SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The change to this collection requested by
the Agencies concerns the filing method for reports of beneficial
ownership by insiders whose equity securities are registered with the
Agencies. In the past, the Agencies have required paper filings. The
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act''), as amended by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, changed this requirement to electronic
filing. Currently, the Agencies are authorizing voluntary electronic
filing through an electronic system, which has been available since
July 30. Electronic filing will be made mandatory by a separate, later
action by the Agencies. The new electronic system is an important step
in the Agencies' ongoing efforts to streamline the filing and retrieval
of reports filed with the Agencies under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. It will also reduce burden on insiders who must file these
reports within two business days of completing a transaction in equity
securities of the institution.
Additionally, OTS collects other periodic disclosure documents
required to be filed by savings associations pursuant to the Exchange
Act on forms promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
for its registrants. OTS seeks public comment on its proposed renewal
of this collection, in addition to the planned change in filing method
for reports of beneficial ownership.
The Agencies' burden estimates follow.
Burden Estimates:
Estimated Number of Respondents:
FDIC: 1,333.
OTS: 16.
Estimated Number of Responses:
FDIC: 1,800.
OTS: 401.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours:
FDIC: 1,100 hours.
OTS: 66,567 hours.
Frequency of Response:
FDIC: On occasion.
OTS: On occasion; quarterly; annually.
Comments: All comments submitted in response to this notice will
become a matter of public record. Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the collection is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including whether the information has
practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
collection of information;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
