The Board uses this collection to
inform consumer-focused research, implement statutory requirements,
and facilitate community development. The surveys in this
collection inform the Board’s work by identifying emerging risks
and providing additional data on the issues that affect the
well-being of consumers and communities and how the financial
services marketplace functions. The surveys in this collection
gather quantitative and qualitative information directly from
individual consumers or households (consumer surveys) on consumer
finance topics. This collection also gathers quantitative and
qualitative information on current and emerging community economic
issues from stakeholders (stakeholder surveys). Examples of
stakeholders include community groups, community development
organizations, nonprofit 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 are 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
conducts the FR 3073 as needed, up to 30 times per year. While the
Board estimates the FR 3073 may be conducted up to 30 times per
year, history suggests a lower frequency is more likely.
