    General Description of Collection: FDIC regulations (12 CFR 333.2) 
prohibit any insured State nonmember bank from changing the general 
character of its business without the prior written consent of the 
FDIC. The exercise of trust powers by a bank is usually considered a 
change in the general character of a bank's business if the bank did 
not exercise those powers previously. Therefore, unless a bank is 
currently exercising trust powers, it must file a formal application to 
obtain the FDIC's written consent to exercise trust powers. State 
banking authorities, not the FDIC, grant trust powers to their banks. 
The FDIC merely consents to the exercise of such powers. Applicants use 
form FDIC 6200/09 to obtain FDIC's consent.
    2. Title: Certified Statement for Quarterly Deposit Insurance 
Assessment.
    OMB Number: 3064-0057.
    Form Number: 6420/07.
    Affected Public: FDIC-insured depository institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 6,081.
    Frequency of Response: Quarterly.
    Estimated Time Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
    Total Estimated Annual Burden: 8,108 hours.
    General Description of Collection: The FDIC collects deposit 
insurance assessments on a quarterly basis. Each assessment is based on 
the institution's quarterly report of condition for the prior calendar 
quarter. The FDIC collects the quarterly payments by means of direct 
debits through the Automated Clearing House network. The collection 
dates for the first period

[[Page 85958]]

of any given year (January through June) are June 30 and September 30 
of the current year. The collection dates for the second period (July 
through December) are December 30 of the current year and March 30 of 
the following year. The information collection consists of 
recordkeeping associated with reviews by officials of the insured 
institutions to confirm that the assessment data are accurate and, in 
cases of inaccuracy, submission of corrected data.
    3. Title: Insurance Products Consumer Protections.
    OMB Number: 3064-0140.
    Form Number: None.
    Affected Public: Insured State nonmember banks and savings 
associations that sell insurance products; persons who sell insurance 
products in or on behalf of insured State nonmember banks and savings 
associations.

    General Description of Collection: In August, 2010, the OCC, FDIC, 
FRB and NCUA issued guidance focusing on the need to provide adequate 
information to consumers about reverse mortgage products; to provide 
qualified independent counseling to consumers considering these 
products; and to avoid potential conflicts of interest. The guidance 
also addressed related policies, procedures, internal controls, and 
third party risk management. Prior to the effective date of the final 
guidance, the Agencies obtained PRA approval from OMB for the 
information collection requirements contained therein. These 
information collection requirements included implementation of policies 
and procedures, training, and program maintenance. The requirements are 
outlined below:
     Institutions offering reverse mortgages should have 
written policies and procedures that prohibit the practice of directing 
a consumer to a particular counseling agency or contacting a counselor 
on the consumer's behalf.
     Policies should be clear so that originators do not have 
an inappropriate incentive to sell other products that appear linked to 
the granting of a mortgage.
     Legal and compliance reviews should include oversight of 
compensation programs so that lending personnel are not improperly 
encouraged to direct consumers to particular products.
     Training should be designed so that relevant lending 
personnel are able to convey information to consumers about product 
terms and risks in a timely, accurate, and balanced manner.

Request for Comment

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