General Description of Collection: This information collection involves the submission of various forms by (1) contractors who wish to do business with the FDIC
or are currently under contract with the FDIC, (2) those vendors and parties participating in innovation pilot programs and
prize competitions with the possibility of being awarded a contract, and (3) government agencies or commercial businesses
that provide FDIC with past performance information. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the Act) (12 U.S.C. 1819) empowers
the FDIC to enter into contracts using private sector contractors to provide goods or services. The Act also provides that
the FDIC may promulgate policies and procedures to administer the powers granted to it, including the power to enter into
contracts. Pursuant to such policies, the Acquisition and Corporate Services Branch of the FDIC's Division of Administration
has developed forms and clauses to facilitate the procurement of goods and services from private sector contractors. The information
collected through these forms and clauses falls under the definition of collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA). The FDIC is revising Form 7400/04A by removing certain language and questions in the form to comply with
Executive Order 14151. The decreased burden is due to the removal of Questions 3, 4, and 7.

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.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
