number. No person shall be subject to

any penalty for failing to comply with

a collection of information subject to the

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that

does not display a valid control number.

Commission, including whether the

information shall have practical utility;

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s

burden estimate; (c) ways to enhance

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

OMB Control No.: 3060–0635.

Title: Amateur Vanity Call Sign

Request.

Form No.: FCC 610–V.

Type of Review: Revision of a

currently approved collection.

Respondents: Individuals or

households.

Number of Respondents: 80,000.

Estimated Time Per Response: .33

hour.

Frequency of Response: On occasion

reporting requirement.

Cost to Respondents: $4,000,000.

Total Annual Burden: 26,400 hours.

Needs and Uses: The FCC Form 610–

V is used to apply for a vanity (special)

call sign in lieu of a systematically

issued call sign. This information

collection has been revised to eliminate

the need for attaching a photocopy of

the applicant’s current operator/primary

station license document, and to add

space on the form for the applicant to

provide an Internet or e-mail address.

The fee information, such as payment

type code, quantity and fee due is being

deleted from the application because a

Fee Remittance Advice (FCC Form 159)

is now required to be submitted along

with any payment due to the FCC. The

respondent costs have been modified

due to an adjustment in the regulatory

fee structure for Amateur vanity call

signs. The Commission will not be

collecting the Taxpayer Identification

Number (TIN) on the form as previously

indicated in the Federal Register notice.

TIN is also collected on the FCC Form

159 which is required by any payment

to the FCC.

The information collected in the

application is used by FCC staff to

determine eligibility for radio station

authorization and to issue a radio

station/operator license. Data is also

used by Compliance personnel in

conjunction with field engineers for

enforcement and interference resolution

purposes.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE

CORPORATION

Determination of Insufficiency of

Assets to Satisfy All Claims of Certain

Financial Institution in Receivership

AGENCY: Federal Deposit Insurance

Corporation.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Federal Deposit

Insurance Corporation (FDIC), as

receiver for the financial institution

specified in SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION, has determined that the

proceeds which can be realized from the

liquidation of the assets of the below

listed receivership estate are insufficient

to wholly satisfy the priority claims of

depositors against the receivership

estates. Therefore, upon satisfaction of

secured claims, depositor claims and

claims which have priority over

depositors under applicable law, no

amount will remain or will be recovered

sufficient to allow a dividend,

distribution or payment to any creditor

of lessor priority, including but not

limited to, claims of general creditors.

Any such claims are hereby determined

to be worthless.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Need For and Use of Information

Collection

Section 7 of the Federal Home Loan

Bank Act (Bank Act) and part 932 of the

Finance Board’s regulations establish

eligibility and reporting requirements

and the procedures for electing and

appointing Federal Home Loan Bank

(FHLBank) directors. See 12 U.S.C.

1427; 12 CFR part 932. The information

collection contained in the elective and

appointive FHLBank director personal

certification and disclosure forms and

§§ 932.18 and 932.21 of the Finance

Board’s regulations, is necessary to

enable the Finance Board to determine

whether prospective and incumbent

elective and appointive FHLBank

directors satisfy the statutory and

regulatory eligibility and reporting

requirements. See Finance Board forms

E–1, E–2, A–1, and A–2; 12 CFR 932.18

(appointive directors), 932.21 (elective

directors). Accordingly, Finance Board

staff uses the information collection to

determine whether respondents meet

the statutory and regulatory eligibility

requirements. The information

collection requires each respondent to

complete and submit to the Finance

Board for review a personal certification

and disclosure form prior to election or

appointment and, once elected or

appointed, annually during the term of

service. Incumbent directors also have a

continuing obligation promptly to notify

the Finance Board of any known or

suspected ineligibility. See 12 CFR

932.18(f)(2); 932.21(g)(2).

The OMB number for the information

collection is 3069–0002. The OMB

clearance for the information collection

expires on January 31, 1998.

B. Burden Estimate

The Finance Board estimates the total

annual average number of respondents

at 286, with one response per

respondent. The estimate for the average

hours per response is 1.3 hours. The

estimate for the total annual hour

burden is 376 hours (286 respondents ×

1 response/respondent × approximately

1.3 hours). The estimated annualized

cost to respondents of the information

collection is $35,175.00.

C. Comment Request

In accordance with the requirements

of 5 CFR 1320.8(d), the Finance Board

published a request for public

comments regarding this information

collection in the Federal Register on

November 6, 1997. See 62 FR 60093

(Nov. 6, 1997). The 60-day comment

period closed on January 5, 1998. The

Finance Board received no public

comments. Written comments are

requested on: (1) Whether the collection

of information is necessary for the

proper performance of the functions of

the Finance Board, including whether

the information has practical utility; (2)

the accuracy of the Finance Board’s

estimates of the burdens of the

collection of information; (3) ways to

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity

of the information collected; and (4)

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.

Comments may be submitted to OMB in

writing at the address listed above.

By the Federal Housing Finance Board.

Dated: January 12, 1998.
