Affected Public: Any depository institution seeking a waiver to the  prohibition on the acceptance of brokered deposits. Estimated Number of Respondents: 30. Estimated Time per Response: 6 hours. Total Annual Burden: 180 hours. General Description of Collection: Section 29 of the Federal  Deposit Insurance 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. 2. Title: Real Estate Lending Standards. OMB Number: 3064-0112. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Affected Public: Any financial institution engaging in real estate  lending. Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,300. Estimated Time per Response: 20 hours. Total Annual Burden: 106,000 hours. General Description of Collection: Institutions will use real  estate lending policies to guide their lending operations in a manner  that is consistent with safe and sound banking practices and  appropriate to their size, nature and scope of their operations. These  policies should address certain lending considerations, including loan- to-value limits, loan administration policies, portfolio  diversification standards, and documentation, approval and reporting  requirements. 3.Title: Management Official Interlocks. OMB Number: 3064-0118. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Affected Public: Management officials of insured nonmember banks  and their affiliates. Estimated Number of Respondents: 2.

General Description of Collection: The collection is associated  with the FDIC's Management Official Interlocks [[Page 31377]] regulation, 12 CFR part 348, which implements the Depository  Institution Management Interlocks 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 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; and (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. 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 27th day of May, 2004.
