    OMB Control Number: 1530-0022.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Market Research Study.
    Abstract: This information collection is a generic clearance to 
conduct customer satisfaction surveys, focus groups, and interviews 
among recipients of federal benefit and vendor payments through EFT. 
The need for this market research continues to arise from a 
Congressional directive that accompanied legislation enacted in 1996, 
as part of the Debt Collection Improvement Act (Pub. L. 104-134), 
expanding the scope of check recipients required to use direct deposit 
to receive Federal benefit payments (see 31 U.S.C. 3332). Congress 
directed Treasury to ``study the socioeconomic and

demographic characteristics of those who currently do not have Direct 
Deposit and determine how best to increase usage among all groups.'' 
142 Cong. Rec. H4090 (daily ed. April 25, 1996).
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 5,200.
