Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 207 / Friday, October 25, 2024 / Notices In the 2023 IPCS Order, FCC 23–19, 88 FR 19001 (March 30, 2023), the Commission, among other things, reaffirmed and updated the Commission’s prior delegation of authority to WCB and the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau (CGB) to revise the instructions and reporting template for the Annual Reports that all IPCS providers are required to file each year. Specifically, the Commission delegated authority to WCB and CGB to modify, supplement, and update the instructions and template as appropriate. On August 3, 2023, in DA 23–656, 88 FR 53850 (August 9, 2023) and 88 FR 54318 (August 10, 2023) (document DA 23–656), WCB and CGB sought comment on proposed revisions to the instructions and templates, including any paperwork burdens, for the annual reports and annual certifications to implement the Martha Wright-Reed Act and reflect the changes that were adopted in the 2022 ICS Order, FCC 22– 76, 87 FR 75496 (December 9, 2022). Commenters generally supported the Commission’s efforts to track trends in the IPCS marketplace as long as the reporting requirements were not unduly burdensome. However, one commenter argued that it was premature to require reports on video and the expanded TRS obligations, because the Commission had not adopted video IPCS regulations, and the expanded TRS regulations had not yet gone into effect. In the 2024 IPCS Order, FCC 24–75, the Commission modified the scope and content of the requirements for the annual reports and certifications to reflect the Martha Wright-Reed Act’s expansion of Commission authority over other communications services in carceral facilities to include video IPCS and certain other advanced communications services, as well as intrastate IPCS, and the providers that offer these services. On September 11, 2024, in DA 24– 918, 89 FR 80449 (October 3, 2024) (document DA 24–918), WCB and CGB invited supplemental comment to refresh and expand upon the record developed in response to document DA 24–918 to reflect the Commission’s expanded jurisdiction and the reforms adopted in the 2024 IPCS Order. WCB and CGB have not yet issued an order adopting changes to the instructions, templates, and certification form for the annual reports and certifications, as proposed in document DA 23–656 and document DA 24–918. Upon release of an order adopting any such changes, we will address any paperwork burdens arising from those VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:40 Oct 24, 2024 Jkt 265001 changes in a subsequent 60-day Notice under the PRA.

General Description of Collection: The FDIC is committed to expanding Americans’ access to safe, secure, and affordable banking services, which is integral to the FDIC’s mission of maintaining the stability of, and public confidence in, the U.S. financial system. The Household Survey is one avenue by which the FDIC responds to a congressional mandate contained in section 7 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Conforming Amendments Act of 2005 (Reform Act) (Pub. L. 109–173) 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 appear to most prevent ‘unbanked’ individuals from establishing conventional accounts;’’ and (2) ‘‘what is a fair estimate of the size and worth of the ‘‘unbanked’’ market in the United States.’’ E:\FR\FM\25OCN1.SGM 25OCN1 85212 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 207 / Friday, October 25, 2024 / Notices The Household Survey collects information on bank account ownership, which provides a factual basis for measuring the number and percentage of households that are unbanked. It is the only populationrepresentative survey conducted at the national level that provides state-level estimates of the size and characteristics of unbanked households for all 50 States and the District of Columbia. The Household Survey also collects information from unbanked households about the reasons that they do not have a bank account and their interest in having a bank account. Nonbank financial companies are playing an increasingly important role in the provision of financial products and services in the U.S., and households may use a variety of bank and nonbank financial products and services to meet their needs. Consequently, the Household Survey collects information on whether and how households use a wide range of bank and nonbank financial products and services. To obtain this information, the FDIC partners with the U.S. Census Bureau, which administers the Household Survey under an FDIC-sponsored supplement to its CPS. The Household Survey has been administered every other year since January 2009. The previous survey questionnaires and survey results can be accessed through the following link: https://fdic.gov/ analysis/household-survey. Consistent with the statutory mandate to conduct the surveys on an ongoing basis, the FDIC already has in place arrangements for conducting the ninth Household Survey as a supplement to the June 2025 CPS. Prior to finalizing the 2025 survey questionnaire, the FDIC seeks to solicit public comment on whether changes to the existing instrument are desirable and, if so, to what extent. It should be noted that, as a supplement of the CPS survey, the Household Survey needs to adhere to specific parameters that include limits in the length and sensitivity of the questions that can be asked of CPS respondents.
