Since the Federal Reserve does not collect any information associated with Reg H–2, confidentiality would not generally be an issue. However, confidentiality issues may arise should the records required by the Reg H–2 requirements come into possession of the Board during an examination of a state member bank, those records would be protected from disclosure by exemption 8 of the Freedom of Information Act. (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(8)).

Telephone: (202) 326–3397. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DATES: 75549 deceptive advertising and marketing practices. Part of this mission involves educating consumers, including young consumers. In April 2010, the FTC launched a youth-directed multi-media advertising literacy campaign called Admongo and distributed accompanying lesson plans to 100,000 educators in every U.S. public school with a fifth or sixth grade class. Admongo aims to help children from 8 to 12 become more discerning consumers of information. The program has three broad objectives: (1) Raising awareness of advertising and marketing messages; (2) teaching critical thinking skills that will allow children to better analyze and interpret advertisements; and (3) demonstrating the benefits of being an informed consumer. The program teaches students specific skills: How to identify ads, how to identify the ways advertisers target certain groups of consumers, how to spot persuasive techniques commonly employed by ads, and how to apply an understanding of advertising techniques to make smarter purchases. The campaign includes an online game, in-school lesson plans, sample ads that can be used at home and in the classroom, and teacher videos. All materials can be viewed at https://www.admongo.gov. The proposed evaluation will test a large group of students in these skills and then compare the performance of those who have been exposed to the Admongo curriculum with those who have not. The results will give the FTC valuable insight into the optimal design of youth-directed consumer education. The FTC is interested in: The relative effectiveness of in-class versus online instruction, the variation in Admongo’s benefits by age, pre-existing levels of ad literacy by age, and the relationship between ad literacy and academic achievement.1 The FTC also intends to interview teachers who have used the Admongo lessons in their classrooms. Teacher feedback will help us tailor the lessons to real-world classroom conditions. I. Background II. Paperwork Reduction Act Under the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521, federal agencies must obtain approval (‘‘clearance’’) from OMB for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor. ‘‘Collection of information’’ includes disclosure to an agency, third parties, or the public of information by or for an agency through identical questions posed to, or identical reporting, recordkeeping, or disclosure As the nation’s consumer protection agency, the FTC is responsible for enforcing laws that prohibit unfair and 1 All student-level data will be stripped of personally identifiable information by participating school districts before it reaches the FTC.
