General Description of Collection: This information collection
arises from the reporting requirements contained in 12 CFR part 336,
subpart B, of the FDIC Rules and Regulations entitled ``Minimum
Standards of Fitness for Employment with the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.'' This rule implements Section 19 of the Resolution Trust
Corporation Completion Act, Public Law 103-204, by (among other things)
prescribing a certification, with attachments in some cases, relating
to job applicants' fitness and integrity. More specifically, the
statute provides that the FDIC shall issue regulations implementing
provisions that prohibit any person from becoming employed by the FDIC
who has been convicted of any felony; has been removed from, or
prohibited from participating in the affairs of, any insured depository
institution pursuant to any final enforcement action by any appropriate
federal banking agency; has demonstrated a pattern or practice of
defalcation regarding obligations to insured depository institutions;
or has caused a substantial loss to federal deposit insurance funds.
This collection of information implements these mandatory bars to
employment through a certification, signed by job applicants prior to
an offer of employment using Form 2120/16. There is no change in the
methodology or substance of this
[[Page 11051]]
information collection. The increase in total estimated annual burden
from 88 hours in 2022 to 144 hours in this renewal is due to an
increase in estimated number of respondents. We are renewing on the
PRA-required 3-year renewal schedule despite the current Federal hiring
freeze to ensure the FDIC can resume collecting this information from
job applicants when the freeze is lifted.
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.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Dated at Washington, DC, February 26, 2025.

Deputy Executive Secretary.
