General description of reports: The 

Interagency Notice of Change in Control 

form is used by an individual (or a 

group of individuals or companies that 

would not be bank holding companies 

(BHCs) or savings and loan holding 

companies (SLHCs) after consummation 

of the proposed transaction) seeking to 

acquire shares of an insured depository 

institution, SLHC or a BHC (or group of 

BHCs or SLHCs). The notice is 

submitted to the appropriate federal 

regulatory agency of the target 

organization. The notice includes a 

description of the proposed transaction, 

the related purchase price and funding 

source, and the personal and financial 

information of the proposed acquirer(s) 

and any proposed new management. 

The Interagency Notice of Change in 

Director or Senior Executive Officer 

form is used, under certain 

circumstances, by an insured depository 

institution, a BHC, SLHC, or the affected 

individual to notify one of the agencies 

of a proposed change in the institution’s 

board of directors or senior executive 

officers. The notice of proposed change 

in director or senior executive officer 

must be filed with the institution’s 

appropriate federal regulatory agency 

for prior consent if the institution is 

experiencing certain financial or 

supervisory difficulties. An insured 

depository institution, SLHC, or BHC is 

subject to this prior consent requirement 

if it is not in compliance with all 

minimum capital requirements, is in 

troubled condition or, otherwise, is 

required by the Board to provide such 

notice. 

The Interagency Biographical and 

Financial Report is used by certain 

shareholders, directors, and executive 

officers, in connection with different 

types of applications filed with the 

agencies. Information requested on this 

reporting form is subject to verification 

and must be complete. As with all the 

notices and reporting forms, requests for 

clarification or supplementation of the 

original filing may be necessary. 

The Interagency Bank Merger Act 

Application is an event-generated 

application and is completed by an 

insured depository institution each time 

the insured depository institution 

requests approval to effect a merger, 

consolidation, assumption of deposit 

liabilities, other combining transaction 

with a nonaffiliated party, or a corporate 

reorganization with an affiliated party. 

The form collects information on the 

basic legal and structural aspects of 

these transactions. 

Proposed revisions: The Board 

proposes to implement a number of 

revisions to the above information 

collections. The proposed changes are 

being made in order to: Improve the 

clarity of the requests; reflect new laws, 

regulations, capital requirements and 

accounting rules; delete information 

requests that are not typically useful for 

the analysis of the proposal; and add 

transparency for filers regarding the 

information that is required to consider 

a proposal. In determining which 

changes to propose, the agencies 

surveyed their regional offices to solicit 

recommendations for changes to the 

forms and considered the effects of the 

changes on community bank 

organizations, which represent the vast 

majority of filers. Although the revisions 

add items to these forms, the Board 

believes that some of these additions are 

related to information typically 

requested on a follow-up basis by the 

respective regulators. Requesting the 

information upfront should increase 

transparency for filers as well as the 

efficiency of the review process. 

The proposed changes for the 

Interagency Bank Merger Act 

Application form include additional 

requested items relating to information 

that was previously requested as 

supplemental information subsequent to 

the filing of the initial application; 

clarification of certain requested items 

related to biographical and financial 

information for principals and 

Community Reinvestment Act-related 

information; deletion of the request for 

cash flow projections for the parent 

company; updated requests to account 

for changed capital requirements and 

outdated accounting rules; and other 

minor changes for improved grammar, 

comprehension, accurate citations and 

mailing addresses. The current annual 

reporting burden for the Interagency 

Bank Merger Act Application form is 

estimated to be 1,800 hours. The 

proposed revisions are expected to 

increase the estimated average hours per 

response by one hour for a total burden 

of 1,864 hours. 

The proposed changes for the 

Interagency Notice of Change in Control 

form, Interagency Notice of Change in 

Director or Senior Executive Officer 

form, and the Interagency Biographical 

and Financial Report include additional 

requested items relating to information 

that generally was previously requested 

as supplemental information subsequent 

to the filing of the initial application; 

clarification of exact requirements of 

certain requests; deletion of certain 

requested items that the agencies no 

longer believe are helpful in evaluating 

the notice; and other minor changes for 

improved grammar, comprehension, 

and accurate citations and mailing 

addresses. 

The current annual reporting burden 

for these forms is estimated to be 11,302 

hours. The proposed revisions are 

expected to increase the estimated 

average hours per response for the 

Interagency Notice of Change in Control 

form and the Interagency Biographical 

and Financial Report by one half hour. 

No increase in estimated average hours 

per response is anticipated for the 

Interagency Notice of Change in Director 

or Senior Executive Officer form. The 

total proposed burden for these forms 

collections is 12,136 hours. The 

proposed reporting would be effective 

January 1, 2018. 

Legal authorization and 

confidentiality: Section 7(j) of the 

Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 

U.S.C. 1817(j)) authorizes the Board to 

require the information under the FR 

2081a and FR 2081c. Section 914 of the 

Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, 

and Enforcement Act (12 U.S.C. 1831(i)) 

authorizes the Board to require the 

information under the FR 2081b and FR 

2081c. 

The Federal Reserve treats the notices 

and reporting form as public 

documents. The organizations and 

individuals that submit the forms may 

request that all or a portion of the 

submitted information be kept 

confidential. In such cases, the filer 

must justify the exemption by 

demonstrating that disclosure would 

cause substantial competitive harm, 

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-by-case basis. 

Because information is being 

collected from individuals, the Federal 

Reserve is required to make certain 

disclosures to the notificant under the 

Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(3)). The 

disclosures made by the Federal Reserve 

on the current and proposed FR 2081 

meet the requirements of the Privacy 

Act. 

The Bank Merger Act requires, in 

relevant part, that a state member bank, 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 189 / Monday, October 2, 2017 / Notices 45849 

when it is the acquiring, assuming or 

resulting bank, obtain prior approval 

from the Board before merging or 

consolidating with another insured 

depository institution, or before 

acquiring the assets of or assuming 

liability to deposits made in any other 

insured depository institution. (12 

U.S.C. 1828(c)). The Federal Reserve 

treats the Interagency Bank Merger Act 

Application as a public document. 

However, applicants may request that 

parts of their applications be kept 

confidential. In such cases, the filer 

must justify the exemption by 

demonstrating that disclosure would 

cause ‘‘substantial competitive harm,’’ 

would 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-by-case basis. 

Consultation outside the agency: The 

interagency working group responsible 

for these reports is comprised of 

representatives from the Office of the 

Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the 

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 

(FDIC), and the Federal Reserve System, 

who collaborated to recommend the 

proposed revisions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Purpose 

In December 2015, the Fixing 

America’s Surface Transportation 

(FAST) Act outlined a set of 

fundamental requirements designed to 

change the way Federal government 

agencies carry out their permitting and 

environmental review responsibilities 

for major infrastructure projects. Section 

41003(a)(1)(A) of the FAST Act states 

that a ‘‘project sponsor of a covered 

project shall submit to the Executive 

Director and the facilitating agency 

notice of the initiation of a proposed 

covered project.’’ The statute goes on to 

describe the required information to be 

contained in this notice of initiation. 

In order to accommodate this 

statutory requirement, the Federal 

Permitting Improvement Steering 

Council (FPISC) has developed the 

Notice of Initiation form. The 

information collected via the Notice of 

Initiation form will be reviewed by the 

facilitating agency, as identified for the 

particular type of project under 

consideration, as well as the Executive 

Director of the FPISC in order to verify 

that the project in question qualifies to 

be considered a ‘‘covered project.’’ If the 

project outlined in the Notice of 

Initiation is accepted as a covered 

project, the project will be added to the 

online Permitting Dashboard and a 

series of steps will be taken by the 

facilitating agency and the Executive 

Director as outlined in Title XLI of the 

FAST Act. 

B. Annual Reporting Burden 

Respondents: 50. 

Responses Per Respondent: 1. 

Total Annual Responses: 50. 

Hours per Response: 3. 

Total Burden Hours: 150. 

C. Public Comments 

Public comments are particularly 

invited on: Whether this collection of 

information is necessary, whether it will 

have practical utility; whether our 

estimate of the public burden of this 

collection of information is accurate, 

and based on valid assumptions and 

methodology; ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and ways in 

which we can minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, through the use of 

appropriate technological collection 

techniques or other forms of information 

technology. 

Obtaining Copies of Proposals: 

Requesters may obtain a copy of the 

information collection documents from
