The total estimated annual burden is 215,207 hours, which is a reduction of 16,375 hours from the 2022 submission. This reduction is due to the decrease in the number of FDIC-supervised banks and the changes in methodology for ICs 5, 8, and 11 that resulted in decreased respondent counts for each of ICs 5, 8, and 11. 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. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Dated at Washington, DC, on October 27, 2025. Jennifer M. Jones, Deputy Executive Secretary.
