The surveys in this collection are used to gather qualitative and quantitative information directly from users or potential users of Board publications, resources, and conference materials, such as consumers (consumer surveys) and stakeholders (stakeholder surveys). Stakeholders may include, but are not limited to, nonprofits, community development organizations, consumer groups, conference attendees, financial institutions and other financial companies offering consumer financial products and services, other for profit companies, state or local agencies, and researchers from academic, government, policy, and other institutions. The frequency of the survey and content of the questions will vary as needs arise for feedback on different resources and from different audiences. Legal authorization and confidentiality: The FR 1378 is authorized by sections 2A and 12A of the Federal Reserve Act (FRA).

In addition, the Board is responsible for implementing and drafting regulations and interpretations for various consumer protection laws. The information obtained from the FR 1378 may be used in support of the Board’s development and implementation of regulatory provisions for these laws. Therefore, depending on the survey questions asked, the FR 1378 may be authorized pursuant to the Board’s authority under one or more of those consumer protection statutes. The information collected under FR 1378 is not confidential. Current actions: On May 11, 2020, the Board published a notice in the Federal Register (85 FR 27740) requesting public comment for 60 days on the extension, without revision, of the FR 1378.

Agency form number: FR 3077. OMB control number: 7100–0374. Effective Date: The revisions are effective immediately. Frequency: Annually; On occasion. Respondents: The Board expects that the respondents would include a nationally representative sample of noninstitutionalized individuals 1 who are 18 years of age and older. Due to the nature of the third-party vendor’s respondent pool, this sample naturally includes repeat respondents, which allows for evaluating changes in respondents’ economic conditions, as well as time series analysis. In 2019, the Board changed how respondents were selected to participate in the SHED questionnaire to more closely reflect a nationally representative sample. Thus, effective with the 2019 questionnaire, the respondent panel no longer contained a 1 Non-institutionalized individuals refers to individuals who are not inmates of institutions, such as those who are incarcerated or live in a retirement home, hospital, or other medical institution, as well as active duty military. PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 58057 low- and moderate-income oversample. Instead, the same number of respondents were interviewed but those respondents were drawn as a random sample of adults, rather than by attempting to sample a disproportionate share of low- and moderate-income adults. This change was made to obtain a respondent sample that more closely reflects the overall adult population and to reflect that these deviations from a nationally representative sample were no longer necessary for analyses of these populations given the current size of the SHED respondent pool. Effective with the 2018 SHED questionnaire, the respondent panel also no longer included an explicit sample of repeat respondents. Because approximately one-fifth of the vendor’s total online respondent pool for the questionnaire is already comprised of repeat respondents, a substantial fraction of questionnaire respondents are repeat respondents without the need to have an explicit repeat sample. The Board plans to continue to sample a nationally representative pool of respondents without an oversample of low- and moderate-income individuals and without an explicit repeat sample group. Estimated number of respondents: Quantitative survey, 21,500 respondents; qualitative survey, 30 respondents. Estimated average hours per response: Quantitative survey, 0.35; qualitative survey, 2. Estimated annual burden hours: Quantitative survey, 7,525; qualitative survey, 180. General description of report: The FR 3077 questionnaire is used to collect insightful information from consumers concerning the well-being of U.S. households and how individuals and their families are faring in the economy. The collected information could be used for the Board’s Report on the Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households; Board studies or working papers; professional journals; the Federal Reserve Bulletin; testimony and reports to the Congress; or other vehicles. The SHED questionnaire includes such topics as individuals’ overall financial wellbeing, employment experiences, income and savings behaviors, economic preparedness, access to banking and credit, housing and living arrangement decisions, education and human capital, student loans, and retirement planning. The overall content of the SHED questionnaire depends on changing economic, regulatory, or legislative developments as well as changes in the financial services industry. E:\FR\FM\17SEN1.SGM 17SEN1
