General Description of Collection: The collection requires insured state nonmember banks to comply with the Bank Protection Act and to review bank security programs The Bank Protection Act of 1968 (12 U.S.C. 1881-1884) requires each Federal supervisory agency to promulgate rules establishing minimum standards for security devices and procedures to discourage financial crime and to assist in the identification of persons who commit such crimes. To avoid the necessity of constantly updating a technology-based regulation, the FDIC takes a flexible approach to implementing this statute. It requires each insured nonmember bank to designate a security officer who will administer a written security program. The security program must: (1) Establish procedures for opening and closing for business and for safekeeping valuables; (2) establish procedures that will assist in identifying persons committing crimes against the bank; (3) provide for initial and periodic training of employees in their responsibilities under the security program; and (4) provide for selecting, testing, operating and maintaining security devices as prescribed in the regulation. In addition, the FDIC requires the security officer to report at least annually to the bank's board of directors on the effectiveness of the security program.
There is no change in the method or substance of the collection. The 48,683 increase in burden hours is the result of the agency re-evaluating the time it takes for recordkeeping and reporting associated with the rule, and including new implementation burdens for new entities and entities reviewing their policies in light of mergers and other organizational changes.
