General Description of Collection: The collection involves forms used by the FDIC to obtain information from individual depositors and deposit brokers necessary to supplement the records of failed depository institutions to make determinations regarding deposit insurance coverage for depositors of failed institutions. The information provided allows the FDIC to identify the actual owners of an account and each owner's interest in the account.

Current Action: The FDIC is proposing modifications, which may be considered substantive and material, to the following forms: 7200/10, Declaration for Combined Contribution Plan; 7200/12, Declaration for Defined Benefit Plan; and 7200/14, Declaration for Health and Welfare Plan. The content of the forms was revised to reflect current deposit insurance rules and regulations; to focus on the collection of information required for an insurance determination; and to incorporate applicable Code of Federal Regulations (both FDIC and non-FDIC) citations. The FDIC also proposes modifications, which may be considered non-substantive and nonmaterial, to the following forms: 7200/04, Declaration for Government Deposit; 7200/05, Declaration for Revocable Living Trust; 7200/06, Declaration of Independent Activity; 7200/07, Declaration of Independent Activity for Unincorporated Association; 7200/08, Declaration of Joint Ownership Deposit; 7200/09, Declaration of Testamentary Deposit; 7200/11, Declaration of IRA Keogh Deposit; 7200/13, Declaration of Custodian Deposit; 7200/15, Declaration for Plan and Trust; and 7200/18, Declaration for Irrevocable Trust. Finally, the FDIC proposes to add two new forms: 7200/24, Claimant Verification Form, 7200/24, and Depositor Interview Form, 7200/06. The purpose of the new forms is to facilitate collection of specific information that the FDIC will need in calculating insurance coverage after a bank failure.
