SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FDIC is proposing to renew, without

    Title: Interagency Guidance on Asset Securitization Activities.
    OMB Number: 3064-0137.
    Form Number: None.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Affected Public: Insured state nonmember banks involved in asset 
securitization activities.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 20.
    Estimated Time per Response: 7.45 hours.
    Total Annual Burden: 149 hours.
    General Description of Collection: The collection applies to 
institutions engaged in asset securitization and consists of a written 
asset securitization policy, the documentation of fair value of 
retained interests, and a management information system to monitor 
securitization activities. Bank management uses this information as the 
basis for the safe and sound operation of their asset securitization 
activities and to ensure that they minimize operational risk in these 
activities. The FDIC uses the information to evaluate the quality of a 
bank's risk management practices. The FDIC also uses the information to 
assist banks lacking proper internal supervision of their asset 
securitization activities with the implementation of corrective action 
to ensure that the activities are conducted in a safe and sound manner.

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 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 request to OMB for renewal of this 
collection. All comments will become a matter of public record.

    Dated at Washington, DC, this 28th day of June, 2010.
