General Description of Collection: The
FDIC plans to collect information from
consumers and financial services
providers through qualitative research
methods such as focus groups, in-depth
interviews, and/or qualitative virtual
methods. The information collected will
be used to deepen the FDIC’s
understanding of the knowledge,
experiences, behaviors, capabilities, and
preferences of consumers of financial
services. These qualitative research
methods will also contribute to the
FDIC’s understanding of how
consumers, including those who are
financially underserved, use a range of
different types of bank and non-bank
financial services. Interviews of
financial services providers are
intended to provide greater insight into
the providers’ perceptions of the
opportunities and challenges of
providing an array of financial services
and products. These qualitative
methods will also provide an
opportunity to test and improve other
survey efforts conducted by the FDIC.
The FDIC does not intend to use
qualitative research to measure or
quantify results.
Participation in this information
collection will be voluntary and
conducted in-person, by phone, or using
other methods, such as virtual
technology. The FDIC plans to retain an
experienced contractor(s) to recommend
the most appropriate collection method
based on the objectives of each
qualitative research effort. The FDIC
will consult with OMB regarding each
specific information collection during
the approval period.

General Description of Collection: The
Interagency Bank Merger Act
Application form is used by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, the
Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System, and the Comptroller of
the Currency for applications under
section 18(c) of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act (FDIA), as amended (12
U.S.C. 1828(c)). The application is used
for a merger, consolidation, or other
combining transaction between
nonaffiliated parties as well as to effect
a corporate reorganization between
affiliated parties (affiliate transaction).
There is a different level of burden for
each of the two types of merger
transactions, nonaffiliated and affiliated.
An affiliate transaction refers to a
merger, consolidation, other
combination, or transfer of any deposit
liabilities, between depository
institutions that are controlled by the
same holding company. It includes a
business combination between a
depository institution and an affiliated
interim institution. Applicants
proposing affiliate transactions are
required to provide less information
than applicants involved in the merger
of two unaffiliated entities. If depository
institutions are not controlled by the
same holding company, the merger
transaction is considered nonaffiliated.
There is no change in the method or
substance of the collection. The
estimated time to complete the
application remains the same. The
change in estimated annual burden is
