in 1.9 GHz and 2.1 GHz bands that were
allocated for emerging technologies
were permitted to retain primary status
for certain minor modifications if they
affirmatively justified primary status
and established that the modification
would not add to the relocation costs of
ET licensees. Based on this precedent,
under the instant freeze, incumbents
with primary status will be permitted to
make the following modifications on a
primary basis to any future ET licensees
if the incumbent licensee establishes
that the modification would not add to
any relocation costs, if applicable in the
future:
• earth stations: modifications not
requiring prior Commission
authorization,12
• BAS, CARS, and Fixed Microwave
stations: minor modifications.13
The appropriate Bureau will consider
requests for waiver of this freeze on a
case-by-case basis and upon a
demonstration that waiver will serve the
public interest and not undermine the
objectives of the freeze.

registration in such form and containing
such information and documents . . . as
such appropriate regulatory agency may
prescribe as necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of this
section.’’ In general, an entity
performing transfer agent functions for a
security is required to register with its
appropriate regulatory agency if the
security is registered on a national
securities exchange or if the issuer of
the security has total assets exceeding
$10 million and a class of equity
security held of record by 2,000 persons
or, for an issuer that is not a bank, BHC,
or SLHC, by 500 persons who are not
accredited investors. The Federal
Reserve Board of Governors’ Regulation
H (12 CFR 208.31(a)) and Regulation Y
(12 CFR 225.4(d)), the OCC’s 12 CFR
9.20, and the FDIC’s 12 CFR part 341

discusses major actions in the microwave, aural

auxiliary services and Section 1.929(k) states that
any change not specifically listed as major is
considered minor. See 47 CFR 1.929(d) & (k); see

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 201 / Wednesday, October 19, 2022 / Notices
To accomplish the registration of
transfer agents, Form TA–1 was
developed in 1975 as an interagency
effort by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the agencies. The
agencies primarily use the data
collected on Form TA–1 to determine
whether an application for registration
should be approved, denied, accelerated
or postponed, and they use the data in
connection with their supervisory
responsibilities. FDIC is revising this
information collection to include the
burden associated with the reporting
requirement related to the transfer agent
deregistration form (Form TA–W)
currently cleared under OMB Control
Number 3064–0027. The intention is to
create a combined ICR that covers both
the transfer agent registration and
amendment form, and the transfer agent
deregistration form. This combined ICR
will retain the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) number OMB No.
3064–0026. The FDIC plans to
discontinue OMB No. 3064–0027 once
the combined OMB No. 3064–0026 is
approved. This action will streamline
the ICR process and contribute to
enhanced operational efficiency of the
FDIC.
There is no change in the method or
substance of the collection. The overall
reduction in burden hours is the result
of economic fluctuation. In particular,
the decline in the estimated overall
annual time burden from 2 hours in
2020 and 2021 to 1 hour in 2022.

General Description of Collection:
Section 1471 of the Dodd-Frank Act
established a new Truth in Lending
section 129H, which contains appraisal
requirements applicable to higher-risk
mortgages and prohibits a creditor from
extending credit in the form of a higherrisk mortgage loan to any consumer
without meeting those requirements. A
higher-risk mortgage is defined as a
residential mortgage loan secured by a
principal dwelling with an annual
percentage rate that exceeds the average
prime offer rate for a comparable
transaction as of the date the interest
rate is set by certain enumerated
percentage point spreads. The rule
requires that, within three days of
application, a creditor provide a
disclosure that informs consumers
regarding the purpose of the appraisal,
that the creditor will provide the
consumer a copy of any appraisal, and
that the consumer may choose to have
a separate appraisal conducted at the
expense of the consumer. If a loan meets
the definition of a higher-risk mortgage
loan, then the creditor would be
required to obtain a written appraisal
prepared by a certified or licensed
appraiser who conducts a physical visit
of the interior of the property that will
secure the transaction, and send a copy
of the written appraisal to the consumer.
To qualify for the safe harbor provided
under the rule, a creditor is required to
review the written appraisal as specified
in the text of the rule and appendix A.
If a loan is classified as a higher-risk
mortgage loan that will finance the
acquisition of the property to be
mortgaged, and the property was
acquired within the previous 180 days
by the seller at a price that was lower
than the current sale price, then the
creditor is required to obtain an
additional appraisal. A creditor is
required to provide the consumer a copy
of the appraisal reports performed in
VerDate Sep<11>2014

connection with the loan, without
charge, at least days prior to
consummation of the loan.
FDIC is revising this information
collection to fully account for the scope
of PRA burden delineated in part
1036.35(c). As a result, two new items
have been added to the burden table;
two items previously listed separately
have been combined into a single item;
and one item, associated with part
1026.35(c)(4)(iv), was deemed to not
impose any additional recordkeeping,
disclosure or reporting requirements,
has been removed from the table. As a
result of these revisions, the estimated
annual burden has increased from 4,044
hours to 7,412 hours. The following is
a summary of the revisions:
• The 2019 ICR did not include a line
item associated with the disclosure
requirement in part 1026.35(c)(5)(i),
which requires institutions to disclose
the following statement, in writing, to a
consumer who applies for a higherpriced mortgage loan (HPML): ‘‘We may
order an appraisal to determine the
property’s value and charge you for this
appraisal. We will give you a copy of
any appraisal, even if your loan does not
close. You can pay for an additional
appraisal for your own use at your own
cost.’’ FDIC has added a line item
associated with this requirement to the
burden table for the 2022 renewal.
• The 2019 ICR did not include a line
item associated with part
1026.35(c)(2)(viii)(B), which exempts
institutions from the appraisal
requirements for HPMLs secured by a
manufactured home and not land if the
institution obtains, and provides to the
consumer no later than three business
days prior to the consummation of the
transaction, either: (1) For a new
manufactured home, the manufacturer’s
invoice for the manufactured home
securing the transaction, provided that
the date of manufacture is no earlier
than 18 months prior to the creditor’s
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4703

receipt of the consumer’s application for
credit; (2) A cost estimate of the value
of the manufactured home securing the
transaction obtained from an
independent cost service provider, or;
(3) A valuation of the manufactured
home performed by a person who has
no direct or indirect interest, financial
or otherwise, in the property or
transaction for which the valuation is
performed and has training in valuing
manufactured homes. FDIC has added a
line item associated with this disclosure
requirement to the burden table for the
2022 renewal.
• The 2019 ICR included two separate
line items related to the disclosure
requirement in part 1026.35(c)(6)(i) for
an institution to provide a copy to the
applicant of any appraisal obtained
pursuant to parts 1026.35(c)(3) and
1026.35(c)(4). The 2019 ICR included
one line item for the disclosure
requirements for appraisals obtained
pursuant to part 1026.35(c)(3) and
another for appraisals obtained pursuant
to part 1026.35(c)(4). FDIC has
combined these two line items into a
single line item for the 2022 renewal.
• The 2019 ICR included a line item
associated with the requirement in part
1026.35(c)(4)(iv) for one of the two
appraisals for a property for which two
appraisals are required under part
1026.(c)4(i) to include an analysis of: (1)
The difference between the price at
which the seller acquired the property
and the price that the consumer is
obligated to pay to acquire the property,
as specified in the consumer’s
agreement to acquire the property from
the seller; (2) Changes in market
conditions between the date the seller
acquired the property and the date of
the consumer’s agreement to acquire the
property; and (3) Any improvements
made to the property between the date
the seller acquired the property and the
date of the consumer’s agreement to

acquire the property. FDIC has
determined that part 1026.35(c)(4)(iv)
does not impose any additional
recordkeeping, disclosure, or reporting
requirements on members of the public
and has removed the line item
associated with this requirement from
the burden table for the 2022 renewal.

General Description of Collection: The
FDIC seeks to extend, without change,
its generic clearance for the collection of
information requested from potential
participants in FDIC-sponsored or cosponsored prize competitions of various
types, including point solution
competitions (designed to spur the
development of solutions for a
particular problem) and exposition
(designed competitions to identify and
promote a broad range of ideas and
practices to facilitate further
development by third parties). Prize
competitions and the opportunity to
submit applications to participate will
be announced on the agency’s publicly
accessible government website, as well
as possibly through other forms of
public communication, such as
publication in the Federal Register,
issuance of Financial Institution Letters,
use of challenge.gov website maintained
by the U.S. General Services
Administration, or social media
advertisement. 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. Information will be
collected during prize competitions
through the solutions to the challenges
or problems presented. This information
collection will be voluntary. Collection
in the form of application will be
conducted primarily online with
alternative methods made available.
Collection during the events will be inperson or electronic. The FDIC will
consult with OMB regarding each
specific information collection during

the approval period. The FDIC estimates
that over the three-year clearance period
of this request, up to five (5)
competitions will be conducted across
various divisions of the agency,
involving a variety of topics and
challenges associated with underserved
communities and financial inclusion;
consumer protection; the FDIC’s use of
information technology and data
(including artificial intelligence and
machine learning); and financial and
technologically-driven innovation in
banking. The total hourly burden
attributed to this generic clearance will
be approximately 30,000 hours (an
estimated average of 6,000 hours per
prize competition × 5 competitions per
year). There is no change in the method
or substance of the collection. The
estimated annual burden remains 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.

General Description of Collection: Section 17A(c) of the Security
Exchange Act of 1934 (the Act) requires all transfer agents for
securities registered under section 12 of the Act or, if the security
would be required to be registered except for the exemption from
registration provided by section 12(g)(2)(B) or section 12(g)(2)(G), to
``fil[e] with the appropriate regulatory agency . . . an application
for registration in such form and containing such information and
documents . . . as such appropriate regulatory agency may prescribe as
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of this
section.'' In general, an entity performing transfer agent functions
for a security is required to register with its appropriate regulatory
agency if the security is registered on a national securities exchange
or if the issuer of the security has total assets exceeding $10 million
and a class of equity security held of record by 2,000 persons or, for
an issuer that is not a bank, BHC, or SLHC, by 500 persons who are not
accredited investors. The Federal Reserve Board of Governors'
Regulation H (12 CFR 208.31(a)) and Regulation Y (12 CFR 225.4(d)), the
OCC's 12 CFR 9.20, and the FDIC's 12 CFR part 341 implement these
provisions of the Act.
[[Page 63496]]
To accomplish the registration of transfer agents, Form TA-1 was
developed in 1975 as an interagency effort by the Securities and
Exchange Commission and the agencies. The agencies primarily use the
data collected on Form TA-1 to determine whether an application for
registration should be approved, denied, accelerated or postponed, and
they use the data in connection with their supervisory
responsibilities. FDIC is revising this information collection to
include the burden associated with the reporting requirement related to
the transfer agent deregistration form (Form TA-W) currently cleared
under OMB Control Number 3064-0027. The intention is to create a
combined ICR that covers both the transfer agent registration and
amendment form, and the transfer agent deregistration form. This
combined ICR will retain the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
number OMB No. 3064-0026. The FDIC plans to discontinue OMB No. 3064-
0027 once the combined OMB No. 3064-0026 is approved. This action will
streamline the ICR process and contribute to enhanced operational
efficiency of the FDIC.
There is no change in the method or substance of the collection.
The overall reduction in burden hours is the result of economic
fluctuation. In particular, the decline in the estimated overall annual
time burden from 2 hours in 2020 and 2021 to 1 hour in 2022.

Main Office or Branch.

General Description of Collection: Section 18(d) of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1828(d) (FDI Act)) provides that no
FDIC insured state nonmember bank or state savings association shall
establish and operate any new domestic branch or move its main office
or any such branch from one location to another without the prior
written consent of the FDIC. In granting or withholding consent to the
applicant, FDIC considers: (a) The financial history and condition of
the depository institution; (b) the adequacy of its capital structure;
(c) its future earnings prospects; (d) the general character and
fitness of its management; (e) the risk presented by the depository
institution to the Deposit Insurance Fund; (f) the convenience and
needs of the community to be served; and (g) whether its corporate
powers are consistent with the purposes of the FDI Act. FDIC
regulations found at 12 CFR 303, subpart C, specify the steps that
respondents must take to comply with the statutory mandate.
There is no change in the method or substance of the collection.
The overall reduction in burden hours is the result of economic
fluctuation. In particular, the number of respondents has decreased
while the hours per response and frequency of responses have remained
the same.

General Description of Collection: Section 1471 of the Dodd-Frank
Act established a new Truth in Lending section 129H, which contains
appraisal requirements applicable to higher-risk mortgages and
prohibits a creditor from extending credit in the form of a higher-risk
mortgage loan to any consumer without meeting those requirements. A
higher-risk mortgage is defined as a residential mortgage loan secured
by a principal dwelling with an annual percentage rate that exceeds the
average prime offer rate for a comparable transaction as of the date
the interest rate is set by certain enumerated percentage point
spreads. The rule requires that, within three days of application, a
creditor provide a disclosure that informs consumers regarding the
purpose of the appraisal, that the creditor will provide the consumer a
copy of any appraisal, and that the consumer may choose to have a
separate appraisal conducted at the expense of the consumer. If a loan
meets the definition of a higher-risk mortgage loan, then the creditor
would be required to obtain a written appraisal prepared by a certified
or licensed appraiser who conducts a physical visit of the interior of
the property that will secure the transaction, and send a copy of the
written appraisal to the consumer. To qualify for the safe harbor
provided under the rule, a creditor is required to review the written
appraisal as specified in the text of the rule and appendix A. If a
loan is classified as a higher-risk mortgage loan that will finance the
acquisition of the property to be mortgaged, and the property was
acquired within the previous 180 days by the seller at a price that was
lower than the current sale price, then the creditor is required to
obtain an additional appraisal. A creditor is required to provide the
consumer a copy of the appraisal reports performed in connection with
the loan, without charge, at least days prior to consummation of the
loan.
FDIC is revising this information collection to fully account for
the scope of PRA burden delineated in part 1036.35(c). As a result, two
new items have been added to the burden table; two items previously
listed separately have been combined into a single item; and one item,
associated with part 1026.35(c)(4)(iv), was deemed to not impose any
additional recordkeeping, disclosure or reporting requirements, has
been removed from the table. As a result of these revisions, the
estimated annual burden has increased from 4,044 hours to 7,412 hours.
The following is a summary of the revisions:
The 2019 ICR did not include a line item associated with
the disclosure requirement in part 1026.35(c)(5)(i), which requires
institutions to disclose the following statement, in writing, to a
consumer who applies for a higher-priced mortgage loan (HPML): ``We may
order an appraisal to determine the property's value and charge you for
this appraisal. We will give you a copy of any appraisal, even if your
loan does not close. You can pay for an additional appraisal for your
own use at your own cost.'' FDIC has added a line item associated with
this requirement to the burden table for the 2022 renewal.
The 2019 ICR did not include a line item associated with
part 1026.35(c)(2)(viii)(B), which exempts institutions from the
appraisal requirements for HPMLs secured by a manufactured home and not
land if the institution obtains, and provides to the consumer no later
than three business days prior to the consummation of the transaction,
either: (1) For a new manufactured home, the manufacturer's invoice for
the manufactured home securing the transaction, provided that the date
of manufacture is no earlier than 18 months prior to the creditor's
receipt of the consumer's application for credit; (2) A cost estimate
of the value of the manufactured home securing the transaction obtained
from an independent cost service provider, or; (3) A valuation of the
manufactured home performed by a person who has no direct or indirect
interest, financial or otherwise, in the property or transaction for
which the valuation is performed and has training in valuing
manufactured homes. FDIC has added a line item associated with this
disclosure requirement to the burden table for the 2022 renewal.
The 2019 ICR included two separate line items related to
the disclosure requirement in part 1026.35(c)(6)(i) for an institution
to provide a copy to the applicant of any appraisal obtained pursuant
to parts 1026.35(c)(3) and 1026.35(c)(4). The 2019 ICR included one
line item for the disclosure requirements for appraisals obtained
pursuant to part 1026.35(c)(3) and another for appraisals obtained
pursuant to part 1026.35(c)(4). FDIC has combined these two line items
into a single line item for the 2022 renewal.
The 2019 ICR included a line item associated with the
requirement in part 1026.35(c)(4)(iv) for one of the two appraisals for
a property for which two appraisals are required under part
1026.(c)4(i) to include an analysis of: (1) The difference between the
price at which the seller acquired the property and the price that the
consumer is obligated to pay to acquire the property, as specified in
the consumer's agreement to acquire the property from the seller; (2)
Changes in market conditions between the date the seller acquired the
property and the date of the consumer's agreement to acquire the
property; and (3) Any improvements made to the property between the
date the seller acquired the property and the date of the consumer's
agreement to
[[Page 63498]]
acquire the property. FDIC has determined that part 1026.35(c)(4)(iv)
does not impose any additional recordkeeping, disclosure, or reporting
requirements on members of the public and has removed the line item
associated with this requirement from the burden table for the 2022
renewal.

General Description of Collection: The FDIC seeks to extend,
without change, its generic clearance for the collection of information
requested from potential participants in FDIC-sponsored or co-sponsored
prize competitions of various types, including point solution
competitions (designed to spur the development of solutions for a
particular problem) and exposition (designed competitions to identify
and promote a broad range of ideas and practices to facilitate further
development by third parties). Prize competitions and the opportunity
to submit applications to participate will be announced on the agency's
publicly accessible government website, as well as possibly through
other forms of public communication, such as publication in the Federal
Register, issuance of Financial Institution Letters, use of
challenge.gov website maintained by the U.S. General Services
Administration, or social media advertisement. 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. Information will be
collected during prize competitions through the solutions to the
challenges or problems presented. This information collection will be
voluntary. Collection in the form of application will be conducted
primarily online with alternative methods made available. Collection
during the events will be in-person or electronic. The FDIC will
consult with OMB regarding each specific information collection during
the approval period. The FDIC estimates that over the three-year
clearance period of this request, up to five (5) competitions will be
conducted across various divisions of the agency, involving a variety
of topics and challenges associated with underserved communities and
financial inclusion; consumer protection; the FDIC's use of information
technology and data (including artificial intelligence and machine
learning); and financial and technologically-driven innovation in
banking. The total hourly burden attributed to this generic clearance
will be approximately 30,000 hours (an estimated average of 6,000 hours
per prize competition x 5 competitions per year). There is no change in
the method or substance of the collection. The estimated annual burden
remains 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.
