    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 September 12, 2018.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Robert E. Feldman,
Executive Secretary.
