SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposal for the Following New
Generic Collection of Information
Title: Information Collection for
Qualitative Research
OMB Number: 3064–NEW.
Affected Public: Consumers and
financial services providers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
550.
Estimated Average Time per
Response: 3.125 hours (varying from 2.5
to 3.25 hours, including travel and
intake form).
Total Annual Burden: 1,750 hours.
General Description of Collection: The
FDIC plans to collect information from
consumers and financial services
providers through qualitative research

methods such as focus groups, in-depth
interviews, and/or qualitative virtual
methods. The information collected will
be used to deepen the FDIC’s
understanding of the knowledge,
experiences, behaviors, capabilities, and
preferences of consumers of financial
services. These qualitative research
methods will also contribute to the
FDIC’s understanding of how
consumers, including those who are
financially underserved, engage in
financial services. Interviews of
financial services providers are
intended to uncover details regarding
the opportunities and challenges
regarding the provision of an array of
financial services and products.
Qualitative type research does not
seek to measure or quantify results.
Instead, it will allow the FDIC to
explore in more depth consumers’
attitudes and behaviors toward financial
services that can inform FDIC’s
consumer protection, economic
inclusion, and asset building strategies,
as well as other consumer financial
research topics. These qualitative
methods will also provide an
opportunity to identify specific
financial services and terminology used
by these consumers that will improve
FDIC’s periodic economic inclusion
survey instruments (OMB Control Nos.
3064–0158 and 3064–0167). Interviews
of financial services providers will help
to improve the FDIC’s general
knowledge of the financial services
industry.
Participation in this information
collection will be voluntary and
conducted in person, by phone, or using
other methods, such as virtual
technology. The FDIC plans to retain an
experienced contractor(s) to recommend
the most appropriate collection method
based on the objectives of each
qualitative research effort. It is likely
that each qualitative research effort will
include a short intake form (1 or 2 pages
long). The FDIC will consult with OMB
regarding each specific information
collection during the approval period.
This voluntary collection of information
will put a slight burden on a very small
percentage of the public. The FDIC
estimates that, over the three-year
clearance period of this request,
approximately 150 focus groups and 120
one-on-one interviews will be
conducted for a variety of projects
associated with financial services.
Including travel time, this represents a
total burden of approximately 5,250
hours or 1,750 hours per year for three
years (3.25 hours per participant,
including travel time and intake form ×
500 participants) + (2.5 hour per

participant, including travel time × 50
participants).
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
June 2013.
