Abstract: Section 42 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act mandates that an institution proposing to close a branch give its primary regulator no less than 90 days written notice. Also, each insured depository institution must adopt branch closing policies.

Emergency Justfication: This information collection lapsed during a staffing shortage. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act mandates that an institution closing a branch notify its primary federal regulator no later than 90 days prior to the closing. The statute also provides that a notice be posted on the premises of the branch for the 30-day period immediately prior to the closing and that the customers be notified in a mailing at least 90 days prior to the closing. Emergency reinstatement is necessary because it is essential for the FDIC to ensure that its 4000+ institutions comply with the statutory mandate in order to protect depositors.
