continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites 
the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity 
to comment on the renewal of existing information collections, as

Application (OMB No. 3064-0015), Interagency Notice of Change in 
Control (OMB No. 3064-0019). No comments were received. Therefore, the 
FDIC hereby gives notice of submission of its renewal requests to OMB 
for review.
