SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: On March 31, 2016, the FTC sought comment on the
information collection requirements associated with the proposed Fraud
Survey (81 FR 18628). Three comments were received.\1\ Pursuant to the
OMB regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, that implement the PRA, 44 U.S.C.
3501-3521, the Commission is providing this second opportunity for
public comment. All comments should be filed as prescribed in the
ADDRESSES section above, and must be received on or before January 5,
2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ The comments are available at https://www.ftc.gov/policy/public-comments/initiative-658.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

As part of its consumer protection mission, the FTC has brought
hundreds of cases targeting perpetrators of consumer fraud and has
committed significant resources to educational initiatives designed to
protect consumers against such fraud. In order to ensure that its
efforts in fighting fraud are as effective as possible, the Commission
would like to make certain that it has current data on the prevalence
of various types of consumer fraud.
The Commission has conducted three previous surveys designed to
estimate the prevalence of consumer fraud among U.S. adults. The most
recent survey was conducted between November 2011 and February 2012. A
report describing the findings of that survey--Consumer Fraud in the
United States, 2011: The Third FTC Survey--was released in April 2013
and can be found at https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/documents/reports/consumer-fraud-united-states-2011-third-ftc-survey/130419fraudsurvey_0.pdf.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\2\ Each survey was conducted under OMB Control Number 3084-
0125. The first consumer fraud survey was conducted in May and June
of 2003. The results of that survey are reported in ``Consumer Fraud
in the United States: An FTC Survey'' (https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/documents/reports/consumer-fraud-united-states-ftc-survey/040805confraudrpt.pdf). The 2005 survey was conducted in
November and December of 2005 and the findings of that survey are
reported in ``Consumer Fraud in the United States: The Second FTC
Survey,'' (https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/documents/reports/consumer-fraud-united-states-second-federal-trade-commission-survey-staff-report-federal-trade/fraud.pdf).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 2011 survey asked about consumers' experiences with 15 specific
and two more general types of fraud during the previous year. Among
frauds covered by the survey were the purchase of a weight-loss product
that did not work as promised, paying money or making a required
purchase to obtain a promised prize or lottery winnings that had never
been received, and being billed for a buyers' club membership that a
person had not agreed to purchase. Based on the survey results, during
2011, 25.6 million U.S. adults--10.8 percent of the U.S. adult
population--were victims of one or more of the frauds covered by the
survey.
Among the 15 specific frauds included in the survey, the most
frequently reported was the purchase of a weight-loss product that the
seller falsely represented would allow the user to lose a substantial
amount of weight easily or lose the weight without diet or exercise.
The survey results suggested that during 2011 5.1 million consumers--
2.1 percent of the U.S. adult population--had tried such a product and
found that they only lost a little of the weight they had expected to
lose or failed to lose any weight at all.
Description of the Collection of Information and Proposed Use: The
FTC proposes to conduct a telephone survey of 3,700 randomly-selected
consumers nationwide age 18 and over--100 in a pretest and 3,600 in the
main survey--in order to gather specific information on the incidence
of consumer fraud in the general population. As before, in order to
obtain a more reliable picture of the experience of demographic groups
that the earlier surveys found to be at an elevated risk of becoming
victims of consumer fraud--including Hispanics and African Americans--
the survey may oversample members of these groups. All information will
be collected on a voluntary basis, and information on the identities of
participants will not be collected. Subject to OMB approval for the
survey,

[[Page 87937]]

the FTC plans to contract with a consumer research firm to identify
consumers and conduct the survey. The results will assist the FTC in
determining the incidence of consumer fraud in the general population
and whether the type or frequency of consumer fraud is changing. This
information will inform the FTC about how best to combat consumer
fraud.
The FTC's proposed sample size is similar to that used in the
previous surveys. Many of the questions will be similar to the 2005 and
2011 surveys so that the results of the proposed survey can be compared
to those from the earlier ones.\3\ The FTC may choose to conduct
another follow-up survey in approximately five years.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\3\ The survey instrument for the 2011 Consumer Fraud Survey is
included in the 2013 report as Appendix D.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Estimated hours burden: The FTC will pretest the survey on
approximately 100 respondents to ensure that all questions are easily
understood. This pretest will take approximately 20 minutes per
participant on average and 33 hours as a whole (100 respondents x 20
minutes each.). Answering the final survey will require approximately
15 minutes per respondent on average and 900 hours as a whole (3,600
respondents x 15 minutes each). Additionally, 100 interviews will be
conducted with non-respondents--those who refused to participate or
those with whom we did not have contact. These interviews will take
approximately 5 minutes each, for a total burden of 8 hours. Thus,
cumulative total burden will be approximately 941 hours.
Estimated Cost Burden: The cost per respondent should be
negligible. Participation is voluntary and will not require start-up,
capital, or labor expenditures by respondents.
Analysis of Comments Received: As noted above, three comments were
received in response to the March 31, 2016 Federal Register Notice. A
comment from Douglas M. Brooks, dated June 13, 2016, suggested that the
survey should be designed to ``reflect the incidence of fraud in
vulnerable populations, including non-English speaking persons and
undocumented residents.'' As in prior surveys, the proposed survey will
be conducted in both English and Spanish. In addition, questions are
being added to the survey to determine whether the person being
interviewed has recently immigrated to the United States.
A comment from Vin Dwyer, dated March 26, 2016, asked that the
survey be structured to gather information about fraud that is the
result of telemarketing calls to landline phones. As have prior
surveys, the proposed survey will collect information about experiences
of fraud that are promoted by a wide variety of communication methods,
including landline telephone.
A comment from William Keep, John Breyault, and Peter Vander Nat
(``Keep et al.''), dated June 11, 2016, requested greater clarity about
changes in the data regarding victims of pyramid schemes. The
commenters noted that a change was made in the definition of who was
counted as being a victim of a pyramid scheme between the first FTC
fraud survey, which was conducted in 2003, and the second survey,
conducted in 2005. As they noted, this change and a discussion of the
impact on the resulting estimates was discussed in the 2007 report that
described the findings of the second survey. However, this change was
not noted in the subsequent report on the 2011 survey, and the
commenters were concerned that someone who looked only at the first and
third reports might miss the change. While it seems somewhat unlikely
that someone reading any report from the currently proposed survey
would simply compare those figures to the first survey, which was
conducted more than a dozen years before the proposed one, the
Commission will seek to make clear that changes have been made.
Keep et al. also point out that a significant percentage of
consumers only have cell phones and that it may be necessary to include
calls to cell phones in conducting a telephone survey. Indeed, the 2011
survey included cell phones in the sample design. Moreover, in the
proposed survey, 70 percent of interview calls will be to consumers
using cell phones.
Keep et al. also express concern that some researchers who have
used the information in the prior surveys have failed to note when
differences between survey results are not statistically significant.
When the FTC has made such comparisons, it has indicated whether the
differences are significant or not and it will endeavor to do so for
any future reports.
Finally, Keep et al. express concern about the FTC's discontinuing,
after the initial 2003 survey, to collect and report on whether victims
of the frauds covered by the surveys have complained about their
experiences. In fact, FTC staff have collected data on complaining
behavior in each of the later surveys and will do so for the proposed
survey. Unfortunately, FTC staff have not had sufficient time to
analyze these data since the initial report but hope to do such an
analysis in the future.
