 General Description of Collection Section 7(e)(3) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 1817(e)(3)) (FDI Act), as amended by the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, requires that the FDIC provide by regulation an initial, one-time assessment credit to each “eligible” insured depository institution (or its successor) based on the assessment base of the institution as of December 31, 1996, as compared to the combined aggregate assessment base of all eligible institutions as of that date, taking into account such other factors as the FDIC Board of Directors determines to be appropriate. The one-time credits must, with certain exceptions, be applied by the FDIC to the maximum extent allowed by law to the assessments imposed on such institution that become due for assessment periods beginning after the effective date of the one-time credit regulations until such time as the credit is exhausted. For assessments that become due for assessment periods beginning in fiscal years 2008, 2009, and 2010, the FDI Act provides that credits may not be applied to more than 90 percent of an institution's assessment. FDIC-insured institutions must notify the FDIC if their one-time assessment credit is transferred, 
                    *e.g.,*
                     through a sale of the credits or through a merger, so that the FDIC can accurately track such transfers, apply available credits appropriately against institutions' deposit insurance assessments, and determine an institution's 1996 assessment base if the transaction involved both the base and the credit amount. The need for credit transfer information will expire when the credit pool has been exhausted. There is no change in the method or substance of the collection and the burden remains unchanged from the previous Paperwork Reduction Act submission. 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 collection of information 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, on August 2, 2018. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Robert E. Feldman, Executive Secretary.
