Comment Request

AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

ACTION: Notice and request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

BACKGROUND: In accordance with the requirements of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 35), the FDIC may not conduct 
or sponsor, and the respondent is not required to respond to, an 
information collection that has been extended, revised, or implemented 
on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays a currently valid 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. A proposed 
renewal of the following currently approved collection of information 
is hereby published for comment. At the end of the comment period, the 
comments and recommendations received will be analyzed to determine the 
extent to which the collection should be modified prior to submission 
to OMB for review and approval. 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 estimate 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 information collection on respondents, including through 
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before June 3, 1996.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Proposal To Renew the Following Currently Approved Collection of 
Information

    Title: Activities and Investments of Savings Associations.
    Form Number: N/A.
    OMB Number: 3064-0104.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Savings associations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 45.
    Estimated Time per Response: 8.89 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 400 burden hours.
    General Description of Collection: Section 28 of the FDIC Act (12 
U.S.C. 1831e) imposes restrictions on the powers of savings 
associations which reduce the risk of loss to the insurance funds and 
eliminate some differences between the powers of state associations and 
those of federal associations. Some of the restrictions apply to all 
savings associations, some to state chartered associations only, and 
some to federally chartered associations only. The statute exempts some 
federal savings banks and associations from the restrictions, and 
provides for the FDIC to grant exemptions to other associations under 
certain circumstances. The applications for exemption constitute this 
collection of information.

Request for Comment

    Comments submitted in response to this Notice will be summarized or 
included in the FDIC's requests to OMB for renewal of this collection. 
All comments will become a matter of public record. Written comments 
should address the accuracy of the burden estimates and ways to 
minimize burden including the use of automated collection techniques or 
the use of other forms of information technology as well as other 
relevant aspects of the information collection request.

    Dated at Washington, D.C., this 28th day of March, 1996.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Jerry L. Langley,
Executive Secretary.
