SUMMARY: In accordance with requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35), the FDIC hereby gives notice that it 
plans to submit to the Office of Management and Budget a request for 
OMB review and approval of the information collection system described 
below.
    Type of Review: Revision of currently approved collection.

    Form Number: None.
    OMB Number: 3064-0113.
    Annual Burden: Number of Respondents: 420. Number of Responses per 
Respondent: 3. Total Annual Responses: 1,260. Hours per Response: 32. 
Total Annual Burden Hours: 40,320.

    Comments: Comments on this collection of information are welcome 
and should be submitted on or before October 31, 1997 to both the OMB 
reviewer and the FDIC contact listed above.

ADDRESSES: Information about this submission, including copies of the 
proposed collection of information, may be obtained by calling or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 36 of the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Act (12 U.S.C. 1831m) (``FDI Act'') imposes auditing and reporting 
requirements on insured depository institutions which are implemented 
by the FDIC's 12 CFR part 363. Pursuant to part 363, an insured 
depository institution which has total assets of $500 million or more: 
files an annual report including audited financial statements, 
management's statement of its responsibilities and assessment of its 
internal control structure and its compliance with designated safety 
and soundness laws and regulations, and an auditor's attestation 
regarding management's assessments; and, notifies the FDIC when it 
selects or changes its independent public accountant. The FDIC proposes 
to revise the collection by deleting Schedule A ``Agreed Upon 
Procedures for Determining Compliance with Designated Laws,'' from 
Appendix A of part 363. This revision will conform the collection to 
the deletion of Section 36(e) of the FDI Act by Section 2301 of the 
Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 
(EGRPRA).

    Dated: September 25, 1997.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Robert E. Feldman,
Executive Secretary.
