    General Description of Collection: This collection includes 
reporting, recordkeeping and disclosure requirements associated with 
the FDIC's TLGP. The TLGP is comprised of (1) a guarantee by the FDIC 
of unsecured, unsubordinated debt of participating, insured, depository 
institutions, their bank holding companies, financial holding 
companies, and thrift holding companies (other than unitary thrift

[[Page 27038]]

holding companies) issued between October 14, 2008, and October 31, 
2009, with guarantees expiring on the earlier of the date of maturity 
or December 31, 2012, and with a system of fees to be paid by these 
institutions for such guarantees; and (2) a 100 percent guaranty of 
non-interest bearing, transaction accounts held by insured depository 
institutions until December 31, 2009 (FDIC guarantees). The TLGP is 
designed to strengthen confidence and encourage liquidity in the 
banking system in order to ease lending to creditworthy businesses and 
consumers. The reporting, recordkeeping and disclosure requirements 
apply to eligible entities participating in either the Debt Guarantee 
Component of the program or the Deposit Guarantee Component or both. 
The information obtained allows the FDIC to monitor its exposure under 
the TLGP and determine assessments for entities participating in the 
program. The required disclosures ensure that depositors, debt holders, 
and the general public are on notice as to which entities are 
participating in the program, the extent to which deposits in 
noninterest-bearing transaction accounts are FDIC-insured, and whether 
newly-issued, senior, unsecured debt is guaranteed by the FDIC.
    Request for Comment
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether this 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 methodologies 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 
collection 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 2nd day of June, 2009.

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