storage capacity of greater than or equal
to 42,000 gallons; or (2) the facility’s
total oil storage capacity is greater than
or equal to one million gallons and one
or more of the following harm factors
are met: Insufficient secondary
containment for aboveground storage
tanks at the facility; a discharge of oil
could cause injury to fish and wildlife
and sensitive environments; a discharge
of oil could shut down a drinking water
intake; the facility has experienced a
reportable oil discharge of 10,000
gallons or more in the last 5 years; or
other factors considered by the Regional
Administrator (see 40 CFR 112.20(a)(2),
(b)(1), (f)(1) and (f)(2) for further
information).
The purpose of an FRP is to help an
owner or operator identify the necessary
resources to respond to an oil discharge
in a timely manner. If implemented
effectively, the FRP will reduce the
impact and severity of oil discharges
and may prevent discharges because of
the identification of risks at the facility.
Although the owner or operator is the
primary data user, EPA also uses the
data in certain situations to ensure that
facilities comply with the regulation
and to help allocate response resources.
State and local governments may use
the data, which are not generally
available elsewhere, and can greatly
assist local emergency preparedness
planning efforts. The EPA reviews all
submitted FRPs and must approve FRPs
for those facilities whose discharges
may cause significant and substantial
harm to the environment to ensure that
facilities believed to pose the highest
risk have planned for adequate
resources and procedures to respond to
oil discharges (See 40 CFR 112.20(f)(3)
for further information about the criteria
for significant and substantial harm.).
No information collected under the FRP
rule is expected to be confidential. One
of the criteria necessary for information
to be classified as ‘‘proprietary business
information’’ (40 CFR 2.208) is that a
business must show that it has
previously taken reasonable measures to
protect the confidentiality of the
information and that it intends to
continue to take such measures. EPA
provides no assurances of
confidentiality to facility owners or
operators when they file their FRPs.
The burden estimates, numbers and

General Description of Collection:
This information collection involves the
submission of various forms by (1)
contractors who wish to do business
with the FDIC or are currently under
contract with the FDIC; (2) those
vendors and parties participating in
innovation pilot programs and prize
competitions with the possibility of
being awarded a contract; and (3)
government agencies or commercial
businesses that provide FDIC with past
performance information. There is no
change in the method or substance of
the collection. However, the FDIC has
amended this submission to account for
the burdens associated with vendors
and parties participating in innovation
pilot programs and prize competitions.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12
U.S.C. Section 1819) empowers the
FDIC to enter into contracts using
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:41 Nov 09, 2021
Jkt 256001
private sector contractors to provide
goods or services. The Act also provides
that the FDIC may promulgate policies
and procedures to administer the
powers granted to it, including the
power to enter into contracts. Pursuant
to such policies, the Acquisition and
Corporate Services Branch of the FDIC’s
Division of Administration has
developed forms and clauses to
facilitate the procurement of goods and
services from private sector contractors.
The information collected through these
forms and clauses fall under the
definition of collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (PRA).
During the review of the renewal of
this Acquisition Services Information
Requirements information collection,
FDIC determined that portions of the
PRA burdens that are currently under

the information collection entitled
Innovation Pilot Programs. (OMB No.
3064–0212) should be transferred to this
information collection (OMB No. 3064–
0072). OMB No. 3064–0212 involves the
collection of information from third
parties (banks and firms in partnership
with banks) who are invited to
voluntarily propose time-limited pilot
programs, which will be collected and
considered by the FDIC on a case-bycase basis. FDIC has determined that the
burdens associated with OMB No.
3064–0212 that contain the possibility
of entering into a contract with the FDIC
should be transferred to OMB No. 3064–
0072. To avoid duplication of burden
hours, OMB No. 3064–0212 will be
separately amended to only contain the
burden on IDIs and third parties that are
involved in the various projects that
third parties may engage in. FDIC

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
determined that OMB No. 3064–0072
should include the burden involved
with the preparation and submission of
applications to participate in FDICsponsored or co-sponsored prize
competitions if the outcome of those
prize competitions includes the
possibility of entering into a contract
with the FDIC. These burdens are
similar to the burdens currently under
the IC entitled Generic Clearance for
Prize Competition Participation (OMB
No. 3064–0211). However, OMB No.
3064–0211 contains and will continue
to contain those burdens associated
with prize competitions whose
outcomes do not include the possibility
of a entering into a contract with the
FDIC.
New Burden: Prize Competitions—
Estimated Number of Respondents,
Responses and Hourly Burdens
As described above, this ICR adds to
OMB No. 3064–0072 the burdens
involved with the preparation and
submission of applications to
participate in FDIC-sponsored or cosponsored prize competitions if the
outcomes of those prize competitions
include the possibility of entering into
a contract with the FDIC. The
information associated with this burden
are collected from potential and actual
participants (including technologists,
coders, engineers and developers;
consumers of financial services;
consumer advocates; academics;
members of trade groups and other
associations; individuals connected to
financial institutions, community banks,
and financial and bank service and
technology providers; software, data,
and technology firms; and other
members of the public) of those prize
competitions. The FDIC collects
information from respondents during
both an application phase and during a
proposal phase.
1. Application Phase: The FDIC has
never conducted a prize competition
where outcomes included the
possibility of entering into a contract
with the FDIC. FDIC anticipates that
approximately 100 applications would
be received if the FDIC were to initiate
such a prize competition. For the
purposes of this ICR, FDIC assumes that
each application is submitted by a
distinct respondent. Thus, in the above
burden table, for the line item Prize
Competition—Application, FDIC
assumes that the number of responses
per respondent is one and use a
respondent count of 100 per year.
In order for the FDIC to determine
which applicants will be eligible and
selected to participate in FDIC prize
competitions, the FDIC will request that
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:41 Nov 09, 2021
Jkt 256001
potential participants provide their
name, contact information, address, and
such other information that may be
necessary to evaluate applicants’
qualifications and ability to participate
in the event as well as to match the
applicants’ anticipated role to the needs
of the competition. Applicants will also
be asked to acknowledge the terms and
conditions of participating in the prize
competition. Based on their experience
with previous prize competitions, FDIC
estimates that respondents will spend,
on average, one hour to prepare and
submit an application.
2. Proposal Phase: Certain
participants in these prize competitions
may be invited to present a contract
proposal to be considered by the FDIC.
Should such a prize competition occur,
FDIC assumes that it would receive five
contract proposals per year. For the
purposes of this ICR, FDIC assumes that
each proposal is submitted by a distinct
respondent. Thus, for the line item Prize
Competition—Proposal, FDIC assumes
that the number of responses per
respondent is one and use a respondent
count of five per year.
Based on experience with previous
prize competitions, FDIC expects that
respondents will spend, on average, 60
hours to prepare and submit a proposal.
Thus, for the line item Prize
Competition—Proposal, FDIC estimates
a time burden of 60 hours per response.
Transferred Burden From OMB No.
3064–0212: Innovation Pilot Program—
Estimated Number of Respondents,
Responses and Hourly Burdens
As described above, this ICR transfers
the burdens that contain the possibility
of entering into a contract with the FDIC
from OMB No. 3064–0212 to OMB No.
3064–0072. The information associated
with this burden are collected from
innovators who are invited to
voluntarily propose time-limited pilot
programs. The program is typically
conducted in four phases, with a
declining number of companies
advancing at each phase. The FDIC
provides fixed monetary awards for the
successful completion of some of these
phases. In order to evaluate potential
contractors, the FDIC collects
information from respondents twice:
During an application phase and during
a proposal phase.
1. Application Phase: The FDIC issues
a call for concept papers as a general
solicitation. Interested parties respond
by submitting concept papers, thus
becoming offerors. The FDIC then
subjectively assesses those papers to
determine its confidence in the
prospective merits of those concept
papers as well as the FDIC’s confidence
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
in the offeror’s apparent ability to
transform concepts into real-world
solutions. FDIC used its experience with
the first Innovation Pilot Program 1 to
estimate that 50 concept papers are
submitted to the FDIC in response to a
call. Although one company could
submit multiple concept papers to one
call, or different concept papers to
different calls, the FDIC considers a
concept paper submission for each call
to be from a distinct respondent. The
FDIC anticipates issuing three calls per
year. Thus, for purposes of this
information collection item, FDIC
estimates 150 respondents per year and
one response per respondent per year.
FDIC believes that the hourly burden
for preparing concept papers to be
similar to that of RFPs. However, the
applications for pilot programs are
usually more extensive than the average
RFP. Based on the hourly burden
estimated for RFPs, FDIC estimates that
each application will take 20 hours to
prepare and submit. Thus, for the line
item Innovation Pilot Program—
Application, FDIC estimates a time
burden of 20 hours per response.
2. Proposal Phase: During a pilot
program, all contractors who are
participating will provide an initial
summary of the terms and conditions
(including price, deliverables,
intellectual property rights, and so
forth) it contemplates proposing for a
follow-on pilot. The FDIC may provide
feedback to the contractor and
contractors may resubmit their proposal
one or more times based on feedback
received. Based on their experience
with rapid Phase Prototyping (RPP),
FDIC estimates that approximately 60
percent of applications received in
response to calls for concept papers, or
90 applications per year,2 will be
invited to submit contract proposal. As
above, the FDIC assumes each response
to be from a distinct respondent. Thus,
for the line item Innovation Pilot
Program—Proposal, FDIC estimates 90
respondents per year and one response
per respondent per year.
FDIC believes that, given the iterative
nature of the RPP process, it is likely
1 The first Innovation Pilot Program, Rapid
Phased Prototyping (RPP), began in August 2020.
Details for RPP can be found at https://
www.fdic.gov/fditech/rpp.html (last accessed
September 30, 2021). The proposal submission
phase for RPP is expected to finish in 2021. The
FDIC received 35 applications for RPP; FDIC
conservatively estimates 50 responses per pilot
program to account for the fact that future
collections could receive increased interest. The
FDIC also anticipates holding up to three pilots a
year, for a total of 150 estimated applications per
year.
2 90 contract proposals = 50 application per call
* 3 calls per year * 60%.
E:\FR\FM\10NON1.SGM
10NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 215 / Wednesday, November 10, 2021 / Notices
that contractors will go through
multiple iterations of contract
proposals. FDIC assumes that each
respondent will have to revise their
submission twice, on average. In
addition, these contract proposals
include pricing, terms, and conditions,
which will require more time than the
concept papers. Given these differences,
FDIC estimates that each response to an
Innovation Pilot Program—Proposal will
take 60 hours to prepare and submit.

General Description of Collection: This information collection
involves the submission of various forms by (1) contractors who wish to
do business with the FDIC or are currently under contract with the
FDIC; (2) those vendors and parties participating in innovation pilot
programs and prize competitions with the possibility of being awarded a
contract; and (3) government agencies or commercial businesses that
provide FDIC with past performance information. There is no change in
the method or substance of the collection. However, the FDIC has
amended this submission to account for the burdens associated with
vendors and parties participating in innovation pilot programs and
prize competitions.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. Section 1819) empowers
the FDIC to enter into contracts using private sector contractors to
provide goods or services. The Act also provides that the FDIC may
promulgate policies and procedures to administer the powers granted to
it, including the power to enter into contracts. Pursuant to such
policies, the Acquisition and Corporate Services Branch of the FDIC's
Division of Administration has developed forms and clauses to
facilitate the procurement of goods and services from private sector
contractors. The information collected through these forms and clauses
fall under the definition of collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA).
During the review of the renewal of this Acquisition Services
Information Requirements information collection, FDIC determined that
portions of the PRA burdens that are currently under the information
collection entitled Innovation Pilot Programs. (OMB No. 3064-0212)
should be transferred to this information collection (OMB No. 3064-
0072). OMB No. 3064-0212 involves the collection of information from
third parties (banks and firms in partnership with banks) who are
invited to voluntarily propose time-limited pilot programs, which will
be collected and considered by the FDIC on a case-by-case basis. FDIC
has determined that the burdens associated with OMB No. 3064-0212 that
contain the possibility of entering into a contract with the FDIC
should be transferred to OMB No. 3064-0072. To avoid duplication of
burden hours, OMB No. 3064-0212 will be separately amended to only
contain the burden on IDIs and third parties that are involved in the
various projects that third parties may engage in. FDIC
[[Page 62532]]
determined that OMB No. 3064-0072 should include the burden involved
with the preparation and submission of applications to participate in
FDIC-sponsored or co-sponsored prize competitions if the outcome of
those prize competitions includes the possibility of entering into a
contract with the FDIC. These burdens are similar to the burdens
currently under the IC entitled Generic Clearance for Prize Competition
Participation (OMB No. 3064-0211). However, OMB No. 3064-0211 contains
and will continue to contain those burdens associated with prize
competitions whose outcomes do not include the possibility of a
entering into a contract with the FDIC.
New Burden: Prize Competitions--Estimated Number of Respondents,
Responses and Hourly Burdens
As described above, this ICR adds to OMB No. 3064-0072 the burdens
involved with the preparation and submission of applications to
participate in FDIC-sponsored or co-sponsored prize competitions if the
outcomes of those prize competitions include the possibility of
entering into a contract with the FDIC. The information associated with
this burden are collected from potential and actual participants
(including technologists, coders, engineers and developers; consumers
of financial services; consumer advocates; academics; members of trade
groups and other associations; individuals connected to financial
institutions, community banks, and financial and bank service and
technology providers; software, data, and technology firms; and other
members of the public) of those prize competitions. The FDIC collects
information from respondents during both an application phase and
during a proposal phase.
1. Application Phase: The FDIC has never conducted a prize
competition where outcomes included the possibility of entering into a
contract with the FDIC. FDIC anticipates that approximately 100
applications would be received if the FDIC were to initiate such a
prize competition. For the purposes of this ICR, FDIC assumes that each
application is submitted by a distinct respondent. Thus, in the above
burden table, for the line item Prize Competition--Application, FDIC
assumes that the number of responses per respondent is one and use a
respondent count of 100 per year.
In order for the FDIC to determine which applicants will be
eligible and selected to participate in FDIC prize competitions, the
FDIC will request that potential participants provide their name,
contact information, address, and such other information that may be
necessary to evaluate applicants' qualifications and ability to
participate in the event as well as to match the applicants'
anticipated role to the needs of the competition. Applicants will also
be asked to acknowledge the terms and conditions of participating in
the prize competition. Based on their experience with previous prize
competitions, FDIC estimates that respondents will spend, on average,
one hour to prepare and submit an application.
2. Proposal Phase: Certain participants in these prize competitions
may be invited to present a contract proposal to be considered by the
FDIC. Should such a prize competition occur, FDIC assumes that it would
receive five contract proposals per year. For the purposes of this ICR,
FDIC assumes that each proposal is submitted by a distinct respondent.
Thus, for the line item Prize Competition--Proposal, FDIC assumes that
the number of responses per respondent is one and use a respondent
count of five per year.
Based on experience with previous prize competitions, FDIC expects
that respondents will spend, on average, 60 hours to prepare and submit
a proposal. Thus, for the line item Prize Competition--Proposal, FDIC
estimates a time burden of 60 hours per response.
Transferred Burden From OMB No. 3064-0212: Innovation Pilot Program--
Estimated Number of Respondents, Responses and Hourly Burdens
As described above, this ICR transfers the burdens that contain the
possibility of entering into a contract with the FDIC from OMB No.
3064-0212 to OMB No. 3064-0072. The information associated with this
burden are collected from innovators who are invited to voluntarily
propose time-limited pilot programs. The program is typically conducted
in four phases, with a declining number of companies advancing at each
phase. The FDIC provides fixed monetary awards for the successful
completion of some of these phases. In order to evaluate potential
contractors, the FDIC collects information from respondents twice:
During an application phase and during a proposal phase.
1. Application Phase: The FDIC issues a call for concept papers as
a general solicitation. Interested parties respond by submitting
concept papers, thus becoming offerors. The FDIC then subjectively
assesses those papers to determine its confidence in the prospective
merits of those concept papers as well as the FDIC's confidence in the
offeror's apparent ability to transform concepts into real-world
solutions. FDIC used its experience with the first Innovation Pilot
Program \1\ to estimate that 50 concept papers are submitted to the
FDIC in response to a call. Although one company could submit multiple
concept papers to one call, or different concept papers to different
calls, the FDIC considers a concept paper submission for each call to
be from a distinct respondent. The FDIC anticipates issuing three calls
per year. Thus, for purposes of this information collection item, FDIC
estimates 150 respondents per year and one response per respondent per
year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The first Innovation Pilot Program, Rapid Phased Prototyping
(RPP), began in August 2020. Details for RPP can be found at https://www.fdic.gov/fditech/rpp.html (last accessed September 30, 2021).
The proposal submission phase for RPP is expected to finish in 2021.
The FDIC received 35 applications for RPP; FDIC conservatively
estimates 50 responses per pilot program to account for the fact
that future collections could receive increased interest. The FDIC
also anticipates holding up to three pilots a year, for a total of
150 estimated applications per year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
FDIC believes that the hourly burden for preparing concept papers
to be similar to that of RFPs. However, the applications for pilot
programs are usually more extensive than the average RFP. Based on the
hourly burden estimated for RFPs, FDIC estimates that each application
will take 20 hours to prepare and submit. Thus, for the line item
Innovation Pilot Program--Application, FDIC estimates a time burden of
20 hours per response.
2. Proposal Phase: During a pilot program, all contractors who are
participating will provide an initial summary of the terms and
conditions (including price, deliverables, intellectual property
rights, and so forth) it contemplates proposing for a follow-on pilot.
The FDIC may provide feedback to the contractor and contractors may
resubmit their proposal one or more times based on feedback received.
Based on their experience with rapid Phase Prototyping (RPP), FDIC
estimates that approximately 60 percent of applications received in
response to calls for concept papers, or 90 applications per year,\2\
will be invited to submit contract proposal. As above, the FDIC assumes
each response to be from a distinct respondent. Thus, for the line item
Innovation Pilot Program--Proposal, FDIC estimates 90 respondents per
year and one response per respondent per year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ 90 contract proposals = 50 application per call * 3 calls
per year * 60%.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
FDIC believes that, given the iterative nature of the RPP process,
it is likely
[[Page 62533]]
that contractors will go through multiple iterations of contract
proposals. FDIC assumes that each respondent will have to revise their
submission twice, on average. In addition, these contract proposals
include pricing, terms, and conditions, which will require more time
than the concept papers. Given these differences, FDIC estimates that
each response to an Innovation Pilot Program--Proposal will take 60
hours to prepare and submit.
