    General Description of Collection: This voluntary information 
collection applies to entities regulated by the FDIC for purposes of 
assessing their diversity policies and practices as described in the 
final Interagency Policy Statement Establishing Joint Standards for 
Assessing the Diversity Policies and Practices of Entities Regulated by 
the Agencies. The FDIC may use the information submitted by the 
entities it regulates to monitor progress and trends in the financial 
services industry with regard to diversity and inclusion in employment 
and contracting activities and to identify and highlight those policies 
and practices that have been successful. The FDIC will continue to 
reach out to the regulated entities and other interested parties to 
discuss diversity and inclusion in the financial services industry and 
share leading practices. The FDIC may also publish information 
disclosed by the entity, such as any identified leading practices, in a 
form that does not identify a particular institution or individual or 
disclose confidential business information. The proposed paper form can 
be viewed at https://www.fdic.gov/regulations/laws/federal/2019/3064-0200/proposed-paper-form.pdf (this form will need to be downloaded 
before it can be opened); the proposed on-line form can be viewed at 
https://www.fdic.gov/regulations/laws/federal/2019/3064-0200/proposed-on-line-form.pdf; and the revisions to the paper form can be viewed at 
https://www.fdic.gov/regulations/laws/federal/2019/3064-0200/proposed-revisions-to-paper-form.pdf.

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.
