EPA and Tuleyome.
The Site that is the subject of this

Central Valley Region.
The performance of this work by
Tuleyome will be overseen by EPA. The
settlement includes a covenant not to
sue Tuleyome pursuant to Sections 106
or 107(a) of CERCLA. EPA will consider
all comments received on the

Comment Request (3064–0167)
Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC).
ACTION: Notice and request for comment.
AGENCY:
The FDIC, as part of its
obligations under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on the renewal of an existing
information collection for its sixth
National Survey of Unbanked and
Underbanked Households (Household
Survey), currently approved under OMB
Control No. 3064–0167. The Household
Survey is scheduled to be conducted in
partnership with the U.S. Census
Bureau as a supplement to its June 2019
Current Population Survey (CPS). The
survey seeks to measure and track
economic inclusion among U.S.
households, and to identify the factors
that inhibit the participation of these
households in the mainstream banking
system and opportunities to expand the
use of banking services among
underserved consumers. The results of
these ongoing surveys will help
policymakers and bankers understand
the issues and challenges underserved
households perceive when deciding
how and where to conduct financial
transactions. On November 6, 2018, the
FDIC requested comment for 60 days on
a proposal to renew these information
collections. The FDIC received two
comments which are discussed below.
The FDIC hereby gives notice of its plan
to submit to OMB a request to approve
the renewal of this information
collection, and again invites comment
on the renewal.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before March 25, 2019.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are
invited to submit written comments to
the FDIC by any of the following
methods:
• https://www.FDIC.gov/regulations/
laws/federal.
• Email: comments@fdic.gov. Include
the name and number of the collection
in the subject line of the message.
• Mail: Manny Cabeza (202–898–

Deposit Insurance Corporation, 550 17th

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposal To Renew the Following
Currently Approved Collection of
Information
Title: National Survey of Unbanked
and Underbanked Households.
OMB Number: 3064–0167.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Affected Public: U.S. Households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
40,000.
Average Time per Response: 9
minutes (0.15 hours) per respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 0.15
hours × 40,000 respondents = 6,000
hours.
General Description of Collection: The
FDIC recognizes that public confidence
in the banking system is strengthened
when banks effectively serve the
broadest possible set of consumers. As
a result, the agency is committed to
increasing economic inclusion in the
financial mainstream by ensuring that
all Americans have access to safe,
secure, and affordable banking services.
The National Survey of Unbanked and
Underbanked Households is one
contribution to this end.
The National Survey of Unbanked and
Underbanked Households is also a key
component of the FDIC’s efforts to
comply with a Congressional mandate
contained in section 7 of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Reform Conforming
Amendments Act of 2005 (‘‘Reform
Act’’) (Pub. L. 109–173), which calls for
the FDIC to conduct ongoing surveys
‘‘on efforts by insured depository
institutions to bring those individuals
and families who have rarely, if ever,
held a checking account, a savings
account or other type of transaction or
check cashing account at an insured
depository institution (hereafter in this
section referred to as the ‘unbanked’)
into the conventional finance system.’’
Section 7 further instructs the FDIC to
consider several factors in its conduct of
the surveys, including: (1) ‘‘What
cultural, language and identification
issues as well as transaction costs
