General Description of Collection: The
collection requires insured state
nonmember banks to comply with the
Bank Protection Act and to review bank
security programs The Bank Protection
Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1881–1884)
requires each Federal supervisory
agency to promulgate rules establishing
minimum standards for security devices
and procedures to discourage financial
crime and to assist in the identification
of persons who commit such crimes. To
avoid the necessity of constantly
updating a technology-based regulation,
the FDIC takes a flexible approach to
implementing this statute. It requires
each insured nonmember bank to
designate a security officer who will
administer a written security program.
The security program must: (1) Establish
procedures for opening and closing for
business and for safekeeping valuables;
(2) establish procedures that will assist
in identifying persons committing
crimes against the bank; (3) provide for
initial and periodic training of
employees in their responsibilities
under the security program; and (4)
provide for selecting, testing, operating
and maintaining security devices as
prescribed in the regulation. In addition,
the FDIC requires the security officer to
report at least annually to the bank’s
board of directors on the effectiveness of
the security program.
There is no change in the method or
substance of the collection. The FDIC
estimates that the number of
respondents will decrease due to
economic fluctuations from 3,629 to
3,533. The annual burden for this
information collection is estimated to be
1,766.5 hours. This represents a

decrease of 48.5 hours from the current
burden estimate of 1,815 hours.
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments
submitted in response to this notice may
be made available to the public through
posting on a government website. For
this reason, please do not include in
your comments information of a
confidential nature, such as sensitive
personal information or proprietary
information. If you send an email
comment, your email address will be
automatically captured and included as
part of the comment that is placed in the
public docket and made available on the
internet. Please note that responses to
this public comment request containing
any routine notice about the
confidentiality of the communication
will be treated as public comments that
may be made available to the public
notwithstanding the inclusion of the
routine notice.
The proposed information collection
activity provides a means to garner
qualitative customer and stakeholder
feedback in an efficient, timely manner,
in accordance with the Administration’s
commitment to improving service
delivery. By qualitative feedback we
mean information that provides useful
insights on perceptions and opinions,
but are not statistical surveys that yield
quantitative results that can be
generalized to the population of study.
This feedback will provide insights into
customer or stakeholder perceptions,
experiences and expectations, provide
an early warning of issues with service,
or focus attention on areas where
communication, training or changes in
operations might improve delivery of
products or services. These collections
will allow for ongoing, collaborative and
actionable communications between the
Agency and its customers and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback
to contribute directly to the
improvement of program management.
The solicitation of feedback will target
areas such as: Timeliness,
appropriateness, accuracy of
information, courtesy, efficiency of
service delivery, and resolution of
issues with service delivery. Responses
will be assessed to plan and inform
efforts to improve or maintain the
quality of service offered to the public.
If this information is not collected, vital

feedback from customers and
stakeholders on the Agency’s services
will be unavailable.
The Agency will only submit a
collection for approval under this
generic clearance if it meets the
following conditions:
• The collections are voluntary;
• The collections are low-burden for
respondents (based on considerations of
total burden hours, total number of
respondents, or burden-hours per
respondent) and are low-cost for both
the respondents and the Federal
Government;
• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of
concern to other Federal agencies;
• Any collection is targeted to the
solicitation of opinions from
respondents who have experience with
the program or may have experience
with the program in the near future;
• Personally identifiable information
(PII) is collected only to the extent
necessary and is not retained;
• Information gathered is used only
internally for general service
improvement and program management
purposes and is not intended for release
outside of the agency;
• Information gathered is not used for
the purpose of substantially informing
influential policy decisions; and
• Information gathered yields
qualitative information; the collections
are not designed or expected to yield
statistically reliable results or used as
though the results are generalizable to
the population of study.
Feedback collected under this generic
clearance provides useful information,
but it does not yield data that can be
generalized to the overall population.
This type of generic clearance for
qualitative information will not be used
for quantitative information collections
that are designed to yield reliably
actionable results, such as monitoring
trends over time or documenting
program performance. Such data uses
require more rigorous designs that
address: The target population to which
generalizations will be made, the
sampling frame, the sample design
(including stratification and clustering),
the precision requirements or power
calculations that justify the proposed
sample size, the expected response rate,
methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data
collection, and any testing procedures
that were or will be undertaken prior to
fielding the study. Depending on the
degree of influence the results are likely
to have, such collections may still be
eligible for submission for other generic
mechanisms that are designed to yield
quantitative results.
