provisions that prohibit any person from
becoming employed by the FDIC who
has been convicted of any felony; has
been removed from, or prohibited from
participating in the affairs of, any
insured depository institution pursuant
to any final enforcement action by any
appropriate federal banking agency; has
demonstrated a pattern or practice of
defalcation regarding obligations to
insured depository institutions; or has
caused a substantial loss to federal

General Description of Collection: The
FDIC is statutorily prohibited from
selling assets held by insured depository
institutions that have been placed under
the conservatorship or receivership of
the FDIC to individuals or entities that
profited or engaged in wrongdoing at
the expense of those failed institutions,
or seriously mismanaged those failed
institutions.1 This statutory prohibition
is implemented by regulation.2 The
FDIC uses Form No. 7300–06: Purchaser
Eligibility Certification (PEC) to
determine an entity or person’s
eligibility to purchase assets. This
Information Collection (IC) pertains to
the voluntary submission of the PEC by

persons seeking to certify their
eligibility to be able to purchase
receivership assets. Potential
respondents to this IC include any
entity or individual that wishes to bid
on or purchase assets held by insured
depository institutions that have been
placed under the conservatorship or
receivership of the FDIC. This IC
contains one reporting requirement. The
FDIC arrived at the estimated time to
respond estimate of 30 minutes per PEC
form, through observation of individuals
completing these forms at open-outcry
auction events. Since the form has not
been revised, the FDIC believes this
estimate remains reasonable and

appropriate for this ICR. The FDIC
estimated the number of respondents by
tabulating the number of PECs received
in each year between 2015 and 2020.
Over that period, the FDIC received
2,282 PECs, or approximately 380 PECs
per year on average.
3. Title: Resolution plans required for
insured depository institutions with
$100 billion or more in total assets.
OMB Number: 3064–0185.
Form Number: None.
Affected Public: FDIC insured
depository institutions with $50 billion
or more in total assets.

General Description of Collection: In
2012, the FDIC issued a rule requiring
covered insured depository institutions
(CIDIs) 3 to submit resolution plans to
the FDIC (Rule).4 The Rule was

Act).5 Since issuing the Rule in 2012,
the FDIC and CIDIs have been through
multiple resolution plan submission
cycles. Through this experience, the
FDIC has learned what aspects of the
resolution planning process are most
valuable and what could be clarified or
exempted. Furthermore, the FDIC has
total assets, as determined based upon the average
of the institution’s four most recent Reports of
Condition and Income or Thrift Financial Reports
(Call Report), as applicable to the insured
depository institution.

submitted pursuant to the IDI Rule
would not be required until the
rulemaking process was complete.7 The
FDIC partially lifted the resolution plan
moratorium for CIDIs with $100 billion
or more in assets on January 19, 2021.8
On June 25, 2021, the FDIC issued a
statement (Statement) that outlined a
modified approach to implementing the
Rule.9 The modified approach applies to
IDIs with $100 billion or more in total
assets (specified CIDIs) and announces
the FDIC’s intent to extend the
submission frequency to a three-year
cycle, streamline content requirements,
and place greater emphasis on
engagement with firms. In the
Statement, the FDIC stated that it
intends to send a letter to each specified
CIDI advising it of the timing of its next
resolution plan submission during the
three-year cycle. To streamline content
requirements, the FDIC has exempted
all specified CIDIs from including in
their resolution plans the provision,
identification, description, or discussion
of the following topics: Least Costly
Resolution Method; Asset Valuation and
Sales, Major Counterparties; Material
Entity Financial Statements;
Systemically Important Functions;
Backup Plans; Assessment of the
Resolution Plan; and High-Level
Description of Resolution Strategy.10 In
addition, the FDIC plans to exempt
certain specified CIDIs from additional
content items required under the Rule;
these exemptions are tailored to the
specified CIDI’s own circumstances and
will be communicated to each specified
CIDI in the FDIC’s letter. Specified CIDIs
may also submit written requests to the
FDIC for exemptions from additional
categories of information, which should
include a description of why the
information would not be useful or
material to the FDIC in planning to
resolve the specified CIDI. The
Statement also clarifies the postsubmission engagement process and
contemplates one such engagement per
specified CIDI per three-year resolution
plan cycle. At present, CIDIs with less
than $100 billion in total assets are not

expected to submit resolution plans
during the period of this IC.
The Rule contains ‘‘collections of
information’’ as defined by the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of
1995. As such, the FDIC must obtain
approval by the Office of Management
and Budget prior to collecting said
collections of information. This IC was
last approved for renewal on December
6, 2018 for an estimated 43 annual
responses and a total estimated annual
burden estimate of 572,791 hours.
Given the changes to the PRA
requirements of the Rule since the 2018
ICR, the FDIC has revised the
delineation of burdens. As per their
changes, the IC now comprises the
following line items:
1. Resolution Plan Updates by
specified CIDIs whose top tier parent
company is a U.S. global systemically
important bank as defined in 12 CFR
217.402 (GSIB specified CIDIs).
2. Resolution Plan Updates by
specified CIDIs whose top tier parent
company is not a U.S. global
systemically important bank (non-GSIB
specified CIDIs).
3. Resolution Plans by New Filers.
4. Notices of Material Change.
5. Exemption Requests.
Potential respondents to this IC, as
defined by the Rule under the modified
approach described in the Statement,
are specified CIDIs, or IDIs with total
assets greater than or equal to $100
billion, based upon the average of the
IDI’s four most recent Call Reports. As
of March 31, 2021, there are 33 IDIs
meeting those requirements.11 The FDIC
anticipates that one of these Specified
CIDIs will cease to exist due to its
pending merger with another specified
CIDI.12 The FDIC also anticipates that a
new specified CIDI will be created due
to the pending merger of two IDIs with
expected combined assets over $100
billion.13 Thus, on net, the FDIC
anticipates that there will be 33
potential respondents to this IC. The
estimated number of respondents will
vary by line item.

Specified CIDIs and 22 non-GSIB
specified CIDIs will submit Resolution
Plan Updates.14 To estimate the burden
imposed by the Rule under the modified
approach described in the Statement,
FDIC started with the methodology used
in the 2018 ICR. That methodology
relied on results from a survey of seven
banks to estimate an average PRA
burden per submission of 65 hours per
billion dollars of assets. FDIC then made
the following adjustments to the burden
estimate to reflect the modified
approach described in the Statement:
• Reduced the estimated average PRA
burden by five hours per billion dollars
of assets to reflect the exclusion of
content the Statement announced the
FDIC would exempt from the specified
CIDIs’ resolution plans.15
• Reduced the estimated average PRA
burden by two hours per billion dollars
of assets to reflect the rescission of
guidance that had requested that each
CIDI provide information on how a
failure scenario would impact its
creditor stack.16
• Increased the estimated average
PRA burden by 2 hours per billion of
assets to reflect the anticipated
engagement contemplated in the
Statement, which contemplates one
such engagement per specified CIDI
over the three-year filing period.17
• Reduced the estimated average
burdens for GSIB specified CIDIs by four
percent to reflect expected exemptions
tailored to each GSIB specified CIDI.
The four percent reduction was
estimated by dividing the total number
of such exemptions across all GSIB
specified CIDIs (8) by the total number
of required content items across all
GSIB specified CIDIs (198).
• Further reduced the estimated
average burdens for non-GSIB specified
CIDIs by 20 percent to reflect expected
exemptions tailored to each non-GSIB
specified CIDI. The 20 percent reduction
was estimated by dividing the total
number of such exemptions across all
non-GSIB specified CIDIs (97) by the
total number of required content items
across all non-GSIB specified CIDIs
(484).
Based on the above methodology,
FDIC estimates that the burden hours
per submission would be 57.6 hours per
billion dollars for Resolution Plan
Updates by GSIB specified CIDIs.18
Using assets reported on Call Reports for
the nine GSIB specified CIDIs, we

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 21, 2021 / Notices
estimate a total burden of 591,840 hours
for Resolution Plan Updates by GSIB
specified CIDIs, or an average of 65,760
hours per submission.19
Using the same methodology, FDIC
estimates that the burden hours per
submission to be 48 hours per billion
dollars for non-GSIB specified CIDIs.20
Using the assets reported on the latest
Call Report for the 22 non-GSIB
specified CIDIs, we estimate a total
burden of 249,840 hours for Resolution
Plan Updates by non-GSIB specified
CIDIs, or an average of 11,356 hours per
submission.21
Under the modified approach
described in the Statement, each
respondent is expected to prepare a
single submission in the upcoming
three-year renewal cycle, resulting in a
response rate of one in three years (or
1⁄3 per year). Because the OMB’s PRA
renewal system limits annual responses
to values greater than or equal to one,
however, FDIC uses an annual rate of
one response by both GSIB specified
CIDIs and non-GSIB specified CIDIs
(rather than 1⁄3). To estimate the annual
hourly burden incurred by a
respondent, we divide the estimated
burden hours per submission by three to
arrive at the estimated burden hours per
year. Thus, FDIC estimates that
Resolution Plan Updates by GSIB
specified CIDIs will incur 21,920 hours
per year 22 and Resolution Plan Updates
by non-GSIB specified CIDIs will incur
3,785.5 hours per year.23

Resolution Plans by New Filers
Of the set of potential respondents,
the FDIC estimates that two Specified
CIDIs will each submit a new Resolution
Plan (i.e., submit a plan for the first
time).24 To estimate the burden imposed
by the Rule under the modified
approach described in the Statement,
FDIC started with the methodology used
in the 2018 ICR. That methodology
assumed that IDIs that cross the $50
19 65,760 hours per submission = 591,840 hours
for nine submissions/9 submissions. 591,840 hours
= 57.6 hours per submission per billion dollars in
asset × $10,275 billion in assets, as reported in the
March 31, 2021 Call Report.
20 48 hours = (65 hours¥5 hours¥2 hours + 2
hours) × (100 percent¥20 percent).
21 11,356 hours per submission = 249,840 hours
for twenty-two submissions/22 submissions.
249,840 hours = 48 hours per submission per
billion dollars in asset × $5,205 billion in assets, as
reported in the March 31, 2021 Call Report. We
adjust the assets of one non-GSIB specified CIDI to
include the assets of the IDI that merged with it.
22 21,920 hours per year = 65,760 hours per
submission/3 years per submission.
23 3,785 hours per year = 11,356 hours per
submission/3 years per submission.
24 Based on FDIC Call Report Data, March 31,
2021, one specified CIDI has not previously
submitted a plan and two CIDIs will merge to
become a specified CIDI.

billion threshold will incur
approximately 7,200 hours to prepare
and submit their first resolution plan.
This estimate is substantially higher
than a comparative CIDI completing an
annual update due to the higher costs of
preparing a resolution plan for the first
time.25 Given that, under modified
approach described in the Statement,
the total asset threshold is $100 billion
in assets rather than $50 billion in
assets, as was the case in the 2018 ICR,
and the submission moratorium on
CIDIs with less than $100 billion in total
assets remains in place, the FDIC
believes that 14,400 hours (7,200 hours
× 2) is a reasonable and appropriate
estimate for the burden of first time
submissions under the Rule for
purposes of this IC. Furthermore, note
that the non-individual streamlined
content exemptions and engagement
changes described above, taken together,
reduce the estimated average burden
hours of Resolution Plan Updates by 7.7
percent.26 The FDIC believes that these
changes would also reduce the burden
of first time submissions by the same
percentage. Thus, FDIC estimates that
that each first time Resolution Plan
submission will take 13,292 hours to
prepare.27
As stated above, each respondent is
expected to prepare a single submission
in the upcoming three-year cycle,
resulting in a response rate equal to 1⁄3
per year. Because the OMB’s PRA
renewal system limits annual responses
to values greater than or equal to one,
however, FDIC uses an annual rate of
one response by New Filers. To estimate
the annual hourly burden incurred by a
respondent, FDIC divides the estimated
burden hours per submission by three to
arrive at the estimated burden hours per
year. Thus, FDIC estimates that
Resolution Plans by New Filers will
incur 4,430.7 hours per year.28
Notice of Material Change
According to the Rule, a CIDI shall
file with the FDIC a notice no later than
45 days after any event, occurrence,
change in conditions or circumstances
or other change that results in, or could
reasonably be foreseen to have, a
material effect on the resolution plan of
the CIDI.29 The 2018 ICR estimated one
annual respondent, two annual

27 13,292 hours = 14,400 × (100 percent¥7.7
percent).
28 4,430.7 hours per year = 13,292 hours per
submission/3 years per submission.

responses per respondent, and 120
hours of burden per response, for this
Notice of Material Change. The FDIC
believes that two annual respondents
each with one annual response per
respondent is a more reasonable and
appropriate estimate, and this estimate
reflects that change. Thus FDIC
estimates two annual respondents, one
annual response per respondent, and
120 hours of burden per response for the
line item Notice of Material Change.
Exemption Request
As described above, the Rule and the
Statement permit a specified CIDI to
seek exemptions from the informational
requirements of the Rule beyond those
described in the Statement or in the
letter from the FDIC to the specified
CIDI. Such a request should be in
writing and include a ‘‘description of
why the information would not be
useful or material to the FDIC . . . .’’ 30
Since the FDIC does not have access to
information that would enable it to
estimate how many institutions will
seek to submit an exemption request or
how long it would take to prepare such
a request, the FDIC uses placeholder
estimates of one such exemption request
and one burden hour to complete it.31
Thus FDIC estimates one annual
respondent, one annual response per
respondent, and one hour of burden per
response for the line item Exemption
Request.
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 collection of information
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.

See Statement at page 10.
The SMEs considered basing an estimate for a
§ 360.10 exemption request on the estimate of 20
burden hours recently used for an exemption
request under § 360.9. The SMEs ultimately
determined that the exemption requests under the
two provisions were unlikely to be analogous,
however, and that the breadth and variability of
§ 360.10 exemption requests made it impracticable
for the FDIC to develop a meaningful estimate
without additional information that is not currently
available.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected;
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses; and
5. Assess information collection costs.

improved survival. However, triazoleresistant A. fumigatus infections are
