3. Title: Covered Financial Company Asset Purchaser Eligibility Certification.

OMB Number: 3064-0194.

Forms: 7300/10.

Affected Public: Any individual or entity that is a potential purchaser of assets from (1) the FDIC as receiver for a Covered Financial Company (CFC); or (2) a bridge financial company (BFC) which requires the approval of the FDIC, as receiver for the predecessor CFC and as the sole shareholder of the BFC ( e.g., the BFC's sale of a significant business line).

Burden Estimate:

Information collection (obligation to respond) Type of burden (frequency of responses) Number of respondents Number of responses per respondents Time per response (HH:MM) Annual burden (hours)
Covered Financial Company Asset Sales Purchaser Eligibility Certification Reporting 66 1 02:30 165
Total Annual Burden (Hours): 165
Source: FDIC.

General Description of Collection: The Covered Financial Company (CFC) Asset Purchaser Eligibility implements the statutory requirement that assets held by the FDIC in the course of liquidating any covered financial company not be sold to persons who contributed in specified ways to the demise of a covered financial company. The FDIC implemented this requirement in its regulations at 12 CFR 380.13. Prospective purchasers are required to complete and submit a Purchaser Eligibility Certification (PEC) to the FDIC. The PEC is a self-certification by a prospective purchaser that it does not fall into any of the categories of individuals or entities that are prohibited by statute or regulation from purchasing assets of a CFC. The PEC will be required of any individual or entity that is a potential purchaser of assets from the FDIC, whether in its corporate capacity or as a conservator or receiver, for (1) a CFC; or (2) a Bridge Financial Company (BFC).

The FDIC is increasing the total burden associated with this collection from 5 hours to 165 hours. The estimate for the number of respondents has increased from 10 to 66. The responses per respondent is unchanged from the 2021 submission. The estimate for hours per response represents a 1.5-hour increase from the 2021 submission. This increase is due to a change in calculation methodology.

Request for Comment

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collections of information are 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 collections, including the validity of the methodology 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 collections of information 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.
