The FR 3073 surveys in this collection
would be used to gather quantitative and qualitative information
directly from individual consumers or households (consumer surveys)
on consumer finance topics. This collection also would be used to
gather quantitative and qualitative information on current and
emerging community economic issues from stakeholders (stakeholder
surveys). Stakeholders may include, for example, such organizations
as community groups, community development organizations,
non-profit service providers, faith-based service organizations,
public sector agencies, small business owners, health care
organizations, food banks, K-12 public and private schools,
community colleges, community development financial institutions,
credit unions, banks, and other financial institutions and
companies offering financial products and services. While these
surveys would be ongoing, the frequency and content of the
questions may change depending on economic conditions, regulatory,
or legislative developments, as well as changes in technology,
business practices, and other factors affecting consumers,
stakeholders, and communities.

The Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve Board), under delegated
authority from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), proposes
to implement the voluntary Consumer and Stakeholder Surveys (FR
3073). The Federal Reserve would use this collection to inform
consumer-focused supervision, research, and policy analysis;
implement statutory requirements; and facilitate community
development. The surveys in this collection would inform the
Federal Reserve's work by identifying emerging risks and providing
additional data on the issues that affect the well-being of
consumers and communities and the function of the market for
financial services.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
