Delegated Authority the Extension for
Three Years, Without Revision, of the
Following Reports
1. Report title: Interagency Bank
Merger Act Application.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 177 / Friday, September 12, 2014 / Notices
Agency form number: FR 2070.
OMB control number: 7100–0171.
Frequency: On occasion.
Reporters: State member banks.
Estimated annual reporting hours:
Nonaffiliate Transactions: 1,680 hours;
Affiliate Transactions: 198 hours.
Estimated average hours per response:
Nonaffiliate Transactions: 30 hours;
Affiliate Transactions: 18 hours.
Number of respondents: Nonaffiliate
Transactions: 56; Affiliate Transactions:
11.
General description of report: This
information collection is required
pursuant to section 18(c) of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C.
1828(c)) and is not given confidential
treatment. However, applicants may
request that parts of a submitted
application be kept confidential. In such
cases, the burden is on the applicant to
justify the exemption by demonstrating
that disclosure would cause substantial
competitive harm or result in an
unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy or would otherwise qualify for
an exemption under the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). The
confidentiality status of the information
submitted will be judged on a case-bycase basis.
Abstract: The Federal Reserve, the
Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency, and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (the agencies)
each use this application form to collect
information for bank merger proposals
that require prior approval under the
Bank Merger Act. Prior approval is
required for every merger transaction
involving affiliated or nonaffiliated
institutions and must be sought from the
regulatory agency of the depository
institution that would survive the
proposed transaction. A merger
transaction may include a merger,
consolidation, assumption of deposit
liabilities, or certain asset-transfers
between or among two or more
institutions. The Federal Reserve
collects this information so that it may
meet its statutory obligation of
evaluating (with respect to every state
member bank merger proposal) the
competitive effects, the adequacy of the
financial and managerial resources of
the institutions involved, and the effect
on the convenience and needs of the
affected communities.
2. Report title: Interagency Notice of
Change in Bank Control, Interagency
Notice of Change in Director or Senior
Executive Officer, and Interagency
Biographical and Financial Report.
Agency form number: FR 2081a, FR
2081b, and FR 2081c.
OMB control number: 7100–0134.

shareholders.
Estimated annual reporting hours: FR
2081a: 5,040 hours; FR 2081b: 618
hours; FR 2081c: 6,680 hours.
Estimated average hours per response:
FR 2081a: 30 hours; FR 2081b: 2 hours;
FR 2081c: 4 hours.
Number of respondents: FR 2081a:
168; FR 2081b: 309; FR 2081c: 1,670.
General description of report: The FR
2081a and FR 2081c are mandatory
pursuant to section 7(j) of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C.
1817(j)). The FR 2081b and FR 2081c are
mandatory pursuant to section 914 of
the Financial Institutions Reform,
Recovery, and Enforcement Act (12
U.S.C. 1831(i)). This information
collection is not given confidential
treatment. The organizations and
individuals that use the forms may
request that all or a portion of the
submitted information be kept
confidential. In such cases, the burden
is on the filer to justify the exemption
by demonstrating that disclosure would
cause substantial competitive harm or
result in an unwarranted invasion of
personal privacy or would otherwise
qualify for an exemption under the
Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C.
552). The confidentiality status of the
information submitted will be
determined on a case-by-case basis.
Abstract: The information collected
assists the Federal Reserve, the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency, and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(the agencies) in fulfilling their statutory
responsibilities as supervisors. Each of
these forms is used to collect
information in connection with
applications and notices filed prior to
proposed changes in the ownership or
management of banking organizations.
The agencies use the information to
evaluate the controlling owners, senior
officers, and directors of the insured
depository institutions subject to their
oversight. The information collected in
an Interagency Notice of Change in Bank
Control (FR 2081a) submitted to the
Federal Reserve is provided by persons
proposing to make significant
investments in a BHC or SMB. The
information collected in the Interagency
Notice of Change in Director or Senior
Executive Officer (FR 2081b) is required
under Section 914 of the Financial
Institutions Reform, Recovery, and
Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) and
is submitted to the Federal Reserve
(under certain circumstances) by a BHC
or SMB making changes in its board of
directors or senior executive officers.

that is used to gather required
information about the individuals
involved in various applications and
notices.
