    General Description of Collection: The collection involves forms 
used by the FDIC to obtain information from individual depositors and 
deposit brokers necessary to supplement the records of failed 
depository institutions to make determinations regarding deposit 
insurance coverage for depositors of failed institutions. The 
information provided allows the FDIC to identify the actual owners of 
an account and each owner's interest in the account.
    Current Action: The FDIC is proposing modifications, which may be 
considered substantive and material, to the following forms: 
Declaration for Trust, Form 7200/05, and Declaration for Testamentary 
Deposit (Multiple Grantors), Form 7200/09. In addition, the FDIC 
proposes to add to the collection the following new form: Declaration 
for Irrevocable Trust, Form 7200/18. Specifically, with respect to Form 
7200/05, the FDIC is changing the title of the form to ``Declaration 
for Revocable Trust,'' thereby eliminating use of the form for 
irrevocable trusts; deleting the request for information on ownership 
interest (by percentage or dollar amount); adding a request for 
information on beneficiary type (i.e., individual, charity, or non-
profit) and adding, for charitable or non-profit organizations, a 
request that the respondent indicate whether the charity or non-profit 
is recognized by the IRS. The FDIC believes that the changes to Form 
7200/05 do not render it any more or less burdensome than the existing 
form; therefore, the estimated time to complete the form is unchanged. 
There is, however, an estimated decrease (of 200) in the number of 
respondents because the form will no longer be used to collect 
information for irrevocable trusts. With respect to Form 7200/09, the 
FDIC is proposing to eliminate the request for information regarding 
the relationship of each beneficiary to the grantors; eliminate the 
requirement to provide a date of death for any named beneficiaries who 
are deceased; add a request for information on beneficiary

[[Page 61354]]

type (i.e., individual, charity, or non-profit) and add, for charitable 
or non-profit organization beneficiaries, a request that the respondent 
indicate whether the charity or non-profit is recognized by the IRS. 
The FDIC believes that changes to Form 7200/09 do not render it any 
more or less burdensome than the existing form; therefore, the current 
burden estimates remain unchanged. With respect to new Form 7200/18, it 
does collect information regarding irrevocable trusts that previously 
was collected on Form 7200/05. However, unlike old Form 7200/05, new 
Form 7200/18 does not request information on the ownership interest 
(percentage or dollar amount) of beneficiaries, or the date of death or 
any deceased beneficiaries, but does collect information on the 
beneficiary type (i.e., individual, charity or non-profit) and, for 
charitable or non-profit organizations, on whether the entity is 
recognized by the IRS. The estimated response time for new Form 7200/18 
is 30 minutes and the estimated number of respondents is 200.

Request for Comment

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether these collections of 
information are 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 the 
information collection 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.
