    General Description of Collection: Upon the failure of an FDIC-
insured depository institution, the FDIC must determine the total 
insured amount for each depositor. 12 U.S.C. 1821(f). To make this 
determination, the FDIC must ascertain the balances of all deposit 
accounts owned by the same depositor in the same ownership capacity at 
a failed institution as of the day of failure. The FDIC issued a 
regulation (12 CFR 360.9) to modernize the process of determining the 
insurance status of each depositor in the event of failure of a covered 
institution. The regulation requires covered institutions to adopt 
mechanisms that would, in the event of the institution's failure (1) 
provide the FDIC with standard deposit account and other customer 
information, and (2) allow the placement and release of holds on 
liability accounts, including deposits. The regulation applies only to 
covered institutions and imposes the following recordkeeping and 
reporting requirements:

Recordkeeping

    360.9(c)(1) and (2)--Posting and Removing Provisional Holds. 
Covered institutions must have an automatic process for placing a 
provisional hold on deposit accounts within timeframes specified in 
FDIC regulations.
    360.9(d)(1) and (2)--Providing Standard Data Format for Deposit 
Account and Customer Information. Covered institutions must produce 
information in the specified standard data format.

Reporting

    360.9(c)(3)--Covered institutions must notify the FDIC of the 
person(s) responsible for producing required standard data downloads 
and for administering provisional holds.
    360.9(c)(9)--A covered institution may request an exemption from 
the provisional hold requirements for certain account systems servicing 
a relatively small number of accounts where manual application of 
provisional holds is feasible.
    360.9(d)(3)--Upon request by the FDIC, a covered institution must 
submit the data required by 360.9(d)(1) .

[[Page 18562]]

    360.9(e)(7)--A covered institution may request an extension of the 
deadline to comply with provisional hold and standard data format 
requirements.
    360.9(f)--A covered institution may request an exemption from the 
provisional hold and standard data format requirements due to high 
concentration of deposits incidental to credit card operations.
    360.9(h)--A covered institution's compliance with the recordkeeping 
and reporting requirements set forth in the rule will be tested by the 
FDIC.

Burden Estimate Methodology and Assumptions

    The FDIC is revising its burden estimate because the number of 
covered institutions has decreased due to economic fluctuations and 
most covered institutions have already implemented the requirements of 
the regulation and will only face reduced ongoing compliance burdens. 
Based on FDIC Call Report data,\1\ the regulation currently applies to 
145 institutions. The FDIC has determined that in the past, between 1 
and 3 new institutions per quarter have become covered under the 
regulation. FDIC estimates that on average, 2 new institutions per 
quarter (8 new institutions per year) will become covered and be 
subject to initial implementation burden. The following table reflects 
the FDCI's estimate of the breakdown of covered institutions facing 
implementation and ongoing burden during the next three years:

Ongoing.........................................             145             153             161             153
                                                 ---------------------------------------------------------------
    Total.......................................             153             161             169             161
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    All covered institutions will be required to comply with the 
requirements of 360.9(h). FDIC estimates that half of the covered 
institutions will be tested for compliance each year. As a result, it 
is estimated that an average of 81 covered institutions will be 
affected by this reporting burden annually. No institutions have 
requested an extension under section 360.9(e)(7), or exemptions under 
sections 360.9(c)(9) or 360.9(f). The ``Summary of Annual Burden'' 
table above lists a respondent count of 1 for these requests as 
placeholders to preserve the burden estimates for these activities.

Request for Comment

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