General Description of Collection

    Section 7(e)(3) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 
1817(e)(3)) (FDI Act), as amended by the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Reform Act of 2005, requires that the FDIC provide by regulation an 
initial, one-time assessment credit to each ``eligible'' insured 
depository institution (or its successor) based on the assessment base 
of the institution as of December 31, 1996, as compared to the combined 
aggregate assessment base of all eligible institutions as of that date, 
taking into account such other factors as the FDIC Board of Directors 
determines to be appropriate. The one-time credits must, with certain 
exceptions, be applied by the FDIC to the maximum extent allowed by law 
to the assessments imposed on such institution that become due for 
assessment periods beginning after the effective date of the one-time 
credit regulations until such time as the credit is exhausted. For 
assessments that become due for assessment periods beginning in fiscal 
years 2008, 2009, and 2010, the FDI Act provides that credits may not 
be applied to more than 90 percent of an institution's assessment.
    FDIC-insured institutions must notify the FDIC if their one-time 
assessment credit is transferred, e.g., through a sale of the credits 
or through a merger, so that the FDIC can accurately track such 
transfers, apply available credits appropriately against institutions' 
deposit insurance assessments, and determine an institution's 1996 
assessment base if the transaction involved both the base and the 
credit amount. The need for credit transfer information will expire 
when the credit pool has been exhausted.
    There is no change in the method or substance of the collection and 
the burden remains unchanged from the previous Paperwork Reduction Act 
submission.

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.

    Dated at Washington, DC, on August 2, 2018.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Executive Secretary.
