SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Proposal

Title: Application for Consent to

OMB Number: 3064–0025.

Frequency of Response: Occasional.

Estimated Total Annual Responses:

50.

Estimated Time per Response: 16

hours.

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 800

General Description of the Collection:

Section 333.2 of FDIC’s regulation 12

CFR 333 prohibits 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 because trust

powers create a new fiduciary

relationship. 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. Each application

submitted by a bank is evaluated by the

FDIC to verify the qualifications of bank

management to administer a trust

department to ensure that the bank’s

financial condition will not be

jeopardized as a result of trust

operations.

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.

At the end of the comment period, the

comments and recommendations

received will be analyzed to determine

the extent to which the collection

should be modified prior to submission

to OMB for review and approval.

Comments submitted in response to this

notice also will be summarized or

included in the FDIC’s requests to OMB

for renewal of this collection. All

comments will become a matter of

public record.

Dated at Washington, DC, this 23rd day of

July 1997.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Robert E. Feldman,

Executive Secretary.
