    Affected Public: Insured financial institutions.
    Estimated Burden Hours:
    Number of reports submitted: 50.

    General Description of Collection: The Prompt Corrective Action 
(``PCA'') provisions of section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act 
require or permit the FDIC and other federal banking agencies to take 
certain supervisory actions when FDIC-insured institutions fall within 
one of five capital categories. They also restrict or prohibit certain 
activities and require the submission of a capital restoration plan 
when an insured institution becomes undercapitalized. Various 
provisions of the statute and the FDIC's implementing regulations 
require the prior approval of the FDIC before an FDIC-supervised 
institution can engage in certain activities, or allow the FDIC to make 
exceptions to restrictions that would otherwise be imposed. This 
collection of information consists of the applications that are 
required to obtain the FDIC's prior approval.

Request for Comment

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collections of information 
are 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 collections, 
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 
collections 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, this 22nd day of December, 2014.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Robert E. Feldman,
Executive Secretary.
