    General Description of Collection: Section 12(i) of the Exchange 
Act grants authority to the Federal banking agencies to administer and 
enforce sections 10A(m), 12, 13, 14(a), 14(c), 14(d), 14(f), and 16 of 
the Exchange Act and sections 302, 303, 304, 306, 401(b), 404, 406, and 
407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Pursuant to section 12(i), the 
FDIC has the authority, including rulemaking authority, to administer 
and enforce these enumerated provisions as may be necessary with 
respect to state nonmember banks and state savings associations over 
which it has been designated the appropriate Federal banking agency. 
Section 12(i) generally requires the FDIC to issue regulations 
substantially similar to those issued by the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (SEC) regulations to carry out these responsibilities. Thus, 
part 335 of the FDIC regulations incorporates by cross-reference the 
SEC rules and regulations regarding the disclosure and filing 
requirements of registered securities of state nonmember banks and 
state savings associations.
    After evaluating the remaining ICs in the 2020 ICR, the FDIC has 
that 2 of the 19 ICs in the 2020 ICR should be removed from OMB No. 
3064-0030. Form 8-C, where a reporting bank will file with the FDIC 
when registering certain classes of securities, has been removed. Form 
10-C, where a covered bank will file with the FDIC specific business 
and financial information on risk factors in accordance with the 
registration of securities, has also been removed. The FDIC has removed 
these forms because they have never been used and are not required to 
be filed.
    The estimated annual burden for OMB No. 3064-0030 of 42,542 hours, 
represents an increase of 30,996 hours from the 2020 ICR (11,546 
hours). This increase is driven primarily by (1)

[[Page 1071]]

revised respondent and response count estimation methodologies for each 
of the ICs; (2) revised hourly burden estimates from the SEC for the 
SEC forms and schedules that are used in this ICR; (3) the removal of 
two collections from the 2020 ICR--Form 8-C and Form 10-C; and (4) the 
addition of two collections, both pursuant to the 1996 SOP, for Forms D 
and 1-A. The most significant increase annual burden comes from an 
increase in the hourly burden estimate for Form 10-K. The 2020 ICR 
estimated that Form 10-K would take about 140 hours per response. 
However, the SEC's most recent estimates for Form 10-K are 2,255.36 
hours. Even after reducing the hourly burden by about 42.5 percent to 
account for heterogeneity in filing and reporting requirements across 
the 20 active FDIC-supervised IDIs expected to file Form 10-K the FDIC 
estimates that the hourly burden will be approximately 1,297 hours. 
This results in a total estimated annual burden of 28,530 hours, an 
increase of 25,590 hours from the 2020 ICR for this IC (2,940). This 
revision alone accounts for over 82 percent of the increase in total 
annual burden from the 2020 ICR to this ICR.
    This information collection includes the following:

Beneficial Ownership Forms: FDIC Forms 3, 4, and 5 (FDIC Form Numbers 
6800/03, 6800/04, and 6800/05)

    Pursuant to section 16 of the Exchange Act, every director, 
officer, and owner of more than ten percent of a class of equity 
securities registered with the FDIC under section 12 of the Exchange 
Act must file with the FDIC a statement of ownership regarding such 
securities. The initial filing is on Form 3 and changes are reported on 
Form 4. The Annual Statement of beneficial ownership of securities is 
on Form 5. The forms contain information on the reporting person's 
relationship to the company and on purchases and sales of such equity 
securities. 12 CFR 335.601 through 336.613 of the FDIC's regulations, 
which cross-reference 17 CFR 240.16a of the SEC's regulations, provide 
the FDIC form requirements for FDIC Forms 3, 4, and 5 in lieu of SEC 
Forms 3, 4, and 5, which are described at 17 CFR 249.103 (Form 3), 
249.104 (Form 4), and 249.105 (Form 5).

Form 8-A for Registration of Certain Classes of Securities

    Form 8-A is used for registration pursuant to section 12(b) or (g) 
of the Exchange Act of any class of securities of any issuer which is 
required to file reports pursuant to section 13 or 15(d) of that Act or 
pursuant to an order exempting the exchange on which the issuer has 
securities listed from registration as a national securities exchange. 
Form 8-A is described at 17 CFR 249.208a. There is no actual ``Form 8-
A'' as filers must produce a customized narrative document in 
compliance with the requirements in accordance with the filer's 
particular circumstances.

Form 8-K: Current Report

    This is the current report that is used to report the occurrence of 
any material events or corporate changes that are of importance to 
investors or security holders and have not been reported previously by 
the registrant. It provides more current information on certain 
specified events than would Forms 10-Q and 10-K. The form description 
is at 17 CFR 249.308. There is no actual ``Form 8-K'' as filers must 
produce a customized narrative document in compliance with the 
requirements in accordance with the filer's particular circumstances.

Form 10: Forms for Registration of Securities

    Form 10 is described at 17 CFR 249.210. There is no actual ``Form 
10'' as filers must produce a customized narrative document in 
compliance with the requirements in accordance with the filer's 
particular circumstances.

Form 10-K: Annual Report

    This annual report is used by issuers registered under the Exchange 
Act to provide information described in Regulation S-K, 17 CFR 229. The 
form is described at 17 CFR 249.310. There is no actual ``Form 10-K'' 
as filers must produce a customized narrative document in compliance 
with the requirements in accordance with the filer's particular 
circumstances.

Form 10-Q: Quarterly Reports

    The Form 10-Q is a report filed quarterly by most reporting 
companies. It includes unaudited financial statements and provides a 
continuing overview of major changes in the company's financial 
position during the year, as compared to the prior corresponding 
period. The report must be filed for each of the first three fiscal 
quarters of the company's fiscal year and is due within 40 or 45 days 
of the close of the quarter, depending on the size of the reporting 
company. The description of Form 10-Q is at 17 CFR 249.308a. There is 
no actual ``Form 10-Q'' as filers must produce a customized narrative 
document in compliance with the requirements in accordance with the 
filer's particular circumstances.

Form 12b-25: Notification of Late Filing

    This notification extends the reporting deadlines for filing 
quarterly and annual reports for qualifying companies. There is no FDIC 
Form 12b-25. The form is described at 17 CFR 249.322.

Form 15: Certification and Notice of Termination of Registration

    This form is filed by each issuer to certify that the number of 
holders of record of a class of security registered under section 12(g) 
of the Exchange Act is reduced to a specified level in order to 
terminate the registration of the class of security. For a bank, the 
number of holders of record of a class of registered security must be 
reduced to less than 1,200 persons. For a savings association, the 
number of record holders of a class of registered security must be 
reduced to (1) less than 300 persons or (2) less than 500 persons and 
the total assets of the issuer have not exceeded $10 million on the 
last day of each of the issuer's most recent three fiscal years. In 
general, registration terminates 90 days after the filing of the 
certification. There is no FDIC Form 15. This form is described at 17 
CFR 249.323.

Schedule 13D: Certain Beneficial Ownership Changes

    This Schedule discloses beneficial ownership of certain registered 
equity securities. Any person or group of persons who acquire a 
beneficial ownership of more than 5 percent of a class of registered 
equity securities of certain issuers must file a Schedule 13D reporting 
such acquisition together with certain other information within ten 
days after such acquisition. Moreover, any material changes in the 
facts set forth in the Schedule generally precipitates a duty to 
promptly file an amendment on Schedule 13D. The SEC's rules define the 
term beneficial owner to be any person who directly or indirectly 
shares voting power or investment power (the power to sell the 
security). There is no FDIC form for Schedule 13D. This schedule is 
described at 17 CFR 240.13d-101.

Schedule 13E-3: Going Private Transactions by Certain Issuers or Their 
Affiliates

    This schedule must be filed if an issuer engages in a solicitation 
subject to Regulation 14A or a distribution subject to Regulation 14C, 
in connection with a going private merger with its affiliate. An 
affiliate and an issuer may be required to complete, file, and 
disseminate a Schedule 13E-3, which directs that each person filing the 
schedule state whether it reasonably

[[Page 1072]]

believes that the Rule 13e-3 transaction is fair or unfair to 
unaffiliated security holders. There is no FDIC form for Schedule 13E-
3. This schedule is described at 17 CFR 240.13e-100.

Schedule 13G: Certain Acquisitions of Stock

    Certain acquisitions of stock that are over than 5 percent of an 
issuer must be reported to the public. Schedule 13G is a much 
abbreviated version of Schedule 13D that is only available for use by a 
limited category of persons (such as banks, broker/dealers, and 
insurance companies) and even then only when the securities were 
acquired in the ordinary course of business and not with the purpose or 
effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer. There is 
no FDIC form for Schedule 13G. This schedule is described at 17 CFR 
240.13d-102.

Schedule 14A: Proxy Statements

    State law governs the circumstances under which shareholders are 
entitled to vote. When a shareholder vote is required and any person 
solicits proxies with respect to securities registered under section 12 
of the Exchange Act, that person generally is required to furnish a 
proxy statement containing the information specified by Schedule 14A. 
The proxy statement is intended to provide shareholders with the proxy 
information necessary to enable them to vote in an informed manner on 
matters intended to be acted upon at shareholders' meetings, whether 
the traditional annual meeting or a special meeting. Typically, a 
shareholder is also provided with a proxy card to authorize designated 
persons to vote his or her securities on the shareholder's behalf in 
the event the holder does not vote in person at the meeting. Copies of 
preliminary and definitive (final) proxy statements and proxy cards are 
filed with the FDIC. There is no FDIC form for Schedule 14A. The 
description of this schedule is at 17 CFR 240.14a-101.

Schedule 14C: Information Required in Information Statements

    An information statement prepared in accordance with the 
requirements of the SEC's Regulation 14C is required whenever matters 
are submitted for shareholder action at an annual or special meeting 
when there is no proxy solicitation under the SEC's Regulation 14A. 
There is no FDIC form for Schedule 14C. This schedule is described at 
17 CFR 240.14c-101.

Schedule 14D-1: Tender Offer

    This schedule is also known as Schedule TO. Any person, other than 
the issuer itself, making a tender offer for certain equity securities 
registered pursuant to section 12 of the Exchange Act is required to 
file this schedule if acceptance of the offer would cause that person 
to own over 5 percent of that class of the securities. This schedule 
must be filed and sent to various parties, such as the issuer and any 
competing bidders. In addition, the SEC's Regulation 14D sets forth 
certain requirements that must be complied with in connection with a 
tender offer. This schedule is described at 17 CFR 240.14d-100. There 
is no actual form for Schedule 14D-1 as filers must produce a 
customized narrative document in compliance with the requirements in 
accordance with the filer's particular circumstances.

Request for Comment

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collections of information 
are necessary for the proper performance of the FDIC's functions,
