    The Treasury expects to develop and implement activities to enable 
eligible entities to develop and provide account products and services 
that are appropriate and accessible for low- and moderate- income 
individuals who are not fully incorporated into the financial 
mainstream.
    OFEFA invites comments and suggestions on potential activities, 
particularly those activities that may not require additional 
appropriations. OFEFA is particularly interested in comments in the 
following areas:

(1) Program Focus

    Section 1204(a) of the Act states that the Secretary is authorized 
to establish a multi-year program of grants, cooperative agreements, 
financial agency agreements, or similar contracts or undertakings to 
promote initiatives designed to: (1) Enable low- and moderate-income 
individuals to establish one or more accounts in a federally insured 
depository institution that are appropriate to meet the financial need 
of such individuals; and (2) improve access to the provision of 
accounts, on reasonable terms, for low- and moderate-income 
individuals. The Treasury welcomes comments on issues related to the 
purpose and intent of the section 1204 program, particularly with 
respect to the following questions:
    (a) What types of program initiatives should the Treasury promote 
to enable low- and moderate-income individuals to establish accounts in 
federally insured depository institutions?
    (b) How should the Treasury evaluate whether an account in a 
federally insured depository institution is ``appropriate'' to meet the 
financial needs of low- and moderate-income individuals? What account 
features and terms are ``reasonable'' to meet the financial needs of 
low- and moderate-income individuals in an appropriate manner?
    (c) What level of financial access should be the desired outcome of 
such initiatives? What other measures of success of the initiatives 
should be considered?
    (d) How can the Treasury enable, enhance and assist local, 
regional, and state start-up collaborations that incorporate low- and 
moderate- income individuals into the financial mainstream? How can 
existing collaborations be supported to expand or improve their 
financial access efforts? How could meaningful innovations be fostered 
by these collaborations?
    (e) How could the Treasury best encourage high-quality financial 
education and counseling relating to conducting transactions in and 
managing accounts?
    (f) What could be done to promote innovation within the development 
of sustainable financial services and products related to accounts? Are 
there opportunities for innovation in account products, services, 
delivery channels, or other areas that could be effectively addressed 
through the use of prizes, awards, and competitions? If so, what prizes 
or awards would be necessary to help promote account innovations?

(2) General Comments

    The Treasury is interested in comments on how it can encourage 
activities that enable low- and moderate-income individuals to 
establish one or more accounts in a federally insured depository 
institution and to improve access to the provision of such accounts. 
Additionally, we are interested in comments regarding other ways (in 
addition to the provision of accounts in federally insured depository 
institutions) for the Treasury to consider helping individuals obtain 
access to accounts with appropriate consumer protections and federal 
deposit insurance. Lastly, we are interested in comments on what should 
be done to support innovative approaches to the delivery of financial 
education and counseling to increase the financial capability of 
individuals and families more broadly?
