----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    General Description of Collection: The information collected in 
these surveys is anecdotal in nature, that is, samples are not 
necessarily random, the results are not necessarily representative of a 
larger class of potential respondents, and the goal is not to produce a 
statistically valid and reliable database. Rather, the surveys are 
expected to yield anecdotal information about the particular 
experiences and opinions of members of the public, primarily staff at 
respondent banks or bank customers. The information is used to improve 
the way FDIC relates to its clients, to develop agendas for regulatory 
or statutory change, and in some cases to simply learn how particular 
policies or programs are working, or are perceived in particular cases.
    Current Action: The FDIC is proposing to renew this information 
collection.

Request for Comment

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether this collection of information 
is necessary for the proper performance of the FDIC's functions, 
including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimate of the burden of the information collection, 
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 information 
collection 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.
