SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposal to renew the following currently

    1. Title: Application Pursuant to section 19 of the Federal Deposit 
Insurance Act.
    OMB Number: 3064-0018.
    Form Number: FDIC 6710/07.

    Affected Public: Insured depository institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 22.
    Estimated Time per Response: 16 hours.
    Total Annual Burden: 352 hours.
    General Description of Collection: Section 19 of the Federal 
Deposit Insurance Act (FDI), 12 U.S.C. 1829, requires the FDIC's 
consent prior to any participation in the affairs of an insured 
depository institution by a person who has been convicted of crimes 
involving dishonesty or breach of trust. To obtain that consent, an 
insured depository institution must submit an application to the FDIC 
for approval on Form FDIC 6710/07.
    2. Title: Procedures for Monitoring Bank Protection Act Compliance.
    OMB Number: 3064-0095.

    Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,110.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 hours.
    Total Annual Burden: 2,555 hours.
    General Description of Collection: The Bank Protection Act of 1968 
(12 U.S.C. 1881-1884) requires each Federal supervisory agency to 
promulgate rules establishing minimum standards for security devices 
and procedures to discourage financial crime and to assist in the 
identification of persons who commit such crimes. To avoid the 
necessity of constantly updating a technology-based regulation, the 
FDIC takes a flexible approach to implementing this statute. It 
requires each insured nonmember bank to designate a security officer 
who will administer a written security program. The security program 
shall: (1) Establish procedures for opening and closing for business 
and for safekeeping valuables; (2) establish procedures that will 
assist in identifying persons committing crimes against the bank; (3) 
provide for initial and periodic training of employees in their 
responsibilities under the security program; and (4) provide for 
selecting, testing, operating and maintaining security devices as 
prescribed in the regulation. In addition, the FDIC requires the 
security officer to

report at least annually to the bank's board of directors on the 
effectiveness of the security program.

    Form Numbers: None.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Insured state nonmember banks.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: Initial notice, 208; annual notice

    Estimated Number of Responses: 328,600.
    Total Annual Burden: 64,728 hours.
    General Description of Collection: The elements of this collection 
are required under section 504 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Public 
Law l06-102. The collection mandates notice requirements and 
restrictions on a financial institution's ability to disclose nonpublic 
personal information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties.
