SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposal To Revise the Following Currently Approved Collection of Information
Title: Asset Purchaser Eligibility Certification.
OMB Number: 3064-0135.
Form Number: FDIC 7300/06, ``Purchaser Eligibility Certification''; 7300/07, ``Pre-Qualification Request''; and 7300/08, ``Contact Information Form''.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Business or other financial institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 600.
Estimated Time per Response: 1.0 hour (Purchaser Eligibility Certification, 30 minutes; Pre-Qualification Request, 20 minutes; and Contact Information Form, 10 minutes).
Total Annual Burden: 600 hours.
General Description of Collection: The FDIC uses the Purchaser Eligibility Certification form, FDIC Form No. 7300/06, to identify prospective bidders who are not eligible to purchase assets of failed institutions from the FDIC. Specifically, section 11(p) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act prohibits the sale of assets of failed institutions to certain individuals or entities that profited or engaged in wrongdoing at the expense of those failed institutions, or seriously mismanaged those failed institutions. The FDIC is proposing to update the Privacy Act Statement in the Purchaser Eligibility Certification form. In addition, the FDIC is proposing to add two forms to the Purchaser Eligibility Certification information collection: the Pre-Qualification Request form, FDIC Form No. 7300/07, is designed to determine which prospective bidders are qualified to bid on particular types of assets offered by the FDIC (e.g., securities, mortgage servicing portfolios, shared national credits. Interests in structured transactions, credit card receivables) for which no further qualification criteria are required to be met and to ensure that prospective bidders understand the terms and conditions of asset sales; and the Contact Information Form, FDIC Form No. 7300/08, determines the type of assets a prospective bidder is interested in and facilitates communication with the prospective bidder. A link to copies of the forms can be found directly beneath this notice on the FDIC's Federal Register Citations Web page at: http://www.fdic.gov/regulations/laws/
