SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Proposal To Renew the Following Currently-Approved Collection of 
Information

    Title: Account Based Disclosures in Connection with Federal Reserve 
Regulations E, CC, and DD.
    OMB Number: 3064-0084.
    Affected Public: Insured financial institutions.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours:
    Regulation E: 2,664,895 hours.
    Regulation CC: 471,551 hours.
    Regulation DD: 325,398 hours.
    Total Estimated Burden Hours: 3,461,844 hours.
    General Description of Collection: The FDIC's OMB-approved 
collection provides for the application of the information collection 
requirements of three FRB rules to state nonmember banks. The three 
rules are:
     Regulation E (``Electronic Fund Transfers,'' 12 CFR Part 
205);
     Regulation CC (``Availability of Funds,'' 12 CFR Part 
229); and
     Regulation DD (``Truth in Savings,'' 12 CFR Part 230).
    Generally, the Regulation E disclosures are designed to ensure 
consumers receive adequate disclosure of basic terms, costs, and rights 
relating to electronic fund transfer (EFT) services provided to them so 
that they can make informed decisions. Like Regulation E, Regulation CC 
has consumer protection disclosure requirements. Specifically, 
Regulation CC requires depository institutions to make funds deposited 
in transaction accounts available within specified time periods, 
disclose their availability policies to customers, and begin accruing 
interest on such deposits promptly.

[[Page 69117]]

    Regulation DD also has similar consumer protection disclosure 
requirements that are intended to assist consumers in comparing deposit 
accounts offered by institutions, principally through the disclosure of 
fees, the annual percentage yield, and other account terms. Regulation 
DD requires depository institutions to disclose yields, fees, and other 
terms concerning deposit accounts to consumers at account opening, upon 
request, and when changes in terms occur.

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 information 
collection 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 14th day of November, 2014.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Robert E. Feldman,
Executive Secretary.
