The FDIC will
review and implement,as appropriate the prior terms of clearance.
Previous Terms of Clearance/Comments: LENDING INSTITUTION USAGE AND
LENDING INSTITUTION RELATIONSHIPS (QUESTIONS 70-71). For the next
year, FDIC will consider any material distinctions between the ways
in which respondents use/don't use traditional banks and lending
institutions (the current purpose of Questions 70-71) and what it
means for the targeted population to have a relationship with these
institutions. In considering these distinctions, FDIC will consider
whether additional questions related to relationships will serve
the collection's overarching purpose (statutory and specific to the
information collection) in attempting to understand banking
behavior and banking needs among banked, unbanked, and underbanked
households. FDIC will conduct cognitive testing on any new
questions prior to OMB review. FDIC will provide OMB with an update
on this process one year from the approval date for this
collection. EFINITION OF ALTERNATIVE FINANCING SERVICES (AFS)
(QUESTION 127 AND ANY QUESTIONS RELATED TO ALTERNATIVE FINANCIAL
SERVICES). As soon as possible, FDIC must update the definition of
"Alternative Financing Services" to reflect all material
characteristics of services within this category. Specifically, if
the collection of information for this category intends to capture
usage of only high risk (and thus high interest rate or fee)
services, the definition should reflect this criteria and should
provide an explanation of how it serves both the underlying
statutory mandate and the overall goals of this information
collection. FDIC is currently applying the high risk criteria in
collecting AFS information. This definition update must be
published prior to the renewal of the collection since FDIC is
currently applying this criteria. SCOPE OF AFS. For next year, FDIC
will consider whether peer to peer lending, including lending
circles, should be added to the definition of AFS and whether new
questions should be added to collect information on the use of such
services. FDIC will conduct cognitive testing on any new questions
prior to OMB review. FDIC will provide OMB with an update on this
process one year from the approval date for this collection.
