OMB Control number: 7100–0171. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Reporters: State member banks. 

Estimated annual reporting hours: 

Nonaffiliate Transactions: 1,680 hours;

Estimated average hours per response: 

Nonaffiliate Transactions: 30 hours; 

Affiliate Transactions: 18 hours. 

Number of respondents: Nonaffiliate 

Transactions: 56; Affiliate Transactions: 

11. 

General description of report: This 

information collection is required 

pursuant to section 18(c) of the Federal 

Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 

1828(c)) and is not given confidential 

treatment. However, applicants may 

request that parts of a submitted 

application be kept confidential. In such 

cases, the burden is on the applicant to 

justify the exemption by demonstrating 

that disclosure would cause substantial 

competitive harm or result in an 

unwarranted invasion of personal 

privacy or would otherwise qualify for 

an exemption under the Freedom of 

Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552). The 

confidentiality status of the information 

submitted will be judged on a case-bycase basis. 

Abstract: The Federal Reserve, the 

Office of the Comptroller of the 

Currency, and the Federal Deposit 

Insurance Corporation (the agencies) 

each use this application form to collect 

information for bank merger proposals 

that require prior approval under the 

Bank Merger Act. Prior approval is 

required for every merger transaction 

involving affiliated or nonaffiliated 

institutions and must be sought from the 

regulatory agency of the depository 

institution that would survive the 

proposed transaction. A merger 

transaction may include a merger, 

consolidation, assumption of deposit 

liabilities, or certain asset-transfers 

between or among two or more 

institutions. The Federal Reserve 

collects this information so that it may 

meet its statutory obligation of 

evaluating (with respect to every state 

member bank merger proposal) the 

competitive effects, the adequacy of the 

financial and managerial resources of 

the institutions involved, and the effect 

on the convenience and needs of the 

affected communities. 

2. Report title: Interagency Notice of 

Change in Bank Control, Interagency 

Notice of Change in Director or Senior 

Executive Officer, and Interagency 

Biographical and Financial Report. 

Agency form number: FR 2081a, FR 

2081b, and FR 2081c. 

OMB control number: 7100–0134. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Reporters: Bank holding companies 

(BHCs), state member banks (SMBs), 

and certain of their officers and 

shareholders. 

Estimated annual reporting hours: FR 

2081a: 5,040 hours; FR 2081b: 618 

hours; FR 2081c: 6,680 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

FR 2081a: 30 hours; FR 2081b: 2 hours; 

FR 2081c: 4 hours. 

Number of respondents: FR 2081a: 

168; FR 2081b: 309; FR 2081c: 1,670. 

General description of report: The FR 

2081a and FR 2081c are mandatory 

pursuant to section 7(j) of the Federal 

Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. 

1817(j)). The FR 2081b and FR 2081c are 

mandatory pursuant to section 914 of 

the Financial Institutions Reform, 

Recovery, and Enforcement Act (12 

U.S.C. 1831(i)). This information 

collection is not given confidential 

treatment. The organizations and 

individuals that use the forms may 

request that all or a portion of the 

submitted information be kept 

confidential. In such cases, the burden 

is on the filer to justify the exemption 

by demonstrating that disclosure would 

cause substantial competitive harm or 

result in an unwarranted invasion of 

personal privacy or would otherwise 

qualify for an exemption under the 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

552). The confidentiality status of the 

information submitted will be 

determined on a case-by-case basis. 

Abstract: The information collected 

assists the Federal Reserve, the Office of 

the Comptroller of the Currency, and the 

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 

(the agencies) in fulfilling their statutory 

responsibilities as supervisors. Each of 

these forms is used to collect 

information in connection with 

applications and notices filed prior to 

proposed changes in the ownership or 

management of banking organizations. 

The agencies use the information to 

evaluate the controlling owners, senior 

officers, and directors of the insured 

depository institutions subject to their 

oversight. The information collected in 

an Interagency Notice of Change in Bank 

Control (FR 2081a) submitted to the 

Federal Reserve is provided by persons 

proposing to make significant 

investments in a BHC or SMB. The 

information collected in the Interagency 

Notice of Change in Director or Senior 

Executive Officer (FR 2081b) is required 

under Section 914 of the Financial 

Institutions Reform, Recovery, and 

Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) and 

is submitted to the Federal Reserve 

(under certain circumstances) by a BHC 

or SMB making changes in its board of 

directors or senior executive officers. 

The Interagency Biographical and 

Financial Report (FR 2081c) is not a 

stand-alone reporting form; it is a 

companion reporting form to the FR 

2081a and the FR 2018b (and to other 

Federal Reserve information collections) 

that is used to gather required 

information about the individuals 

involved in various applications and 

notices. 

Current Actions: On September 12, 

2014, the Federal Reserve published a 

notice in the Federal Register (79 FR 

54720) requesting public comment for 

60 days on the extension, without 

revision, of the Interagency Bank Merger 

Act Application; and of the Interagency 

Notice of Change in Bank Control, 

Interagency Notice of Change in Director 

or Senior Executive Officer, and 

Interagency Biographical and Financial 

Report. The comment period for this 

notice expired on November 12, 2014. 

The Federal Reserve did not receive any 

comments. The information collections 

will be extended as proposed.

System, November 26, 2014.
