Recordkeeping......... 3,878 1 20 On Occasion........... 77,560 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Description of Collection: Institutions use real estate lending policies to guide their lending operations in a manner that is consistent with safe and sound banking practices and appropriate to their size and nature and scope of their operations. These policies should address certain lending considerations, including loan-to-value limits, loan administration policies, portfolio diversification standards, and [[Page 85563]] documentation, approval, and reporting requirements. 2. Title: Foreign Banking and Investment by Insured State Nonmember Banks. OMB Number: 3064-0125. Form Number: None. Affected Public: Insured State Nonmember Banks.

The FDI Act also authorizes the FDIC to impose conditions for such consent and to issue regulations related thereto. This collection is a direct consequence of those statutory requirements. 3. Title: Occasional Qualitative Surveys. OMB Number: 3064-0127. Form Number: None. Affected Public: Insured Depository Institutions and Their Customers. Burden Estimate: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimated Estimated Estimated time Total annual Type of burden number of number of per response Frequency of estimated respondents responses (hours) response burden (hours) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Occasional generic qualitative Reporting............. 850 15 1 On Occasion........... 12,750 surveys. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Description of Collection: The FDIC is requesting renewal of this approved collection to use occasional qualitative surveys to gather information from the public. In general, these surveys do not involve more than 850 respondents, do not require more than one hour per respondent, and are completely voluntary in nature. It is not contemplated that more than 15 such surveys will be conducted in any given year. The purpose of the surveys is, in general terms, to obtain anecdotal information about regulatory burden, problems or successes in the bank supervisory process (including both safety-and-soundness and consumer-related exams), the perceived need for regulatory or statutory change, and similar concerns. The information in these surveys is anecdotal in nature, that is, samples are not necessarily random, the results are not necessarily representative of a larger class of potential respondents, and the goal is not to produce a statistically valid and reliable database. Rather, the surveys are expected to yield anecdotal information about the particular experiences and opinions of members of the public, [[Page 85564]] primarily staff at respondent banks or bank customers. The information is used to improve the way FDIC relates to its clients, to develop agendas for regulatory or statutory change, and in some cases simply to learn how particular policies or programs are working, or are perceived in particular cases. 4. Title: Interagency Guidance on Sound Incentive Compensation Practices. OMB Number: 3064-0175. Form Number: None. Affected Public: Insured State Nonmember Banks and State Savings Associations. Burden Estimate: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimated Estimated Estimated time Total annual Type of burden number of number of per response Frequency of estimated respondents responses (hours) response burden (hours) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Annual maintenance of policies and Recordkeeping......... 3,878 1 40 Annual................ 155,120 procedures. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Description of Collection: The Guidance on Sound Incentive Compensation Practices helps ensure that incentive compensation policies at insured state nonmember banks and state savings associations do not encourage excessive risk-taking and are consistent with the safety and soundness of the organization. Under the Guidance, banks are required to: (i) Have policies and procedures that identify and describe the role(s) of the personnel and units authorized to be involved in incentive compensation arrangements, identify the source of significant risk-related inputs, establish appropriate controls governing these inputs to help ensure their integrity, and identify the individual(s) and unit(s) whose approval is necessary for the establishment or modification of incentive compensation arrangements; (ii) create and maintain sufficient documentation to permit an audit of the organization's processes for incentive compensation arrangements; (iii) have any material exceptions or adjustments to the incentive compensation arrangements established for senior executives approved and documented by its board of directors; and (iv) have its board of directors receive and review, on an annual or more frequent basis operation of the organization's incentive compensation system in providing risk-taking incentives that are consistent with the organization's safety and soundness. Request for Comment Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collections of information are 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 collections, 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 collections 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, this 22nd day of November 2016. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Robert E. Feldman, Executive Secretary.
