    General Description of Collection: The information collected 
enables the FDIC to ensure that all individuals, businesses and firms 
seeking to provide legal support services to the FDIC meet the 
eligibility requirements established by Congress. The information is 
also used to manage and monitor payments to contractors, document 
contract amendments, expiration dates, billable individuals, minority 
law firms, and to ensure that law firms, experts, and other legal 
support services providers comply with statutory and regulatory 
requirements. This collection consists of 18 forms. The decrease of 843 
hours is entirely the result of the reduction in the estimated number 
of annual respondents as a result of a revised methodology.
    Request for Comment: Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the 
collections of information are 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 collections, 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 collections 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.
