    General Description of Collection: The information collected 
enables the FDIC to ensure that all individuals, businesses, and firms 
seeking to provide legal support services to the FDIC meet the 
eligibility requirements established by Congress. The information is 
also used to manage and monitor payments to contractors, document 
contract amendments, expiration dates, and billable individuals and to 
ensure that law firms, experts, and other legal support services 
providers comply with statutory and regulatory requirements. This 
collection consists of 18 forms. The increase of 209 hours from 64 
hours in 2023 to the current estimate of 273 hours is due to an 
increase in the estimated number of annual respondents resulting from 
the revised methodology, with the remainder of the difference resulting 
from the re-estimation of the time per response.

    General Description of Collection: When a bank fails, the FDIC must 
provide depositors' insured funds ``as soon as possible'' after failure 
while also resolving the failed bank in the least costly manner. The 
requirements of 12 CFR part 370 facilitate prompt payment of FDIC 
insured deposits when large insured depository institutions fail. The 
rule requires insured depository institutions that have two million or 
more deposit accounts (covered institutions) to maintain complete and 
accurate data on each depositor's ownership interest by right and 
capacity for all of the covered institution's deposit accounts. The 
covered institutions are required to develop the capability to 
calculate the insured and uninsured amounts for each deposit owner, by 
ownership right and capacity, for all deposit accounts. This data would 
be used by the FDIC to make timely deposit insurance determinations in 
the event of a covered insured depository institution's failure. There 
is no change in the method or substance of the collection. The decrease 
of 42,483 hours from 52,652 hours in 2023 to the current estimate of 
10,169 hours is due to the elimination of the implementation burden for 
the Highest Complexity covered insured depository institutions and the 
reduction in the times per response.

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.
