Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 109 / Thursday, June 7, 2007 / Notices and data collection aspects of the pilot program. For this purpose, the FDIC anticipates that the following (or similar) information will be collected from participating institutions on a quarterly basis for two years: 1. Information about the loans in the Program a. The total number and total dollar amount of loans. b. Average loan term and average dollar size of loans. c. Average interest rates charged, average fees levied, and average calculations of APR (as required by the Truth-in-Lending Act). d. Aggregate delinquency, charge off, and workout refinancing data. 2. Information about the business value of the Program a. Profitability and/or break even data for the overall Program. b. Profitability of the overall customer relationship (especially if the customer migrated into other products) c. Information regarding whether customers of the Program migrated to other bank products. 3. Information about the benefit to consumers a. The total number and total dollar amount of linked savings accounts opened as part of the Program. b. Information as to duration and withdrawal rates of the linked savings accounts. c. Information regarding whether customers of the Program continued to use payday loans or other high-cost debt products. The preferred method for collecting these data is electronic submission through the existing FDICconnect data interface system to minimize burden on respondents, with participating institutions submitting the data within 40 calendar days of the end of each quarter. The study will conform to privacy rules and will not request any information that could be used to identify individual bank customers, such as name, address, or account number. All data from participating insured institutions will remain confidential. It is the intent of the FDIC to publish only general findings of the study. rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES Benefits to Institutions Participating in the Pilot As indicated above, the study is being conducted on a volunteer basis. It is anticipated, however, that institutions participating in the study will realize some benefits. A state non-member bank that establishes a loan program that provides small, unsecured consumer loans that are consistent with the Affordable Small-Dollar Loan VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:59 Jun 06, 2007 Jkt 211001 Guidelines would warrant favorable consideration by the FDIC under the CRA as an activity responsive to the credit needs of its community. It is anticipated that other institutions will also likely be entitled to similar favorable consideration after review by their primary federal regulator. Moreover, programs that transition low or moderate income borrowers from higher cost loans to lower cost loans are particularly responsive to community needs. Consequently, state non-member banks offering lower cost alternatives to such borrowers will also be viewed by the FDIC as particularly responsive in the CRA examination and similarly, other institutions upon review by their primary federal regulator. Where small-dollar loan products are combined with a low-cost savings account, institutions may also qualify for favorable consideration for providing community development services. Institutions can potentially use the small-dollar loan pilot to tap into new markets by expanding relationships with individuals who currently may not be fully utilizing the mainstream financial system. An intangible benefit that may accrue to institutions participating in the small-dollar pilot is the community goodwill that will likely be created as a result of offering consumers credit products with significant savings over payday loan fees. Request for Comment Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the 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 estimates of the burden of the information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (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; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs, and costs of operation, maintenance and purchase of services to provide the information.
