    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 current paper form and 
proposed electronic form can be reviewed at the following link:
