access and financial education.

will collect information from participating providers on a quarterly 
basis including the aggregate number of low- and moderate-income 
individuals who have opened accounts, the aggregate amount in such 
accounts, and the aggregate number of low- and moderate-income 
individuals receiving financial education. The Department of the 
Treasury will not collect any personally identifiable financial 
information.
    Type of Review: New.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and Not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 100 respondents, 4 responses per

will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All 
comments will become a matter of public record and subject to public 
disclosure in their entirety. You should submit only comments that you 
wish to make available publicly. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 
the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance 
of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall 
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of 
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) 
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
