FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION


Agency Information Collection Activities: Renewal of Currently 
Approved Collection (3064-0127); Submission for OMB Review; Comment 
Request

AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

ACTION: Notice of information collection to be submitted to OMB for 
review and approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act, and Request for 
Comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the FDIC may not conduct or sponsor, 
and the respondent is not required to respond to, an information 
collection unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) control number. The FDIC, as part of its continuing 
effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general 
public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment 
on the renewal of existing information collections, as required by the 
PRA. On February 23, 2010 (75 FR 8076), the FDIC solicited public 
comment for a 60-day period on renewal of the following information 
collection: Occasional Qualitative Surveys information collection (OMB 
No. 3064-0127). One comment was received. (A customer apparently 
complained to a bank and thanked the FDIC for its support.) Therefore, 
the FDIC hereby gives notice of submission of its request for renewal 
to OMB for review.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before July 6, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties are invited to submit written comments. 
All comments should refer to the name of the collection. Comments may 
be submitted by any of the following methods:

collection in the subject line of the message.

station at the rear of the 550 17th Street Building (located on F

    General Description of Collection: The information collected in 
these surveys is anecdotal in nature, that is, samples are not 
necessarily random, the results are not necessarily representative of a 
larger class of potential respondents, and the goal is not to produce a 
statistically valid and reliable database. Rather, the surveys are 
expected to yield anecdotal information about the particular 
experiences and opinions of members of the public, primarily staff at 
respondent banks or bank customers. The information is used to improve 
the way FDIC relates to its clients, to develop agendas for regulatory 
or statutory change, and in some cases to simply learn how particular 
policies or programs are working, or are perceived in particular cases.

Request for Comment

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether this 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 estimate 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. All 
comments will become a matter of public record.

    Dated at Washington, DC this 1st day of June, 2010.
Robert E. Feldman,
Executive Secretary, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
