SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Proposal To Renew the Following Currently-Approved Collections of 
Information

    1. Title: Securities of Insured Nonmember Banks.
    OMB Number: 3064-0022.

    Total estimated annual burden: 75 hours.
    General Description of Collection: An insured state nonmember bank 
that serves as a municipal securities dealer must file Form MSD-4 or 
Form MSD-5, as applicable, to permit an employee to become associated 
with, or to terminate the association with, the municipal securities 
dealer. The filing requirements are based on rules promulgated by the 
Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board.
    2. Title: Request for Deregistration for Registered Transfer 
Agents.
    OMB Number: 3064-0027.
    Form Number: FDIC Form 6342/12.
    Affected Public: Insured financial institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 5.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours per Response: .42 hours.
    Total estimated annual burden: 2.1 hours.
    General Description of Collection: Under the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78q-1), an insured nonmember bank (or a 
subsidiary of such a bank) that functions as a transfer agent may 
withdraw from registration as a transfer agent by filing a written 
notice of withdrawal with the FDIC. The FDIC requires such banks to 
file FDIC Form 6342/12.
    3. Title: Prompt Corrective Action.

    Affected Public: Insured financial institutions.
    Estimated Burden Hours:

    General Description of Collection: The Prompt Corrective Action 
(``PCA'') provisions of section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Act require or permit the FDIC and other federal banking agencies to 
take certain supervisory actions when FDIC-insured institutions fall 
within one of five capital categories. They also restrict or 
prohibit certain activities and require the submission of a capital 
restoration plan when an insured institution becomes 
undercapitalized. Various provisions of the statute and the FDIC's 
implementing regulations require the prior approval of the FDIC 
before an FDIC-supervised institution can engage in certain 
activities, or allow the FDIC to make exceptions to restrictions 
that would otherwise be imposed. This collection of information 
consists of the applications that are required to obtain the FDIC's 
prior approval.

are 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 collections, 
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 
collections 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.

    Dated at Washington, DC, this 15th day of October 2014.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
