*Abstract:*                     This submission covers an extension of the FDIC's currently approved information collections in its CRA regulations (12 CFR Part 345). The FDIC needs the information collected to fulfill its obligations under the CRA (12 U.S.C. 2901*et seq.*) to evaluate and assign ratings to the performance of institutions, in connection with helping to meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with safe and sound banking practices. The FDIC uses the information in the examination process and in evaluating applications for mergers, branches, and certain other corporate activities. Financial institutions maintain and provide the information to the Agencies.
