Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request Re National
Survey of Unbanked and Underbanked
Households
Federal Deposit Insurance

ACTION: Notice of information collection
to be submitted to OMB for review and
approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.

The FDIC, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent burden and as required
by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. chapter 35), invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies to comment on the revised
survey collection instrument for its
third National Survey of Unbanked and
Underbanked Households (‘‘Household
Survey’’), currently approved under
OMB Control No. 3064–0167, scheduled
to be conducted in partnership with the
U.S. Census Bureau as a supplement to
its June 2013 Current Population Survey
(‘‘CPS’’). The collection is 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
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.’’ The Household Survey is
designed to address these factors and
provide a factual basis on the
proportions of unbanked households.
Such a factual basis is necessary to
adequately assess banks’ efforts to serve
these households as required by the
statutory mandate.
To satisfy the Congressional mandate,
the FDIC designed two complementary
surveys: a survey of FDIC-insured
depository institutions and a survey of
households. The survey of FDIC-insured
depository institutions, aimed at
collecting data on their efforts to serve
underbanked, as well as unbanked,
populations (underbanked populations
include individuals who have an
account with an insured depository but
also rely on non-bank alternative
financial service providers for
transaction services or high cost credit
products), was conducted in mid-2007
and again in 2011. The results of the
2007 survey were released in February
2008 and the results of the 2011 survey

were released in December 2012. The
first survey of unbanked and
underbanked households was
conducted in January 2009 as a CPS
supplement and the results were
released to the public in December
2009. The second survey of unbanked
and underbanked households was
conducted in June 2011 and the results
were released to the public in
September 2012. The Household Survey
seeks to estimate the proportions of
unbanked and underbanked households
in the U.S. and to identify the factors
that inhibit the participation of these
households in the mainstream banking
system. 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. This
notice addresses the next Household
Survey.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before April 18, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are
invited to submit written comments by
any of the following methods. All
comments should refer to ‘‘National
Survey of Unbanked and Underbanked
