Download as PDF 47967 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 153 / Friday, August 7, 2020 / Notices Order, which adopted new rules to make available 280 megahertz of midband spectrum for flexible use through a Commission-administered public auction of overlay licenses, plus a 20 megahertz guard band, throughout the contiguous United States by transitioning existing services out of the lower portion and in to the upper 200 megahertz of the C-band. The 3.7 GHz Report and Order required eligible Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) space station operators to select, no later than July 31, 2020, a Relocation Coordinator that will be responsible for managing the overall transition and coordinating relocation actions among eligible FSS space station operators, incumbent FSS earth station operators, and new 3.7 GHz Service overlay licensees. The 3.7 GHz Report and Order required that the Relocation Coordinator ‘‘must be able to demonstrate that it has the requisite expertise to perform the duties required, which will include: (1) Coordinating the schedule for clearing the band; (2) performing engineering analysis, as necessary, to determine necessary earth station migration actions; (3) assigning obligations, as necessary, for earth station migrations and filtering; (4) coordinating with overlay licensees throughout the transition process; (5) assessing the completion of the transition in each PEA and determining overlay licensees’ ability to commence operations; and (6) mediating scheduling disputes.’’ On July 31, 2020, eligible space station operators announced that they had selected RSM US LLP (RSM) to serve as the Relocation Coordinator. We seek comment on whether RSM satisfies the criteria established by the Commission in the 3.7 GHz Report and Order. As directed by the Commission in the 3.7 GHz Report and Order, following the comment period, the Bureau will issue an order announcing whether the selection criteria have been satisfied. Should the Bureau be unable to find that the criteria have been satisfied, the 3.7 GHz Report and Order required that the selection process will start over and the search committee of eligible space station operators will submit a new proposed entity.

General Description of Collection: When an insured depository institution (‘‘IDI’’) is closed by its primary regulatory authority, the FDIC has the responsibility to pay the insured deposits pursuant to Section 11(a) and (f) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act), 12 U.S.C. 1821(a) and (f), and the FDIC’s regulations, ‘‘Deposit Insurance Coverage’’, 12 CFR part 330, and ‘‘Recordkeeping for Timely Deposit Insurance Determination’’, 12 CFR part 370. In the event that the requisite information is not available in a failed IDI’s records, the FDIC will utilize these forms, declarations and affidavits to request the necessary information from a depositor. Generally, deposits are insured to a maximum of $250,000. This maximum coverage is based on ‘‘ownership rights and capacities.’’ All deposits that are maintained in the same right and capacity are added together and insured up to $250,000 in accordance with the regulations relating to deposit insurance of that particular deposit insurance ownership category. Deposits held in different ownership categories are eligible for $250,000 coverage per category. For example, as a general rule, single ownership accounts are VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:25 Aug 06, 2020 Jkt 250001 Reporting Reporting Reporting Reporting Estimated number of respondents separately insured from trust accounts held for qualified beneficiaries. At the time of an IDI’s closing, the FDIC obtains information about customer accounts from the IDI’s deposit account records. Based on the IDI’s records, the FDIC makes determinations about insurance coverage for each depositor. Depositors deemed to be uninsured because their deposits are over $250,000 may qualify for additional insurance coverage if they can provide documentation substantiating eligibility. a. General Deposit Accounts. The forms, declarations, and affidavits in this collection facilitate customers providing the FDIC with the information that may permit a more comprehensive deposit insurance determination. b. Deposit Brokers. A failed IDI’s deposit account records may not reveal the actual owner(s) of a particular deposit account. Rather, the deposit account records may indicate that the deposit was placed at the insured institution by a deposit broker on behalf of one or more third parties. In some cases, the broker’s customer may not be an actual owner of the deposit but merely a ‘‘second-tier’’ deposit broker with its own customers. In turn, these customers could be ‘‘third-tier’’ deposit PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Frequency of response On On On On Occasion Occasion Occasion Occasion Total estimated annual burden ..... ..... ..... ..... 7 83 0.5 0.5 On Occasion .....

Deposits held in the name of a deposit broker on behalf of clients are covered by federal deposit insurance (up to the $250,000 limit) the same as if the broker’s clients had deposited the funds directly into the insured institution (assuming that the clients are the actual owners of the deposits). This is called ‘‘pass-through’’ deposit insurance coverage. In order to analyze ownership interest and provide pass-through insurance coverage, the FDIC must obtain certain information from both first- and lowertier deposit brokers: (1) Evidence that each deposit broker is not an owner but an agent or custodian with respect to some or all of the funds at issue; (2) a list of all parties for whom each deposit broker acted as agent or custodian; and (3) the dollar amount of funds held by each deposit broker for each such party as of the date of the IDI’s failure. There is no change in the substance or methodology of this information collection. The change in burden is due to the FDIC estimating one respondent for certain forms where FDIC previously estimated zero respondents. In the table above, one respondent is being used as a placeholder to preserve the burden E:\FR\FM\07AUN1.SGM 07AUN1 47969 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 153 / Friday, August 7, 2020 / Notices estimate for forms in case they come into use in the future. 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: When an insured depository 
institution (``IDI'') is closed by its primary regulatory authority, 
the FDIC has the responsibility to pay the insured deposits pursuant to 
Section 11(a) and (f) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act), 
12 U.S.C. 1821(a) and (f), and the FDIC's regulations, ``Deposit 
Insurance Coverage'', 12 CFR part 330, and ``Recordkeeping for Timely 
Deposit Insurance Determination'', 12 CFR part 370. In the event that 
the requisite information is not available in a failed IDI's records, 
the FDIC will utilize these forms, declarations and affidavits to 
request the necessary information from a depositor.
    Generally, deposits are insured to a maximum of $250,000. This 
maximum coverage is based on ``ownership rights and capacities.'' All 
deposits that are maintained in the same right and capacity are added 
together and insured up to $250,000 in accordance with the regulations 
relating to deposit insurance of that particular deposit insurance 
ownership category. Deposits held in different ownership categories are 
eligible for $250,000 coverage per category. For example, as a general 
rule, single ownership accounts are separately insured from trust 
accounts held for qualified beneficiaries.
    At the time of an IDI's closing, the FDIC obtains information about 
customer accounts from the IDI's deposit account records. Based on the 
IDI's records, the FDIC makes determinations about insurance coverage 
for each depositor. Depositors deemed to be uninsured because their 
deposits are over $250,000 may qualify for additional insurance 
coverage if they can provide documentation substantiating eligibility.
    a. General Deposit Accounts. The forms, declarations, and 
affidavits in this collection facilitate customers providing the FDIC 
with the information that may permit a more comprehensive deposit 
insurance determination.
    b. Deposit Brokers. A failed IDI's deposit account records may not 
reveal the actual owner(s) of a particular deposit account. Rather, the 
deposit account records may indicate that the deposit was placed at the 
insured institution by a deposit broker on behalf of one or more third 
parties. In some cases, the broker's customer may not be an actual 
owner of the deposit but merely a ``second-tier'' deposit broker with 
its own customers. In turn, these customers could be ``third-tier'' 
deposit brokers with their own customers. Deposits held in the name of 
a deposit broker on behalf of clients are covered by federal deposit 
insurance (up to the $250,000 limit) the same as if the broker's 
clients had deposited the funds directly into the insured institution 
(assuming that the clients are the actual owners of the deposits). This 
is called ``pass-through'' deposit insurance coverage.
    In order to analyze ownership interest and provide pass-through 
insurance coverage, the FDIC must obtain certain information from both 
first- and lower-tier deposit brokers: (1) Evidence that each deposit 
broker is not an owner but an agent or custodian with respect to some 
or all of the funds at issue; (2) a list of all parties for whom each 
deposit broker acted as agent or custodian; and (3) the dollar amount 
of funds held by each deposit broker for each such party as of the date 
of the IDI's failure.
    There is no change in the substance or methodology of this 
information collection. The change in burden is due to the FDIC 
estimating one respondent for certain forms where FDIC previously 
estimated zero respondents. In the table above, one respondent is being 
used as a placeholder to preserve the burden

estimate for forms in case they come into use in the future.

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.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
