SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FDIC is requesting OMB approval to renew 
the following information collection:
    Title: Occasional Qualitative Surveys.
    OMB Number: 3064-0127.
    Estimated number of surveys per year: 15.
    Estimated response time per survey: 1 hour.
    Estimated number of respondents per survey: 850 hours.
    Total Annual Burden: 12,500 hours.
    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.

Request for Comment

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether these 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 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.

    Dated at Washington, DC, this 6th day of May, 2013.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Robert E. Feldman,
Executive Secretary.
