The overall reduction in burden hours is a result of economic fluctuation. In particular, the number of respondents has decreased while the reporting frequency and the estimated time per response remain the same. General Description of Collection: The 1975 Amendments to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 established a comprehensive framework for the regulation of the activities of municipal securities dealers. Under Section 15B(a) of the Securities Exchange Act, municipal securities dealers which are banks, or separately identifiable departments or divisions of banks engaging in municipal securities activities, are required to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with such rules as the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB), a rulemaking authority established by the 1975 Amendments, may prescribe as necessary or appropriate in the public interest or for the protection of investors. One of the areas in which the Act directed the MSRB to promulgate rules is the qualifications of persons associated with municipal securities dealers as municipal securities principals and municipal securities representatives. The MSRB Rules require persons who are or seek to be associated with municipal securities dealers as municipal securities principals or municipal securities representatives to provide certain background information and conversely, require the municipal securities dealers to obtain the information from such persons. Generally, the information required to be furnished relates to employment history and professional background including any disciplinary sanctions and any claimed bases for exemption from MSRB examination requirements. The FDIC and the other two Federal bank regulatory agencies, the Number of respondents Source and burden type sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES Form 6342/12 Reporting ................................................... There is no change in the method or substance of the collection. There is an overall reduction in burden hours which is the result of (1) economic fluctuation reflected by a decrease in the number of FDIC-supervised institutions and (2) a decrease in the number of requests for deregistration of a registered transfer agent forms submitted to the FDIC. General Description of Collection: Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78q–1), an insured nonmember bank (or a subsidiary of such a bank) that functions as a transfer agent may withdraw from registration as a transfer agent by filing a written notice of withdrawal with the FDIC. The FDIC requires such banks to file FDIC Form 6342/12 as the written notice of withdrawal.

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. PO 00000 Comptroller of the Currency, and the Federal Reserve Board, have prescribed Forms MSD–4 to satisfy these requirements and have prescribed Form MSD–5 for notification by a bank municipal securities dealer that a municipal securities principal’s or a municipal securities representative’s association with the dealer has terminated and the reason for such termination. State nonmember banks and state savings associations that are municipal security dealers submit these forms, as applicable, to the FDIC as their appropriate regulatory agency for each person associated with the dealer as a municipal securities principal or municipal securities representative. 2.

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. Institutions offering EFT services must disclose to consumers certain information, including: initial and updated EFT terms, transaction information, the consumer’s potential liability for unauthorized transfers, and error resolution rights and procedures. 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. The disclosures are intended to alert customers that their ability to use deposited funds may be delayed, prevent unintentional (and costly) overdrafts, and allow customers to compare the policies of different institutions before deciding at which institution to deposit funds. Depository institutions must also provide an awareness disclosure regarding substitute checks. The regulation also requires notice to the depositary bank and to a customer of nonpayment of a check. Regulation DD also has similar consumer protection disclosure VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:14 Dec 27, 2017 Jkt 244001 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. Depository institutions that provide periodic statements are required to include information about fees imposed, interest earned, and the annual percentage yield (APY) earned during those statement periods. It also contains rules about advertising deposit accounts. There is no change in the method or substance of the collection. The overall reduction in burden hours is the result of economic fluctuation and the reduced number of FDIC-supervised institutions since the last submission in 2014. In particular, the number of respondents has decreased while the hours per response and frequency of responses have remained the same. 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.

    General Description of Collection: Regulations E & DD (Consumer 
Financial Protection Bureau's Regulations) and Regulation CC (the 
Federal Reserve's Regulation) ensure adequate disclosures regarding 
accounts, including electronic fund transfer services, availability of 
funds, and fees and annual percentage yield for deposit accounts. 
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. Institutions offering EFT 
services must disclose to consumers certain information, including: 
initial and updated EFT terms, transaction information, the consumer's 
potential liability for unauthorized transfers, and error resolution 
rights and procedures.
    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. The 
disclosures are intended to alert customers that their ability to use 
deposited funds may be delayed, prevent unintentional (and costly) 
overdrafts, and allow customers to compare the policies of different 
institutions before deciding at which institution to deposit funds. 
Depository institutions must also provide an awareness disclosure 
regarding substitute checks. The regulation also requires notice to the 
depositary bank and to a customer of nonpayment of a check.
    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. Depository institutions that 
provide periodic statements are required to include information about 
fees imposed, interest earned, and the annual percentage yield (APY) 
earned during those statement periods. It also contains rules about 
advertising deposit accounts.
    There is no change in the method or substance of the collection. 
The overall reduction in burden hours is the result of economic 
fluctuation and the reduced number of FDIC-supervised institutions 
since the last submission in 2014. In particular, the number of 
respondents has decreased while the hours per response and frequency of 
responses have remained the same.
    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.

    Dated at Washington, DC, on December 22, 2017.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Assistant Executive Secretary.
