General Description of Collection: 

This information collection involves the 

submission of various forms by (1) 

contractors who wish to do business 

with the FDIC or are currently under 

contract with the FDIC; (2) those 

vendors and parties participating in 

innovation pilot programs and prize 

competitions with the possibility of 

being awarded a contract; and (3) 

government agencies or commercial 

businesses that provide FDIC with past 

performance information. There is no 

change in the method or substance of 

the collection. However, the FDIC has 

amended this submission to account for 

the burdens associated with vendors 

and parties participating in innovation 

pilot programs and prize competitions. 

The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 

U.S.C. Section 1819) empowers the 

FDIC to enter into contracts using 

private sector contractors to provide 

goods or services. The Act also provides 

that the FDIC may promulgate policies 

and procedures to administer the 

powers granted to it, including the 

power to enter into contracts. Pursuant 

to such policies, the Acquisition and 

Corporate Services Branch of the FDIC’s 

Division of Administration has 

developed forms and clauses to 

facilitate the procurement of goods and 

services from private sector contractors. 

The information collected through these 

forms and clauses fall under the 

definition of collection of information 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 (PRA).

2786 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 12 / Wednesday, January 19, 2022 / Notices 

1The first Innovation Pilot Program, Rapid 

Phased Prototyping (RPP), began in August 2020. 

Details for RPP can be found at https://

www.fdic.gov/fditech/rpp.html (last accessed 

September 30, 2021). The proposal submission 

phase for RPP is expected to finish in 2021. The 

FDIC received 35 applications for RPP; FDIC 

conservatively estimates 50 responses per pilot 

program to account for the fact that future 

collections could receive increased interest. The 

FDIC also anticipates holding up to three pilots a 

year, for a total of 150 estimated applications per 

year. 

During the review of the renewal of 

this Acquisition Services Information 

Requirements information collection, 

FDIC determined that portions of the 

PRA burdens that are currently under 

the information collection entitled 

Innovation Pilot Programs. (OMB No. 

3064–0212) should be transferred to this 

information collection (OMB No. 3064– 

0072). OMB No. 3064–0212 involves the 

collection of information from third 

parties (banks and firms in partnership 

with banks) who are invited to 

voluntarily propose time-limited pilot 

programs, which will be collected and 

considered by the FDIC on a case-bycase basis. FDIC has determined that the 

burdens associated with OMB No. 

3064–0212 that contain the possibility 

of entering into a contract with the FDIC 

should be transferred to OMB No. 3064– 

0072. To avoid duplication of burden 

hours, OMB No. 3064–0212 will be 

separately amended to only contain the 

burden on IDIs and third parties that are 

involved in the various projects that 

third parties may engage in. FDIC 

determined that OMB No. 3064–0072 

should include the burden involved 

with the preparation and submission of 

applications to participate in FDICsponsored or co-sponsored prize 

competitions if the outcome of those 

prize competitions includes the 

possibility of entering into a contract 

with the FDIC. These burdens are 

similar to the burdens currently under 

the IC entitled Generic Clearance for 

Prize Competition Participation (OMB 

No. 3064–0211). However, OMB No. 

3064–0211 contains and will continue 

to contain those burdens associated 

with prize competitions whose 

outcomes do not include the possibility 

of a entering into a contract with the 

FDIC. 

New Burden: Prize Competitions— 

Estimated Number of Respondents, 

Responses and Hourly Burdens 

As described above, this ICR adds to 

OMB No. 3064–0072 the burdens 

involved with the preparation and 

submission of applications to 

participate in FDIC-sponsored or cosponsored prize competitions if the 

outcomes of those prize competitions 

include the possibility of entering into 

a contract with the FDIC. The 

information associated with this burden 

are collected from potential and actual 

participants (including technologists, 

coders, engineers and developers; 

consumers of financial services; 

consumer advocates; academics; 

members of trade groups and other 

associations; individuals connected to 

financial institutions, community banks, 

and financial and bank service and 

technology providers; software, data, 

and technology firms; and other 

members of the public) of those prize 

competitions. The FDIC collects 

information from respondents during 

both an application phase and during a 

proposal phase. 

1. Application Phase: The FDIC has 

never conducted a prize competition 

where outcomes included the 

possibility of entering into a contract 

with the FDIC. FDIC anticipates that 

approximately 100 applications would 

be received if the FDIC were to initiate 

such a prize competition. For the 

purposes of this ICR, FDIC assumes that 

each application is submitted by a 

distinct respondent. Thus, in the above 

burden table, for the line item Prize 

Competition—Application, FDIC 

assumes that the number of responses 

per respondent is one and use a 

respondent count of 100 per year. 

In order for the FDIC to determine 

which applicants will be eligible and 

selected to participate in FDIC prize 

competitions, the FDIC will request that 

potential participants provide their 

name, contact information, address, and 

such other information that may be 

necessary to evaluate applicants’ 

qualifications and ability to participate 

in the event as well as to match the 

applicants’ anticipated role to the needs 

of the competition. Applicants will also 

be asked to acknowledge the terms and 

conditions of participating in the prize 

competition. Based on their experience 

with previous prize competitions, FDIC 

estimates that respondents will spend, 

on average, one hour to prepare and 

submit an application. 

2. Proposal Phase: Certain 

participants in these prize competitions 

may be invited to present a contract 

proposal to be considered by the FDIC. 

Should such a prize competition occur, 

FDIC assumes that it would receive five 

contract proposals per year. For the 

purposes of this ICR, FDIC assumes that 

each proposal is submitted by a distinct 

respondent. Thus, for the line item Prize 

Competition—Proposal, FDIC assumes 

that the number of responses per 

respondent is one and use a respondent 

count of five per year. 

Based on experience with previous 

prize competitions, FDIC expects that 

respondents will spend, on average, 60 

hours to prepare and submit a proposal. 

Thus, for the line item Prize 

Competition—Proposal, FDIC estimates 

a time burden of 60 hours per response. 

Transferred Burden From OMB No. 

3064–0212: Innovation Pilot Program— 

Estimated Number of Respondents, 

Responses and Hourly Burdens 

As described above, this ICR transfers 

the burdens that contain the possibility 

of entering into a contract with the FDIC 

from OMB No. 3064–0212 to OMB No. 

3064–0072. The information associated 

with this burden are collected from 

innovators who are invited to 

voluntarily propose time-limited pilot 

programs. The program is typically 

conducted in four phases, with a 

declining number of companies 

advancing at each phase. The FDIC 

provides fixed monetary awards for the 

successful completion of some of these 

phases. In order to evaluate potential 

contractors, the FDIC collects 

information from respondents twice: 

During an application phase and during 

a proposal phase. 

1. Application Phase: The FDIC issues 

a call for concept papers as a general 

solicitation. Interested parties respond 

by submitting concept papers, thus 

becoming offerors. The FDIC then 

subjectively assesses those papers to 

determine its confidence in the 

prospective merits of those concept 

papers as well as the FDIC’s confidence 

in the offeror’s apparent ability to 

transform concepts into real-world 

solutions. FDIC used its experience with 

the first Innovation Pilot Program 1 to 

estimate that 50 concept papers are 

submitted to the FDIC in response to a 

call. Although one company could 

submit multiple concept papers to one 

call, or different concept papers to 

different calls, the FDIC considers a 

concept paper submission for each call 

to be from a distinct respondent. The 

FDIC anticipates issuing three calls per 

year. Thus, for purposes of this 

information collection item, FDIC 

estimates 150 respondents per year and 

one response per respondent per year. 

FDIC believes that the hourly burden for 

preparing concept papers to be similar 

to that of RFPs. However, the 

applications for pilot programs are 

usually more extensive than the average 

RFP. Based on the hourly burden 

estimated for RFPs, FDIC estimates that 

each application will take 20 hours to 


jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 12 / Wednesday, January 19, 2022 / Notices 2787 

2 90 contract proposals = 50 application per call 

* 3 calls per year * 60%. 

prepare and submit. Thus, for the line 

item Innovation Pilot Program— 

Application, FDIC estimates a time 

burden of 20 hours per response. 

2. Proposal Phase: During a pilot 

program, all contractors who are 

participating will provide an initial 

summary of the terms and conditions 

(including price, deliverables, 

intellectual property rights, and so 

forth) it contemplates proposing for a 

follow-on pilot. The FDIC may provide 

feedback to the contractor and 

contractors may resubmit their proposal 

one or more times based on feedback 

received. Based on their experience 

with rapid Phase Prototyping (RPP), 

FDIC estimates that approximately 60 

percent of applications received in 

response to calls for concept papers, or 

90 applications per year,2 will be 

invited to submit contract proposal. As 

above, the FDIC assumes each response 

to be from a distinct respondent. Thus, 

for the line item Innovation Pilot 

Program—Proposal, FDIC estimates 90 

respondents per year and one response 

per respondent per year. FDIC believes 

that, given the iterative nature of the 

RPP process, it is likely that contractors 

will go through multiple iterations of 

contract proposals. FDIC assumes that 

each respondent will have to revise 

their submission twice, on average. In 

addition, these contract proposals 

include pricing, terms, and conditions, 

which will require more time than the 

concept papers. Given these differences, 

FDIC estimates that each response to an 

Innovation Pilot Program—Proposal will 

take 60 hours to prepare and submit. 

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.
