SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

1. The Commission has adopted 

unjust enrichment rules, which require 

a designated entity (DE) that has 

benefited from bidding credits to return 

some or all of those benefits if it 

transfers its license to a non-DE or 

otherwise loses its eligibility for such 

benefits. In 2006, the Commission 

revised its unjust enrichment rules, 

extending from five years to ten years 

the period during which a DE will have 

to repay some or all of its bidding 

credits if it loses eligibility for those 

benefits. Section 1.2111(d)(2)(i) of the 

Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 

1.2111(d)(2)(i), provides a prorated 

schedule for licensees that lose their 

eligibility for a bidding credit and were 

initially granted their licenses after 

April 25, 2006, to repay that biding 

credit. 

2. Denali asks that the Commission 

forbear from applying 47 CFR 

1.2111(d)(2)(i) to it in light of the 

prevailing economic conditions, 

Denali’s need for additional capital to 

fund network deployment, and the 

opportunity for Denali to create jobs and 

extend its state-of-the-art network to 

under-served low income and other 

segments of the population. Denali 

asserts that forbearance from applying 

the unjust enrichment provisions would 

be consistent with recent Federal 

initiatives intended to stimulate the 

national economy and promote 

investment. Denali also states that as a 

condition on the grant of its forbearance 

request, it will adhere to the less 

stringent unjust enrichment provisions 

that apply to licenses granted prior to 

April 25, 2006. 

3. The Wireless Telecommunications 

Bureau seeks comment on Denali’s 

Petition. Interested parties may file 

comments on or before June 18, 2009, 

and reply comments on or before July 6, 

2009. 

4. Denali’s Petition will be available 

online through ECFS, in the 

Commission’s Public Reference Center, 

and from the Commission’s duplicating 

contractor, Best Copy and Printing, Inc. 

(BCPI), 445 12th Street, SW., Room CY–

5300, fax at 202–488–5563, or e-mail at

5. This matter shall be treated as a 

permit-but-disclose proceeding in 

accordance with the Commission’s ex 

parte rules.

pursuant to the: Home Mortgage Act, 

Section 806 (12 U.S.C. 2804(a)); 

Community Reinvestment Act, Section 

806 (12 U.S.C. 2905); Competitive

Section 504 (15 U.S.C. 6804. 

Respondent participation in the survey 

is voluntary. If the Federal Reserve 

contracts with an outside firm that 

retains the respondent identifying data 

and, pursuant to a contractual 

agreement, that data cannot be reported 

to the Federal Reserve, then the 

respondent identifying data cannot be 

considered an agency record and would 

not be subject to disclosure under the 

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). 

However, if there is no contractual 

agreement between the Federal Reserve 

and an outside firm regarding the 

reporting of respondent identifying data, 

or if the Federal Reserve conducted the 

survey itself, the information could be 

considered an agency record subject to 

subsection (b)(6) of the FOIA. The 

confidentiality of the information 

obtained from financial institutions and 

other stakeholders will be determined 

on a case-by-case basis when the 

specific questions to be asked on each 

particular survey are formulated, but 

before respondents are contacted. 

Depending upon the survey questions, 

confidential treatment could be 

warranted under subsection (b)(4) of the 

FOIA. 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (6). 

Abstract: The FR 1380 is used to 

gather qualitative and quantitative 

information directly from consumers 

(consumer studies), and also to gather 

qualitative and quantitative information 

from financial institutions offering 

consumer financial products and 

services and from other stakeholders, 

such as brokers, appraisers, settlement 

agents, software vendors, and consumer 

groups (stakeholder studies). This 

information collection is specifically 

targeted to the development of 

consumer regulations. The consumer 

studies gather information about 

individual consumers’ knowledge of, 

and attitudes toward, consumer 

disclosures used by financial 

institutions in compliance with Federal 

Reserve regulations. The consumer 

studies may also enable the Federal 

Reserve to develop and test consumer 

education resources. The stakeholder 

studies gather information from the 

institutions offering financial products 

and services and other third parties 

regarding products, disclosure, 

marketing, advertising, and sales 

practices. 

Current Actions: On March 30, 2009, 

the Federal Reserve published a notice 

in the Federal Register (74 FR 14126) 

requesting public comment for 60 days 

on the extension, without revision, of 

this information collection. The 

comment period for this notice expired 

on May 29, 2009. The Federal Reserve 

did not receive any comments. 

2. Report Title: Recordkeeping 

Requirements Associated With the 

Interagency Statement on Complex 

Structured Finance Activities. 

Agency Form Number: FR 4022. 

OMB Control Number: 7100–0311. 

Frequency: Annual. 

Reporters: State member banks, bank 

holding companies, and U.S. branches 

and agencies of foreign banks 

supervised by the Federal Reserve. 

Estimated Annual Reporting Hours: 

230 hours. 

Estimated Average Hours per 

Response: New respondents, 25 hours; 

existing respondents, 10 hours. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

New respondents, 2; existing 

respondents, 18. 

General Description of Report: This 

information collection is authorized 

pursuant to 12 U.S.C. 248(a), 248(i), 483, 

and 602, 12 U.S.C. 1844, and 12 U.S.C. 

3108(a). Respondent participation in the 

statement is voluntary. However, the 

Federal Reserve expects to use the 

statement in reviewing the internal 

controls and risk management systems 

of those financial institutions engaged 

in complex structured finance 

transactions (CSFTs) as part of the 

Federal Reserve’s supervisory process. 

Since the Federal Reserve does not 

collect any information, no issue of 

confidentiality normally arises. 

However, in the event records generated 

under the statement are obtained by the 

Board during an examination of a State 

member bank or U.S. branch or agency 

of a foreign bank, or during an 

inspection of a bank holding company, 

confidential treatment may be afforded 

to the records under exemption 8 of the 

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 

U.S.C. 552(b)(8). FOIA exemption 8 

exempts from disclosure matters that are 

contained in or related to examination, 

operating, or condition reports prepared 

by, on behalf of, or for the use of an 

agency responsible for the regulation or 

supervision of financial institutions. 

Abstract: The Interagency Statement 

on Complex Structured Finance 

Activities provides that State member 

banks, bank holding companies, and 

U.S. branches and agencies of foreign 

banks supervised by the Federal Reserve 

should establish and maintain policies 

and procedures for identifying, 

evaluating, assessing, documenting, and 

controlling risks associated with certain 

CSFTs. 

A financial institution engaged in 

CSFTs should maintain a set of formal, 

firm-wide policies and procedures that 

are designed to allow the institution to 

identify, evaluate, assess, document, 

and control the full range of credit, 

market, operational, legal, and 

reputational risks associated with these 

transactions. These policies may be 

developed specifically for CSFTs, or 

included in the set of broader policies 

governing the institution generally. A 

financial institution operating in foreign 

jurisdictions may tailor its policies and 

procedures as appropriate to account 

for, and comply with, the applicable 

laws, regulations and standards of those 

jurisdictions. 

A financial institution’s policies and 

procedures should establish a clear 

framework for the review and approval 

of individual CSFTs. These policies and 

procedures should set forth the 

responsibilities of the personnel 

involved in the origination, structuring, 

trading, review, approval, 

documentation, verification, and 

execution of CSFTs. A financial 

institution should define what 

constitutes a new complex structured 

finance product and establish a control 

process for the approval of such new 

products. An institution’s policies also 

should provide for new complex 

structured finance products to receive 

the approval of all relevant control areas 

that are independent of the profit center 

before the product is offered to 

customers. 

Current Actions: On April 2, 2009, the 

Federal Reserve published a notice in 

the Federal Register (74 FR 14988) 

requesting public comment for 60 days 

on the extension, without revision, of 

this information collection. The 

comment period for this notice expired 

on June 1, 2009. The Federal Reserve 

did not receive any comments. 

Final approval under OMB delegated 

authority of the implementation of the 

following report: 

Report Title: Microeconomic Survey. 

Agency Form Number: FR 3051. 

OMB Control Number: 7100–0321. 

Frequency: Annually and monthly, as 

needed. 

Reporters: Individuals, households, 

and financial and non-financial 

businesses. 

Estimated Annual Reporting Hours: 

Annual, 6,000 hours; Monthly, 18,000 

hours. 

Estimated Average Hours per 

Response: Annual, 30 minutes; 

Monthly, 60 minutes. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

Annual, 6,000; Monthly, 3,000. 

General Description of Report: This 

information collection is voluntary (12 

U.S.C. 225A and 263). Generally, when 

the survey or study is conducted by an 

outside firm, names or other such 

directly identifying characteristics 

would not be reported to the Federal 

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 109 / Tuesday, June 9, 2009 / Notices 27321 

1 ‘‘Non-statistical’’ is defined precisely in 

CIPSEA. Loosely, an information collection 

undertaken for a non-statistical purpose would be 

one intended to support a regulatory action or other 

action specifically targeted to the entity on which 

data were collected. 

Reserve. In circumstances where 

identifying information is provided to 

the Federal Reserve, such information 

could possibly be protected from 

Freedom of Information Act disclosure 

by FOIA exemptions 4 and 6 (5 U.S.C. 

552(b)(4) and (6)). 

The Federal Reserve Board’s 

Microeconomic Surveys section in the 

Division of Research and Statistics is an 

official statistical unit, as defined under 

the Confidential Information Protection 

and Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA) 

of 2002 (44 U.S.C. 3501). When 

information is collected by a private 

contractor under the oversight of that 

section, there are stringent requirements 

for protecting the data and respondents 

may be given a legally binding pledge of 

confidentiality. The pledge would 

disallow any use of the data for a nonstatistical purpose.1 When the Federal 

Reserve collects data directly (that is, 

without the use of a private data 

collection company or other such 

agent), respondents may also be offered 

such a pledge if the data are intended 

for a statistical purpose. 

Abstract: The Federal Reserve would 

use this event-driven survey to obtain 

information specifically tailored to the 

Federal Reserve’s supervisory, 

regulatory, operational, and other 

responsibilities. The Federal Reserve 

proposes to conduct the FR 3051 up to 

13 times per year (including one survey 

on an annual basis and another on a 

monthly basis). The frequency and 

content of the questions would depend 

on changing economic, regulatory, or 

legislative developments. 

Current Actions: On March 30, 2009, 

the Federal Reserve published a notice 

in the Federal Register (74 FR 14126) 

requesting public comment for 60 days 

on the implementation of the 

Microeconomic Survey. The comment 

period for this notice expired on May 

29, 2009. The Federal Reserve did not 

receive any comments; the survey will 

be implemented as proposed.
