    OMB Number: 3064-0179.

    Estimated Number of Respondents: 11.
    Estimated Time per Response: 80 hours.
    Frequency of Response: Annual.

FDIC.
    2. Title: Resolution Plans Required for Insured Depository 
Institutions With $50 Billion or More in Total Assets.
    OMB Number: 3064-0185.
    Affected Public: Large and highly complex depository institutions.

37.
    Frequency of Response: Once.
    Estimated Time per Response: 7,200 hours per respondent.

    General Description of Collection: This Rule requires an insured 
depository institution with $50 billion or more in total assets to 
submit periodically to the FDIC a contingent plan for the resolution of 
such institution in the event of its failure (``Resolution Plan''). The 
Rule requires a covered insured depository institution to submit a 
Resolution Plan that enables the FDIC, as receiver, to resolve the 
institution under sections 11 and 13 of the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Act, 12 U.S.C. 1821 and 1823, in a manner that ensures that depositors 
receive access to their insured deposits within one business day of the 
institution's failure (two business days if the failure occurs on a day 
other than Friday), maximizes the net present value return from the 
sale or disposition of its assets and minimizes the amount of any loss 
to be realized by the institution's creditors. The Rule seeks to 
address the continuing exposure of the banking industry to the risks of 
insolvency of large and complex insured depository institutions, an 
exposure that can be mitigated with proper resolution planning.

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 information 
collections 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 8th day of April 2015.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Executive Secretary.
