    Abstract: The Bureau of Engraving and Printing requests approval to

surveys to evaluate changes in these measures; a survey to evaluate 
potential messages designed to encourage the public to examine and 
learn currency security features; a survey to evaluate potential 
taglines that will help call attention to new security features while 
maintaining confidence in U.S. currency; and, a survey to test draft 
materials to be developed in support of the program. The collection 
will also include in-depth interviews with bank tellers and others who 
frequently conduct cash transactions as part of their job, to identify 
special needs and tools for their use.
    Current Actions: This is a new collection.
