    Total Estimated Annual Burden..  .....................  .....................  ..............  .....................  ..............          12,897
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    General Description of Collection: The Summary of Deposits (SOD) is 
the annual survey of branch office deposits as of June 30 for all FDIC-
insured institutions, including insured U.S. branches of foreign banks. 
All FDIC-insured institutions that operate a main office and one or 
more branch locations (including limited service drive-thru locations) 
as of June 30 each year are required to file the SOD Survey. Insured 
branches of foreign banks are also required to file. All data collected 
on the SOD submission are available to the public. The survey data 
provides a basis for measuring the competitive impact of bank mergers 
and has additional use in research on banking.
    There is no change in the substance or methodology of this 
information collection. The change in burden is due solely to the 
decrease in the estimated number of respondents by 544 from the 
estimated 4,843 annual respondents in the currently-approved 
information collection to the current estimate of 4,299. The decrease 
in estimated respondents is the result of the drop in the total number 
of insured depository institutions.
    2. Title: Foreign Banking Investments by Insured State Nonmember 
Banks.
    OMB Number: 3064-0125.

    Total Estimated Annual Burden..  .....................  .....................  ..............  .....................  ..............           4,172
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Affected Public: Insured state nonmember banks and state savings 
associations.
    Burden Estimate:
    General Description of Collection: The Federal Deposit Insurance 
(FDI) Act requires state nonmember banks to obtain FDIC consent to 
establish or operate a foreign branch, or to acquire and hold, directly 
or indirectly, stock or other evidence of ownership in any foreign bank 
or other entity. The FDI Act also authorizes the FDIC to impose 
conditions for such consent and to issue regulations related thereto. 
This collection is a direct consequence of those statutory 
requirements.
    There is no change in the substance or methodology of this 
information collection. The change in burden is due solely to the 
decrease in the estimated number of respondents by 2 from the estimated 
20 annual respondents in the currently-approved information collection 
to the current estimate of 18. The decrease in estimated respondents is 
the result of the drop in the total number of insured depository 
institutions.
    3. Title: Reverse Mortgage Products.
    OMB Number: 3064-0176.
    Affected Public: Insured state nonmember banks and state savings 
associations making reverse mortgage.

    General Description of Collection: Respondents must prepare and 
provide certain disclosures to consumers (e.g., that insurance products 
and annuities are not FDIC-insured) and obtain consumer 
acknowledgments, at two different times: (1) Before the completion of 
the initial sale of an insurance product or annuity to a consumer; and 
(2) at the time of application for the extension of credit (if 
insurance products or annuities are sold, solicited, advertised, or 
offered in connection with an extension of credit).

Methodology and Assumptions

    The FDIC revised its estimates of the number of respondents to this 
information collection based on changes in the estimated number of 
respondents due to economic conditions. The hourly burden per response 
remains the same, recognizing a difference between the amount of time 
required to implement policies and procedures and the amount of time 
required to maintain records on an ongoing basis once those policies 
and procedures have been established.

Total Estimated Number of Respondents

    FDIC revised its estimate of the number of respondents to this 
information collection. Potential respondents to this information 
collection include all FDIC-supervised institutions that adopt or 
revise policies and procedures regarding reverse mortgage offerings. 
The estimate for respondents with ongoing reverse mortgage products was 
calculated using 2018 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data and 2018 
monthly U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Home 
Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) data. For the 2018 HMDA data, the 
FDIC identified 27 institutions that had at least 1 application for a 
reverse mortgage.\1\ In order to account for reverse mortgage 
originators who did not report HMDA data, the FDIC cross referenced to 
the 2018 HUD HECM data and identified 6 institutions with at least 1 
application in the 2018 HUD HECM data. Three of those institutions were 
also identified in the 2018 HMDA data; thus, the FDIC identified 30 
total reverse mortgage originators using 2018 data from the two 
sources.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ HMDA only began tracking reverse mortgages with the 2018 
HMDA data, meaning that there is no way to identify reverse 
mortgages in HMDA data in 2017 or earlier.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    To estimate the number of institutions facing implementation 
burden, FDIC looked at the change in the estimated number of 
respondents facing ongoing burden for revising existing policies and 
procedures. In 2016 FDIC estimated the number of respondents facing 
ongoing burden to be 26. The current estimated number of FDIC-
supervised institutions that offer reverse mortgages is 30. The FDIC 
assumes that approximately 4 institutions began offering reverse 
mortgages over the last three years and estimates the number of 
respondents implementing reverse mortgage products to be approximately 
one per year.

Estimated Hourly Burden

    FDIC estimates the recordkeeping burden associated with 
implementing and documenting incentive-based compensation policies and 
procedures to be 40 hours per respondent, per year. FDIC estimates the 
recordkeeping burden associated with revising and documenting 
incentive-based compensation policies and procedures previously adopted 
and documented to be 8 hours per respondent, per year.

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.
