When a bank fails, the FDIC must provide depositors insured funds ââas soon as possibleââ after failure while also resolving the failed bank in the least costly manner. The 12 CFR Part 370 facilitates prompt payment of FDIC-insured deposits when large insured depository institutions fail. The rule requires insured depository institutions that have two million or more deposit accounts ("covered institutions"), to maintain complete and accurate data on each depositorâs ownership interest by right and capacity for all of the covered institutionâs deposit accounts. The covered institutions are required to develop the capability to calculate the insured and uninsured amounts for each deposit owner, by ownership right and capacity, for all deposit accounts. This data would be used by the FDIC to make timely deposit insurance determinations in the event of a covered insured depository institutionâs failure.
The change in burden is 4,675,375 hours from the 5,226,520 hours originally reported under the 2016 final rule to 551,145 hours for the annualized total burden under the 2019 final rule. A reduction of 139,287 hours is due to changes made by the final rule and the balance is due to estimate adjustments and error corrections made by the agency.
The original (2016 rule) estimated total burden for this information collection was 5,226,520 hours. That burden should have been annualized over the three-year implementation period contemplated under the 2016 rule. The correct annual burden should have been entered in ROCIS as 1,755,499 hours. In other words, burden was overstated by 3,471,021 hours. The current burden estimates incorporate a correction of this error.
