Needs and Uses: The Alternative
Broadcast Inspection Program (ABIP) is
a series of agreements between the
Federal Communications Commission’s
(FCC) Enforcement Bureau and a private
entity, usually a state broadcast
association, whereby the private entity
agrees to facilitate inspections (and reinspections, where appropriate) of
participating broadcast stations to
determine station compliance with FCC
regulations. Broadcast stations
participate in ABIP on a voluntary basis.
The private entities notify their local
FCC District Office or Resident Agent
Office in writing of those stations that
pass the ABIP inspection and have been
issued a Certificate of Compliance by
the ABIP inspector. The FCC uses this
information to determine which
broadcast stations have been certified in
compliance with FCC Rules and will not
be subject to certain random FCC
inspections.

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 Annual Number of
Respondents: 760.
Estimated Average Time per
Response: 2.94 hours (varying from 1 to
3.5 hours, including, where applicable,
travel time and intake form).
Total Estimated Annual Burden:
2,235 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, use a range of

different types of bank and non-bank
financial services. Interviews of
financial services providers are
intended to provide greater insight into
the providers’ perceptions of the
opportunities and challenges of
providing an array of financial services
and products. These qualitative
methods will also provide an
opportunity to test and improve other
survey efforts conducted by the FDIC.
For instance, it could help identify
specific financial services and
terminology used by consumers and
financial industry professionals to
improve FDIC’s economic inclusion
survey instruments (OMB Control Nos.
3064–0158 and 3064–0167). The FDIC
does not intend to use qualitative
research to measure or quantify results.
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, it may
conduct annually up to 50 focus groups,
110 one-on-one in-person or phone
interviews, four cognitive testing
sessions, and one virtual survey for a
variety of projects associated with
financial services.

methodology and assumptions used; (c)
