General Description of Collection: The collection requires insured
state nonmember banks to comply with the Bank Protection Act and to
review bank security programs The Bank Protection Act of 1968 (12
U.S.C. 1881-1884) requires each Federal supervisory agency to
promulgate rules establishing minimum standards for security devices
and procedures to discourage financial crime and to assist in the
identification of persons who commit such crimes. To avoid the
necessity of constantly updating a technology-based regulation, the
FDIC takes a flexible approach to implementing this statute. It
requires each insured nonmember bank to designate a security officer
who will administer a written security program. The security program
must: (1) Establish procedures for opening and closing for business and
for safekeeping valuables; (2) establish procedures that will assist in
identifying persons committing crimes against the bank; (3) provide for
initial and periodic training of employees in their responsibilities
under the security program; and (4) provide for selecting, testing,
operating and maintaining security devices as prescribed in the
regulation. In addition, the FDIC requires the security officer to
report at least annually to the bank's board of directors on the
effectiveness of the security program.
There is no change in the method or substance of the collection.
The 48,683 increase in burden hours is the result of the agency re-
evaluating the time it takes for recordkeeping and reporting associated
with the rule, and including new implementation burdens for new
entities and entities reviewing their policies in light of mergers and
other organizational changes.
2. Title: Mutual-to-Stock Conversion of State Savings Banks.
OMB Number: 3064-0117.
Form Numbers: None.
Affected Public: Insured state savings associations.
