This information collection is approved for a period of two years and is conditioned on the following terms to be addressed prior to the next renewal.
LENDING INSTITUTION USAGE AND LENDING INSTITUTION RELATIONSHIPS (QUESTIONS 70-71). For the next year, FDIC will consider any material distinctions between the ways in which respondents use/don't use traditional banks and lending institutions (the current purpose of Questions 70-71) and what it means for the targeted population to have a relationship with these institutions. In considering these distinctions, FDIC will consider whether additional questions related to relationships will serve the collection's overarching purpose (statutory and specific to the information collection) in attempting to understand banking behavior and banking needs among banked, unbanked, and underbanked households. FDIC will conduct cognitive testing on any new questions prior to OMB review. FDIC will provide OMB with an update on this process one year from the approval date for this collection.
DEFINITION OF ALTERNATIVE FINANCING SERVICES (AFS) (QUESTION 127 AND ANY QUESTIONS RELATED TO ALTERNATIVE FINANCIAL SERVICES). As soon as possible, FDIC must update the definition of "Alternative Financing Services" to reflect all material characteristics of services within this category. Specifically, if the collection of information for this category intends to capture usage of only high risk (and thus high interest rate or fee) services, the definition should reflect this criteria and should provide an explanation of how it serves both the underlying statutory mandate and the overall goals of this information collection. FDIC is currently applying the high risk criteria in collecting AFS information. This definition update must be published prior to the renewal of the collection since FDIC is currently applying this criteria.
SCOPE OF AFS. For next year, FDIC will consider whether peer to peer lending, including lending circles, should be added to the definition of AFS and whether new questions should be added to collect information on the use of such services. FDIC will conduct cognitive testing on any new questions prior to OMB review. FDIC will provide OMB with an update on this process one year from the approval date for this collection.
