regulator to issue consistent and 
comparable regulations to (1) ensure that certain financial companies 
conduct stress tests; (2) establish the form and content of the 
required reports of such stress tests, and (3) require companies to 
publish a summary of the stress test results. As originally enacted, 
section 165(i)(2)(C) applied to all IDIs with average total 
consolidated assets of $10 billion or greater, required such IDIs to 
conduct annual stress tests, and required the use of three scenarios: 
baseline, adverse, and severely adverse. Consistent with the 
requirements of section 165(i)(2)(C), as originally enacted, the FDIC 
published its final rule implementing section 165(i)(2) on October 15, 
2012. The requirements under 12 CFR part 325 applied to FDIC-supervised 
IDIs with average total consolidated assets of $10 billion or greater. 
The EGRRCPA, enacted on May 24, 2018, amended certain aspects of the 
company-run stress-testing requirements in section 165(i)(2) of the 
Dodd-Frank Act. The EGRRCPA amendments to the section 165(i)(2) stress 
testing requirements became effective eighteen months after enactment.
    The aspects of 12 CFR part 325 that constitute an information 
collection are those that require a banking organization to (1) file 
stress test reports to be filed periodically with the FDIC and the 
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Board) in the 
time, manner, and form specified by the FDIC (12 CFR 325.6); (2) 
establish and maintain a system of controls, oversight, and 
documentation, including policies and procedures that describe the 
covered bank's stress test practices and methodologies, as well as 
processes for updating such bank's stress test practices, as well as 
specific calculations that must be made by the banking organization 
during its stress tests (12 CFR 325.5); and (3) publish a summary of 
the results of its stress tests (12 CFR 325.7).
    On May 17, 2012, the FDIC, the Office of the Comptroller of the 
Currency, and the Board published the 2012 Interagency Guidance on the 
use of stress testing as a means to better understand the range of a 
banking organization's potential risk exposures. The guidance is 
intended for IDIs with total consolidated assets of more than $10 
billion and provides an overview of how a banking organization should 
structure its stress testing activities to ensure they fit into the 
banking organization's overall risk management program. The purpose of 
the guidance is to outline broad principles for a satisfactory stress 
testing framework and describe the manner in which stress testing 
should be used, that is as an integral component of risk management 
applicable at various levels of aggregation within a banking 
organization as well as a tool for capital and liquidity planning. The 
2012 Interagency Guidance recommends that IDIs stress test in 
coordination with their ``overall strategy and annual planning cycles'' 
and assess and review their stress testing frameworks at least once a 
year to ensure that stress testing coverage is comprehensive, tests are 
relevant and current, methodologies are sound, and results are properly 
considered.
    The aspects of the 2012 Interagency Guidance that constitute an 
information collection are the provisions that state a banking 
organization should (1) have a stress testing framework that includes 
clearly defined objectives, well designed scenarios tailored to the 
banking organization's business and risks, well documented assumptions, 
conceptually sound methodologies to assess potential impact on the 
banking organization's financial condition (section II); (2) maintain 
an internal summary of test results to document at a high level the 
range of its stress testing activities and outcomes, as well as 
proposed follow-up actions (section III); and (3) have policies and 
procedures for a stress testing framework (section VI). There has been 
no change in the substance or methodology of this information 
collection. The 774 hour increase in total estimated annual burden from 
5,726 hours in 2023 to 6,500 hours currently is due to the doubling of 
annual responses to ICs 1-3 and the increased number of respondents to 
IC 6 and is attenuated by the decreased number of respondents to ICs 4 
and 5.

Request for Comment

    Comments are invited on (a) whether the collections of information 
are 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 collections, 
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 collections 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.
