SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
OMB for each collection of information
that they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) to include agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. The OCC
asks the OMB to approve the collection
in this notice.
Title: Information Collection for
Qualitative Research on Consumer Trust
in Banking and Bank Supervision.
OMB Control No.: 1557–NEW.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Individual
consumers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
600 screener survey respondents; 150
focus group participants (100 minimum
completes).

lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 191 / Wednesday, October 2, 2024 / Notices
Estimated Average Time per
Response: Screener survey: 1 response
per respondent; Focus groups: 1 60minute session per participant.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 180
hours (30 hours for screener survey and
150 hours for focus groups).
Description: The OCC seeks to obtain
OMB approval for a new information
collection titled ‘‘Qualitative Research
on Consumer Trust in Banking and
Bank Supervision.’’ The collection of
information through consumer focus
groups is necessary to gain in-depth,
qualitative insights into the factors
influencing public trust and confidence
in the banking system. Events such as
the 2008 financial crisis and the 2023
failure of Silicon Valley Bank have
highlighted the importance of
understanding consumer perspectives
on banking and the role of Federal
regulatory oversight.
The focus groups will explore how
consumers differentiate between types
of financial institutions, their usage of
various banking products and services,
their perceptions of what drives trust or
distrust in banking, and their awareness
of regulators’ efforts to safeguard the
system. These insights will directly
inform the development of a large-scale
survey instrument aimed at tracking and
measuring consumer trust over time.
Qualitative research plays a critical
role in surfacing the language
consumers use to talk about complex
topics like trust as well as identifying
key issues and themes that should be
prioritized in the quantitative survey
phase. Speaking directly with
consumers allows their voices and
experiences to shape the research from
the ground up. The focus groups are
thus a necessary foundational step to
ensure the resulting survey asks the
right questions in ways that resonate
with the public.
This information collection effort is
necessary to enable the OCC to gather
complementary quantitative data on
levels of consumer trust in banking and
bank supervision that will inform how
the OCC approaches its mission to
safeguard the financial stability of the
banking system and promote consumer
protection and economic inclusion.
Comments: On January 08, 2024, the
OCC published a 60-day notice for this
information collection, 89 FR 984. No
comments were received.
Comments continue to be invited on:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the

OCC, including whether the information
has practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the OCC’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection on respondents, including
through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology; and
(e) Estimates of capital or start-up
costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Under the PRA of 1995, Federal
agencies must obtain approval from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of
information they conduct or sponsor.
This request for comment is being made
pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
PRA.
With respect to the following
collection of information, VBA invites
comments on: (1) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of VBA’s
functions, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(2) the accuracy of VBA’s estimate of the

Information Collection).
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: With the use of VA Forms
22–6553d–1; 22–6553d, benefits are
authorized monthly based on the
number of hours worked by the trainee
in a training capacity as verified by the
training establishment. Unscheduled
terminations result in the termination of
benefits. If hours are reduced to less
than a full-time work schedule, a
reduction of benefits will occur. Public
Law 115–89 ‘‘Veterans Apprenticeship
and Labor Opportunity Reform Act’’
(VALOR Act) was signed into law on
November 21, 2017. Section 3 of this
law amended 38 U.S.C. 3680(c) to
eliminate the trainee’s certification
requirement. As a result, this form is
only completed, signed, and certified by
the training establishment to report the
trainee’s number of hours worked and/
or to report the trainee’s date of
termination. The form no longer
requires the signature of the trainee. The
form is then sent to the Regional
Processing Office (RPO) for processing.
