covered institution represented that it
performed extensive review of joint
account records to verify satisfaction of
the signature-card requirement set forth
in 12 CFR 330.9(c)(1)(ii). For the
population of joint accounts without
signature cards signed by each joint
account owner, the covered institution
conducted a multi-tiered remediation
effort to determine whether an
alternative method could be used to
satisfy the signature-card requirement
pursuant to 12 CFR 330.9(c)(4).3
Remediation included the utilization
of software to digitally scan signature
cards and development of a various
technical solutions to review usage of
joint deposit accounts by each coowner.4
The covered institution represented
that it could not verify whether a
limited number of joint accounts (the
‘‘subject accounts’’) were ‘‘qualifying
joint accounts’’ because it could not
locate signed signature cards nor could
it confirm that the signature-card
requirement is satisfied via an
alternative method. The FDIC granted
this covered institution a time-limited
exception to continue remediation
efforts to verify the signature-card
requirement is satisfied.
In connection with the FDIC’s grant of
relief, the covered institution has
represented that it will place the subject
accounts into the pending file of its part
370 output files and that access to all
subject accounts can be restricted in the
event of the covered institution’s failure
until qualifying joint account status is
confirmed. As conditions of relief, the
covered institution must: Within 30
days from the receipt of notification of
the grant of relief, submit a plan to
part370@fdic.gov detailing remediation
efforts to meet the signature-card
requirements of 12 CFR 330.9, such as
outreach, manual review, disclosures, or
digital analysis for the subject accounts;
submit a status report to part370@
fdic.gov by the midpoint of the
exception relief period; and
immediately bring to the FDIC’s
of this section is satisfied; and (iii) each co-owner
possesses withdrawal rights on the same basis.
3 Pursuant to 12 CFR 330.9(c)(4), the signaturecard requirement also may be satisfied by
information contained in the deposit account
records establishing co-ownership of the deposit
account, such as evidence that the institution has
issued a mechanism for accessing the account to
each co-owner or evidence of usage of the deposit
account by each co-owner.
4 The covered institution provided a summary of
13 unique analyses performed to confirm
ownership of joint accounts. Such analysis
included the manual or systematic review of issued
debit cards, issued checks, web banking ids, ACH
transactions, safety deposit box records, or bank
maintained call logs evidencing ownership of a
joint account.

‘‘The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey
(MEPS) Social and Health Experiences
Self-Administered Questionnaire and
COVID–19 Changes’’
The Medical Expenditure Panel
Survey (MEPS) consists of the following
three components and has been
conducted annually since 1996:
• Household Component (MEPS–HC):
A sample of households participating in
the National Health Interview Survey
(NHIS) in the prior calendar year are
interviewed 5 times over a 2 and onehalf (2.5) year period. These 5
interviews yield two years of
information on use of, and expenditures
for, health care, sources of payment for
that health care, insurance status,
employment, health status and health
care quality.
• Medical Provider Component: The
MEPS–MPC collects information from
medical and financial records
maintained by hospitals, physicians,
pharmacies and home health agencies
named as sources of care by household
respondents.
E:\FR\FM\04AUN1.SGM
04AUN1
47215
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 150 / Tuesday, August 4, 2020 / Notices
• Insurance Component: The MEPS–
IC collects information on establishment
characteristics, insurance offerings and
premiums from employers. The MEPS–
IC is conducted by the Census Bureau
for AHRQ and is cleared separately.
This request is for the MEPS–HC only.
The OMB Control Number for the
MEPS–HC is 0935–0118, which was last
approved by OMB on November 8,
2019, and will expire on November 30,
2022.
The purpose of this request is to
integrate several items into the MEPS–
HC including several new questions
related to COVID–19 including
telehealth/telemedicine questions into
the computer assisted personal
interviewing (CAPI) questionnaire and a
new self-administered questionnaire
(SAQ) entitled, ‘‘Social and Health
Experiences,’’ into the MEPS. The
questions on COVID–19 capture
information on any delay in care due to
COVID–19. The questions will be
administered through a Reporting Unit
(RU)-level gate question with follow up
questions asked at the person level as
appropriate. Telehealth/telemedicine
will be administered as its own event
type with questions and probes
mirroring those used for in-person
medical provider visits. This SAQ will
include questions in a dual mode (web
and paper) self-administered
questionnaire about social and
behavioral determinants of health
including questions about housing
affordability and quality, neighborhood
characteristics, food security,
transportation needs, financial strain,
smoking and physical activity, and
experiences with discrimination, social
support, general well-being, personal
safety, and adverse circumstances in
childhood. The information collected
will be used to examine the relationship
between measures of the social
determinants of health and measures of
health status, and the use and expense
of health care services. The goal of this
survey is to help understand the
relationship between social
determinants of health and health care
need in order to ultimately improve
health care and health.
This study is being conducted by
AHRQ through its contractors, Westat
and RTI International, pursuant to
AHRQ’s statutory authority to conduct
and support research on healthcare and
on systems for the delivery of such care,
including activities with respect to the
cost and use of health care services and
with respect to health statistics and
surveys. 42 U.S.C. 299a(a)(3) and (8); 42
U.S.C. 299b–2.
Method of Collection
Data collection will be for eligible
adults (aged 18 and over). AHRQ
proposes a dual-mode (web and paper)
collection primarily to further protect
respondents’ privacy due to the
sensitive nature of some of the items.
Web completion will be the main mode
with paper offered to those with barriers
to internet access. In addition, due to
COVID–19, in March of 2020, MEPS
moved to telephone interviewing for all
panels and rounds currently in the field
with increased use of the web to
facilitate respondent reporting; for
example, the use of showcards. The
current plan is resume at least some
face-to-face interviewing during the fall
rounds for Panels 23, 24, and 25.
Moreover, Panels 23 and 24 are to be
extended one year with the creation of
Round 6 and 7 interviews in order to
contribute to the data collected for data
years 2020 and 2021. The data collected
will offset any impact on response rates
due to the pandemic or changes in
primary mode for data collection.
The new CAPI questions collecting
information about COVID–19, including
telehealth, will be folded into the
regular processing stream of MEPS data
to produce estimates of health care
utilization and expenditures.
Estimated Annual Respondent Burden
Exhibit 1 shows the estimated
annualized burden hours for
respondent’s time to participate in this
research. The addition of several
questions related to COVID–19 and
telehealth adds minimal burden in
hours and costs to the core CAPI
interview, estimated to add 1 minute
per interview and a total of 222 burden
hours. The SAQ will be completed
during Round 1, Panel 26, Round 3,
Panel 25, and Round 5, Panel 24 by each
person in the RU that is an eligible
adult, an estimated 27,059 persons, and
takes about 7 minutes to complete. The
total annualized burden for this SAQ is
estimated to be 3,157 hours.
Exhibit 2 shows the estimated
annualized cost burden associated with
respondents’ time to participate in this
research. The total cost burden is
estimated to be $82,244 annually
($5,403 for COVID–19 related research
including telemedicine questions and
the $76,841 for the SAQ.
