    General Description of 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 required to provide less information than applicants 
involved in the merger of two unaffiliated entities. If depository 
institutions are not controlled by the same holding company, the merger 
transaction is considered nonaffiliated. There is no change in the 
method or substance of the collection. The estimated time to complete 
the application remains the same. The change in estimated annual burden 
is due solely to economic fluctuations that have resulted in an 
increase in the number of applications received annually.

    Dated at Washington, DC, this 15th day of August, 2017.

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