    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. 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. The FDIC will consult 
with OMB regarding each specific information collection during the 
approval period.

Request for Comment

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collections of information 
are 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 collections, 
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 collections of 
information 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.
