SUMMARY: In accordance with requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (``PRA''), 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 an existing information collection, as 
required by the PRA. On July 24, 2012 (77 FR 43283), the FDIC solicited 
public comment for a 60-day period on renewal of the following 
information collection: Public Disclosure by Banks (OMB No. 3064-0090). 
No comments were received. 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 November 30, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties are invited to submit written comments to 
the FDIC by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposal to renew the following currently 
approved collection of information:
    Title: Public Disclosure by Banks.
    OMB Number: 3064-0090.
    Frequency of Response: Annually.
    Affected Public: Insured state nonmember banks.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,485.
    Estimated Time per Response: 0.5 hour.
    Total Annual Burden: 2,243 hours.
    General Description: 12 CFR 350 requires a bank to notify the 
general public, and in some instances shareholders, that financial 
disclosure statements are available on request. Required disclosures 
consist of financial reports for the current and preceding year, which 
can be photocopied directly from the year-end call reports. Also, on a 
case-by-case basis, the FDIC may require that descriptions of 
enforcement actions be included in disclosure statements. The 
regulation allows, but does not require, the inclusion of management 
discussions and analysis.

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 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 26th day of September 2012.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Robert Feldman,
Executive Secretary.
