    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, 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. In addition to the 
burden adjustments described above, the FDIC is revising certain forms 
within this collection to comply with a recent Executive Order. These 
revisions modify select form language, but do not alter the overall 
purpose of the collection.

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.
