SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposal to renew the following currently

Affected Public: Insured state nonmember banks.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 61.
Estimated Time per Response: 333 hours.
Total Annual Burden: 20,298 hours.
General Description of Collection: The Federal Deposit Insurance
(FDI) Act requires state nonmember banks to obtain FDIC consent to
establish or operate a branch in a foreign country, or to acquire and
hold, directly or indirectly, stock or other evidence of ownership in
any foreign bank or other entity. The FDI Act also authorizes the FDIC
to impose conditions for such consent and to issue regulations related

requirements.

maintain procedures designed to assure and monitor their compliance
with the requirements of the Bank Secrecy Act and the implementing
regulations promulgated by the Department of Treasury at 31 CFR 103.
Respondents must also provide training for appropriate personnel.

permits the FDIC to fulfill its obligations under the Community
Reinvestment Act to evaluate and assign ratings to the performance of
institutions, in connection with helping to meet the credit needs of
their communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods,
consistent with safe and sound banking practices. The FDIC uses the
information in the examination process and in evaluating applications
for mergers, branches, and certain other corporate activities.
4. Title: Application for Waiver of Publication on Acceptance of
Brokered Deposits for Adequately Capitalized Insured Institutions.
OMB Number: 3064-0099.

waiver to the prohibition on the acceptance of brokered deposits.

General Description of Collection: Section 29 of the FDI Act
prohibits undercapitalized insured depository institutions from
accepting, renewing, or rolling over any brokered deposits. Adequately
capitalized institutions may do so with a waiver from the FDIC, while
well-capitalized institutions may accept, renew, or roll over brokered
deposits without restriction.

General Description of Collection: Institutions will use real

that is consistent with safe and sound banking practices and

policies should address certain lending considerations, including loan-

diversification standards, and documentation, approval and reporting

Act (DIMIA). DIMIA generally prohibits bank management officials from
serving simultaneously with two unaffiliated depository institutions or
their holding companies but allows the FDIC to grant exemptions on
request in appropriate circumstances.
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; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the information
collection on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e)
estimates of capital or start up costs, and costs of operation,
maintenance and purchase of services to provide the information.
At the end of the comment period, the comments and recommendations
received will be analyzed to determine the extent to which the
collection should be modified prior to submission to OMB for review and
approval. Comments submitted in response to this notice also will be
summarized or included in the FDIC's requests to OMB for renewal of
these collections. All comments will become a matter of public record.
Dated at Washington, DC, this 22nd day of October, 2007.
