The FDIC anticipates that products developed as part of innovation pilot programs will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of bank operations, and eventually, examinations, while increasing transparency and ultimately reducing the cost of regulatory compliance for participating institutions. In addition, the FDIC anticipates that proposals provided in connection with the innovation pilot programs will involve cutting-edge innovations and novel approaches or applications involving a banking product, service, system, or activity that benefits and can lead to better outcomes for consumers. As part of an innovation pilot program, innovators may request information from banks and other members of the public outside of their normal course of business. Any information provided by banks and other members of the public will be provided on a voluntary basis. FDIC staff may similarly request information on a voluntary basis from banks or other members of the public to evaluate the products or services developed in the pilot programs. This information is intended to allow banks and the FDIC to analyze the health of the overall banking system, critical financial sectors, or national, regional or local economic conditions (i.e., horizontal analysis). Additionally, bank specific information may be collected in order to allow for better insights into current and escalating risks across all aspects of banking. In particular, innovators may request from banks and other members of the public general ledger information about all products and services, or a subset of products and services, systems or activities. Information requested will not contain any personally identifiable information (PII) as defined in OMB Circular A–130 or include the disclosure of any financial records or information which is identified with or identifiable as being derived from the financial records of a particular customer. The annual burden for this information collection is estimated to be 40,000 hours. This represents an increase of hours from the current burden estimate and also a change in focus. In particular, when this information collection was first obtained, it included the burden imposed on the innovators and partner banks. In review of this information collection, the FDIC has decided to VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:55 Nov 26, 2021 Jkt 256001 transfer the burden imposed on innovators to existing information collection 3064–0072 entitled, ‘‘Acquisition Services Information Requirements,’’ which is related to the FDIC’s procurement process. The remaining hours in this information collection, which have been updated and increased, reflect the burden imposed on banks and other members of the public in connection with innovation pilot programs.

    General Description of Collection: The FDIC seeks to engage and 
collaborate with innovators in the financial, non-financial, and 
technology sectors to, among other things, identify, develop and 
promote technology-driven innovations among community and other banks 
in a manner that ensures the safety and soundness of FDIC-supervised 
and -insured institutions. An innovation pilot program framework will 
provide a regulatory environment in which the FDIC, in conjunction with 
individual proposals collected from innovators, will provide tailored

[[Page 67710]]

regulatory and supervisory assistance, when appropriate, to facilitate 
the testing of innovative and advanced technologies, products, 
services, systems, or activities.
    The FDIC anticipates that products developed as part of innovation 
pilot programs will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of bank 
operations, and eventually, examinations, while increasing transparency 
and ultimately reducing the cost of regulatory compliance for 
participating institutions. In addition, the FDIC anticipates that 
proposals provided in connection with the innovation pilot programs 
will involve cutting-edge innovations and novel approaches or 
applications involving a banking product, service, system, or activity 
that benefits and can lead to better outcomes for consumers.
    As part of an innovation pilot program, innovators may request 
information from banks and other members of the public outside of their 
normal course of business. Any information provided by banks and other 
members of the public will be provided on a voluntary basis. FDIC staff 
may similarly request information on a voluntary basis from banks or 
other members of the public to evaluate the products or services 
developed in the pilot programs. This information is intended to allow 
banks and the FDIC to analyze the health of the overall banking system, 
critical financial sectors, or national, regional or local economic 
conditions (i.e., horizontal analysis). Additionally, bank specific 
information may be collected in order to allow for better insights into 
current and escalating risks across all aspects of banking. In 
particular, innovators may request from banks and other members of the 
public general ledger information about all products and services, or a 
subset of products and services, systems or activities. Information 
requested will not contain any personally identifiable information 
(PII) as defined in OMB Circular A-130 or include the disclosure of any 
financial records or information which is identified with or 
identifiable as being derived from the financial records of a 
particular customer.
    The annual burden for this information collection is estimated to 
be 40,000 hours. This represents an increase of hours from the current 
burden estimate and also a change in focus. In particular, when this 
information collection was first obtained, it included the burden 
imposed on the innovators and partner banks. In review of this 
information collection, the FDIC has decided to transfer the burden 
imposed on innovators to existing information collection 3064-0072 
entitled, ``Acquisition Services Information Requirements,'' which is 
related to the FDIC's procurement process. The remaining hours in this 
information collection, which have been updated and increased, reflect 
the burden imposed on banks and other members of the public in 
connection with innovation pilot programs.

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 estimate 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.
