AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

ACTION: Notice and request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently, the FDIC is soliciting comment on renewal of the information collection described below.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before September 23, 2013.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties are invited to submit written comments to the FDIC by any of the following methods:

http://www.FDIC.gov/regulations/laws/federal/notices.html.

Email: comments@fdic.gov Include the name of the collection in the subject line of the message.

Mail: Gary A. Kuiper (202.898.3877), Counsel, Room NYA-

5046, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, 550 17th Street NW., Washington, DC 20429.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposal to renew the following currently-approved collection of information:

Title: Application for Consent to Exercise Trust Powers.

OMB Number: 3064-0025.

Form Number: FDIC 6200/09.

Frequency of Response: On occasion.

Affected Public: Insured State nonmember banks wishing to exercise trust powers.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 15

Estimated Time per Response for Eligible Depository Institutions: 8 hours.

Page 44951

Estimated Time per Response for Institutions That Do Not Qualify as Eligible Institutions: 24 hours.

Total Estimated Annual Burden: 200 hours.

General Description of Collection: FDIC regulations (12 CFR 333.2) prohibit any insured State nonmember bank from changing the general character of its business without the prior written consent of the FDIC. The exercise of trust powers by a bank is usually considered to be a change in the general character of a bank's business if the bank did not exercise those powers previously. Therefore, unless a bank is currently exercising trust powers, it must file a formal application to obtain the FDIC's written consent to exercise trust powers. State banking authorities, not the FDIC, grant trust powers to their banks. The FDIC merely consents to the exercise of such powers. Applicants use form FDIC 6200/09 to obtain FDIC's consent.

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 information collection 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.

Dated at Washington, DC, this 22th day of July 2013.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Robert E. Feldman,

Executive Secretary.
