SUMMARY: The FDIC, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork

agencies to comment on the proposed extension of a continuing 
information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995. The FDIC may not conduct or sponsor, and a respondent is not 
required to respond to, an information collection unless it displays a 
currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. 
Currently, the FDIC is soliciting comment concerning the proposed 
extension of OMB approval of its information collection, entitled 
``Community Reinvestment Act,'' OMB Control No. 3064-0092.

DATES: Comments should be submitted by February 1, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FDIC is proposing to renew the following

    Affected Public: Insured state nonmember banks.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,296.

    Abstract: This submission covers an extension of the FDIC's 
currently approved information collections in its CRA regulations (12 
CFR Part 345). The FDIC needs the information collected to fulfill its 
obligations under the CRA (12 U.S.C. 2901 et seq.) 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. Financial institutions maintain and 
provide the information to the Agencies.
