SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 30, 2018, the FDIC requested comment 
for 60 days on a proposal to renew the information collection described

comment did not address the accuracy of the PRA estimates. Therefore, 
the FDIC hereby gives notice of its plan to submit to OMB a request to 
approve the renewal of this collection, and again invites comment on 
this renewal.

    General Description of Collection:
    The Rule requires certain insured depository institutions (IDIs) to 
submit a Resolution Plan that should enable the FDIC, as receiver, to 
resolve the institution under Sections 11 and 13 of the Federal Deposit 
Insurance Act (FDI Act), 12 U.S.C. 1821 and 1823, in a manner that 
ensures that depositors receive access to their insured deposits within 
one business day of the institution's failure (two business days if the 
failure occurs on a day other than Friday), maximizes the net present 
value return from the sale or disposition of its assets, and minimizes 
the amount of any loss to be realized by the institution's creditors. 
An IDI with $50 billion or more in total assets (i.e., a covered IDI or 
CIDI) is required to submit periodically to the FDIC a contingent plan 
for the resolution of such institution in the event of its failure.
    The Rule established the requirements for submission and content of 
a Resolution Plan, as well as procedures for review by the FDIC. After 
the initial submission, the Rule requires plan submissions on an annual 
basis (Annual Update) unless the FDIC determines to change the 
submission date. A CIDI must notify the FDIC of any event, occurrence, 
change in conditions or circumstances or other change which results in, 
or reasonably could be foreseen to have, a material effect on the 
CIDI's resolution plan.
    The Rule is intended to address the continuing exposure of the 
banking industry to the risks of insolvency of large and complex IDIs 
that can be mitigated with proper resolution planning. The Interim 
Final Rule, which preceded the Rule, became effective January 1, 2012, 
and remained in effect until it was superseded by the Rule on April 1, 
2012.

    The annual burden for this information collection is estimated to 
be 572,791 hours. This represents an increase of 281,305 hours from the 
current burden estimate of 291,486 hours. This increase is not due to 
any new requirements imposed by the FDIC. Rather, it is due to FDIC's 
reassessment of the burden hours associated with responding to the 
existing requirements of the Rule and to guidance, feedback, and 
additional requests for information by the FDIC as part of the 
iterative resolution planning process. The revised estimates are 
informed by feedback received from the CIDIs over the past year. 
Because submissions have been required no more frequently than 
biennially, the burden associated with the Annual Update has been 
multiplied by \2/3\ to represent two Annual Update filings over the 
three-year period contemplated by this notice and renewal.

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 October 23, 2018.
