    General Description of Collection: The collection of information 
requirements are contained in 12 CFR part 344. The purpose of the 
regulation is to ensure that purchasers of securities in transactions 
affected by insured state nonmember banks are provided with adequate 
records concerning the transactions. The regulation is also designed to 
ensure that insured state nonmember banks maintain adequate records and 
controls with respect to the securities transactions they effect. 
Finally, this regulation requires officers and employees of FDIC-
supervised institutions to report to the FDIC-supervised institution 
certain personal securities trading activity.
    The FDIC has reviewed its previous submission related to the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and has updated its methodology for 
calculating the burden in order to be consistent with the Federal 
Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. In 
addition, the FDIC has reviewed and revised its estimated number of 
respondents to ensure that only those institutions with income from 
securities brokerage activity are included its respondent count. The 
overall decrease in burden hours is the result of these changes.

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.

    Dated at Washington, DC, on May 21, 2018.
