SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposal To Renew the Following Currently-Approved Collection of Information
Title: Account Based Disclosures in Connection with Federal Reserve Regulations E, CC, and DD.
OMB Number: 3064-0084.
Affected Public: Insured financial institutions.
Estimated Annual Burden Hours:
Regulation E: 2,664,895 hours.
Regulation CC: 471,551 hours.
Regulation DD: 325,398 hours.
Total Estimated Burden Hours: 3,461,844 hours.
General Description of Collection: The FDIC's OMB-approved collection provides for the application of the information collection requirements of three FRB rules to state nonmember banks. The three rules are:
• Regulation E ("Electronic Fund Transfers," 12 CFR Part 205);
• Regulation CC ("Availability of Funds," 12 CFR Part 229); and
• Regulation DD ("Truth in Savings," 12 CFR Part 230).
[top] Generally, the Regulation E disclosures are designed to ensure consumers receive adequate disclosure of basic terms, costs, and rights relating to electronic fund transfer (EFT) services provided to them so that they can make informed decisions. Like Regulation E, Regulation CC has consumer protection disclosure requirements. Specifically, Regulation CC requires depository institutions to make funds deposited in transaction accounts available within specified time periods, disclose their availability policies to customers, and begin accruing interest on such deposits promptly.
Regulation DD also has similar consumer protection disclosure requirements that are intended to assist consumers in comparing deposit accounts offered by institutions, principally through the disclosure of fees, the annual percentage yield, and other account terms. Regulation DD requires depository institutions to disclose yields, fees, and other terms concerning deposit accounts to consumers at account opening, upon request, and when changes in terms occur.
Request for Comment
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is 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 collection, 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 information collection 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.
Dated at Washington, DC, this 14th day of November, 2014.

Executive Secretary.
