SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Proposal to renew the following currently-approved collection of 
information:
    Title: Asset Purchaser Eligibility Certification.
    OMB Number: 3064-0135.
    Form Number: FDIC 7300/06, ``Purchaser Eligibility Certification;'' 
7300/07 ``Pre-Qualification Request;'' and 7300/08, ``Contact 
Information Form.''
    Affected Public: Business or other financial institutions.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 600.
    Estimated Time Per Response: 1.0 hour (Purchaser Eligibility 
Certification, 30 minutes; Pre-Qualification Request, 20 minutes; and 
Contact Information Form, 10 minutes).
    Total Annual Burden: 600 hours.
    General Description of Collection: The FDIC uses the Purchaser 
Eligibility Certification form, FDIC Form No. 7300/06, to identify 
prospective bidders who are not eligible to purchase assets of failed 
institutions from the FDIC. Specifically, section 11(p) of the Federal 
Deposit Insurance Act prohibits the sale of assets of failed 
institutions to certain individuals or entities that profited or 
engaged in wrongdoing at the expense of those failed institutions, or 
seriously mismanaged failed institutions. The Pre-Qualification Request 
form, FDIC Form No. 7300/07, is designed to determine which prospective 
bidders are qualified to bid on particular types of assets offered by 
the FDIC. In addition, the FDIC uses the Contact Information Form, FDIC 
Form No. 7300/08, to determine the type of assets a prospective bidder 
is interested in, and to facilitate communication with the prospective 
bidder.

Request for Comment

is 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 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.

    Dated at Washington, DC, this 9th day of March 2015.
    Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Executive Secretary.
