Title: Interagency Bank Merger Application. OMB Number: 3064–0015. Form Number: 6220/01 Affected Public: FDIC-insured depository institutions. Burden Estimate: Obligation to Respond General Description of Collection: Section 18(c) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act) requires an insured depository institution (IDI) that wishes to merge or consolidate with any other IDI or, either directly or indirectly, acquire the assets of, or assume liability to pay any deposits made in, any other IDI, to apply for the prior written approval of the responsible agency (the FDIC; the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (FRB); or the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC)).1 Section 18(c) further requires FDIC approval in connection with any merger transaction involving an IDI and a non-insured entity. The Interagency Bank Merger Act Application Form (Application Form) is used by the FDIC, the FRB, and the OCC for applications under section 18(c) of the FDI Act. The Application Form may be used for any merger transaction subject to section 18(c). There is a different level of burden for each of the two types of merger transactions, nonaffiliated and affiliated. An affiliate transaction refers to a merger, consolidation, other combination, or transfer of any deposit liabilities, between an IDI and another entity controlled by the same parent company, regardless of whether the other entity is FDIC-insured. It includes a business combination between an IDI and an affiliated interim institution. Applicants proposing affiliate transactions are not required to complete questions 12 through 14 of the Application Form. If the merging entities are not controlled VerDate Sep<11>2014 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Type of burden Information collection description Interagency Bank Merger Act Application—Affiliated Transactions.

The FDIC Supplement to the Interagency Bank Merger Act Application Form (Supplement) requires each applicant to provide information that delineates the relevant geographic market(s) and describes the competition in the relevant geographic market(s). The information collected focuses on the relevant geographic market(s) where the applicant and the entity to be acquired provide banking products or services. The Supplement includes specific instructions to facilitate a comprehensive competitive analysis relative to transactions between nonaffiliated entities. There is no change in the method or substance of the collection. The 62-hour decrease in burden hours is the result of updated data available. 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.
