SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposal to renew the following currently 
approved collections of information:
    1. Title: Interagency Bank Merger Act Application.
    OMB Number: 3064-0015.
    Form Number: None.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households; business or other for 
profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 241.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Average Burden Hours per Response: 23.5 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 5,664 hours.
    General Description of the Collection: The Interagency Bank Merger 
Act Application form is used by the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Corporation, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, and 
the Comptroller of the Currency for applications under section 18(c) of 
the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDIA), as amended (12 U.S.C. 
1828(c)). The application is used for a merger, consolidation, or other 
combining transaction between nonaffiliated parties as well as to 
effect a corporate reorganization between affiliated parties (affiliate 
transaction). There is a different level of burden for each of the two 
types of merger transactions, nonaffiliated and affiliated. An 
affiliate transaction refers to a merger, consolidation, other 
combination, or transfer of any deposit liabilities, between depository 
institutions that are controlled by the same holding company. It 
includes a business combination between a depository institution and an 
affiliated interim institution. Applicants proposing affiliate 
transactions are not required to complete questions 12 through 14 of 
this form. If depository institutions are not controlled by the same 
holding company, the merger transaction is considered nonaffiliated, 
and the applicant must complete the entire form. There is no change in 
the method or substance of the collection. The estimated annual burden 
remains the same.

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.

    Dated at Washington, DC, this 24th day of May 2017.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Robert E. Feldman,
Executive Secretary.
