Abstract: The Board would use the FR 3076 to seek input from users or potential users of the Board's public website, social media, outreach, and communication responsibilities. The survey would be conducted with a diverse audience of consumers, banks, media, government, educators, and others to gather information about their visit to the Board's public website. Responses to the survey would be used to help improve the usability and offerings on the Board's public website and other online public communications. The frequency of the survey and content of the questions would vary as needs arise for feedback on different resources and from different audiences. The Board anticipates the FR 3076 may be conducted up to 12 times per year, although the survey may not be conducted that frequently. In addition, the Board anticipates conducting up to four focus group sessions per year.
