General Description of Collection: The
1975 Amendments to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 established a
comprehensive framework for the
regulation of the activities of municipal
securities dealers. Under Section 15B(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act,
municipal securities dealers which are
banks, or separately identifiable
departments or divisions of banks
engaging in municipal securities
activities, are required to be registered
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in accordance with such
rules as the Municipal Securities
1 85

Rulemaking Board (MSRB), a
rulemaking authority established by the
1975 Amendments, may prescribe as
necessary or appropriate in the public
interest or for the protection of
investors. One of the areas in which the
Act directed the MSRB to promulgate
rules is the qualifications of persons
associated with municipal securities
dealers as municipal securities
principals and municipal securities
representatives. The MSRB Rules
require persons who are or seek to be
associated with municipal securities
dealers as municipal securities
principals or municipal securities
representatives to provide certain

background information and conversely,
require the municipal securities dealers
to obtain the information from such
persons. Generally, the information
required to be furnished relates to
employment history and professional
background including any disciplinary
sanctions and any claimed bases for
exemption from MSRB examination
requirements. The FDIC and the other
two Federal bank regulatory agencies,
the Comptroller of the Currency, and the
Federal Reserve Board, have prescribed
Forms MSD–4 to satisfy these
requirements and have prescribed Form
MSD–5 for notification by a bank
municipal securities dealer that a

municipal securities principal’s or a
municipal securities representative’s
association with the dealer has
terminated and the reason for such
termination. State nonmember banks
and state savings associations that are
municipal security dealers submit these
forms, as applicable, to the FDIC as their

appropriate regulatory agency for each
person associated with the dealer as a
municipal securities principal or
municipal securities representative.

General Description of Collection:
Under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (15 U.S.C. 78q–1), an insured
nonmember bank (or a subsidiary of
such a bank) that functions as a transfer
agent may withdraw from registration as
a transfer agent by filing a written notice

of withdrawal with the FDIC. The FDIC
requires such banks to file FDIC Form
6342/12 as the written notice of
withdrawal. There is no change in the

General Description of Collection:
FIRREA directs the FDIC to prescribe
appropriate performance standards for
real estate appraisals connected with
federally related transactions under its
jurisdiction. This information collection
is a direct consequence of the statutory
requirement. It is designed to provide
protection for federal financial and

public policy interests by requiring real
estate appraisals used in connection
with federally related transactions to be
performed in writing, in accordance
with uniform standards, by an appraiser
whose competency has been
demonstrated and whose professional
conduct will be subject to effective
supervision. The overall reduction in
burden hours is a result of economic
fluctuation. In particular, the number of

respondents has decreased, the
reporting frequency has increased while
the estimated time per response remains
the same.

General Description of Collection: The
Prompt Corrective Action (PCA)
provisions of section 38 of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act require or permit
the FDIC and other federal banking
agencies to take certain supervisory
actions when FDIC-insured institutions
fall within certain capital categories.
They also restrict or prohibit certain
activities and require the submission of

a capital restoration plan when an
insured institution becomes
undercapitalized. Various provisions of
the statute and the FDIC’s implementing
regulations require the prior approval of
the FDIC before an FDIC-supervised
institution, or certain insured
depository institutions, can engage in
certain activities, or allow the FDIC to
make exceptions to restrictions that
would otherwise be imposed. This
collection of information consists of the

applications that are required to obtain
the FDIC’s prior approval to engage in
these activities. There is no change in

This rule is necessary to give effect to
such cross-default restrictions in the

FDIC-supervised institutions that are
subsidiaries of GSIBs and their

counterparties either adhere to the ISDA
Protocol or take the prescribed steps to
amend the contractual provisions of
their QFCs, consistent with the
requirements in the rule, within a
specified period of time. If such
institutions elect to amend their QFCs
in lieu of adhering to the ISDA Protocol,

they must seek the FDIC’s approval of
