FDIC Forms Renewed; 13,326 Hour Burden

The collection’s estimated total annual burden is 13,326 hours across the listed forms (e.g., Forms 1600/04, 1600/07, 3700/04A, 3700/12, 3700/44, 3700/57). Send comments by June 22, 2026.
Form 3700/04A Questions Removed
The FDIC is revising Form 3700/04A (Contractor Representations and Certifications) by removing Questions 3, 4, and 7 to comply with Executive Order 14151; the agency says this will decrease respondent burden for that form. The change is part of the renewal for OMB No. 3064-0072.
New Nondiscrimination Reporting Clause
The FDIC will add a clause (FAR 55.222-90) requiring contractors to report potential discrimination and to comply with applicable nondiscrimination and equal employment opportunity standards as a performance requirement for new contracts.
