Abstract: This submission covers a revision to the charter

of the FDIC. The proposed form will make the application form uniform
among the Agencies and is titled, ``Interagency Charter and Federal
Deposit Insurance Application.'' The Agencies need the information to
ensure that the covered proposed activities are permissible under law
and regulation and are consistent with safe and sound banking
practices. For example, the Agencies are required to consider financial
and managerial resources, future earnings prospects, and community
reinvestment. Further, the Agencies use the information to evaluate
specific individuals' qualifications. Both financial institutions and
individuals organizing a financial institution must provide this
information.
Current Actions: A task force of the Federal Financial Institutions
Examination Council (FFIEC) has adapted, reformatted, and retitled the
collection: Interagency Charter and Federal Deposit Insurance
Application, pursuant to the Riegle Community Development and
Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 (CDRI). Comments were solicited in
the Federal Register on September 18, 2001 (66 FR 48168). The agencies
received one comment on the form. The comment is summarized in each
agency's OMB submission.
Comments: All comments will become a matter of public record.
Written comments are invited on:
a. Whether the information collection is necessary for the proper
performance of the agencies' functions, including whether the
information has practical utility;
b. The accuracy of the agencies' estimates of the burden of the
information collection, including the validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;

[[Page 64343]]

c. Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
d. Ways to minimize the burden of information collection on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology; and

maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
