This information collection arose from
a final rule providing for a six-month extension, from December 31,
2009, to June 30, 2010, of the Transaction Account Guarantee
component of the Temporary Liquidity Program (TLGP)(12 CFR Part
370). The rule allowed a one-time opt-out for participating
institutions electing not to participate in the extension.
Institutions opting out were required to provide customer
disclosures that excess funds in transaction accounts would no
longer be guaranteed under the TAG program after December 31, 2009.
In addition, for those institutions electing to continue their
participation in the program, existing disclosures containing a
termination date of December 31, 2009, for the transaction account
guarantee needed to be updated to reflect the new termination date
of June 30, 2010. The FDIC Board of Directors, on April 13, 2010,
approved a second extension of the TAG program for a six-month
period, to December 31, 2010, with the option for an additional
12-month extension without further rulemaking if it determines that
such an extension is warranted. This second extension allows the
same opportunity for opt-out and imposes the same disclosure
requirements as the first extension.
The burden adjustment of +6340
hours is the result of a 6-month extension of the TAG Program, from
June 30, 2010, to December 31, 2010, and the opportunity for
currently participating institutions to request authorization to
opt out of the extension. Institutions electing to opt out must
disclose to customers that excess funds in noninterest-bearing
transaction accounts will no longer be guaranteed, effective July
1, 2010. Institutions electing to participate in the program
extension may have to update existing disclosures to reflect a new
termination date of December 31, 2010.
