    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Depositors of failed insured institutions who own 
or have an interest in a testamentary deposit account, a trust account, 
a defined benefit plan, or other retirement account will be required to 
complete one or more forms.
    Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 5025.
    Estimated Time per Response: The time per response will range from 
one-half hour to one hour depending on the form required.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2739 hours.
    General Description of Collection: When a bank is closed by the 
primary regulatory authority, the FDIC has the responsibility to pay 
the insured claims of the failed bank depositors. When determining 
insured and uninsured amounts it is often necessary to obtain 
information from the depositors to ensure adherence to the FDIC's 
Deposit Insurance Rules and Regulations. The proposed collection will 
place 15 forms on the FDIC's Web site that will expedite depositors' 
making insurance claims.

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 information 
collection on respondents, including through the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
    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 submitted in response to this notice also 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.

    Dated at Washington, DC, this 4th day of May, 2004.

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