Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 29 / Thursday, February 12, 2015 / Notices 7867 

Reporters: State Member Banks 

(SMBs) and nonbank subsidiaries of 

Bank Holding Companies (BHCs). 

Estimated annual reporting hours: 

SMBs, 31,820 hours; nonbank 

subsidiaries of BHCs, 11,813 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

SMBs, 0.25; nonbank subsidiaries of 

BHCs, 0.25. 

Number of respondents: SMBs, 860; 

nonbank subsidiaries of BHCs, 613. 

General description of report: The 

recordkeeping requirements of this 

information collection are mandatory 

(12 U.S.C. 3339). Since the Federal 

Reserve does not collect this 

information, confidentiality is not 

generally an issue. However, if the 

Federal Reserve were to collect a copy 

of the appraisal report during an 

examination, the documents could be 

exempt from disclosure under FOIA (5 

U.S.C. 552(b)(4) and (b)(8)). 

Abstract: For federally related 

transactions, Title XI of the Financial 

Institutions Reform, Recovery, and 

Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) 

requires SMBs and BHCs with creditextending nonbank subsidiaries to use 

appraisals prepared in accordance with 

the Uniform Standards of Professional 

Appraisal Practice promulgated by the 

Appraisal Standards Board of the 

Appraisal Foundation. Generally, these 

standards include the methods and 

techniques used to analyze a property as 

well as the requirements for reporting 

such analysis and a value conclusion in 

the appraisal. SMBs and BHCs with 

credit-extending nonbank subsidiaries 

are expected to maintain records that 

demonstrate that appraisals used in 

their real estate-related lending 

activities comply with these regulatory 

requirements. There is no formal 

reporting form. 

Proposal To Approve Under OMB 

Delegated Authority the 

Implementation of the Following 

Information Collection 

Report title: Federal Reserve Board 

Public Web site Usability Survey. 

Agency form number: FR 3076. 

OMB control number: 7100—to be 

assigned. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Reporters: Consumers, media, 

economists, financial institutions, 

nonprofits, community development 

organizations, consumer groups, state or 

local agencies, and researchers from 

academic, government, policy and other 

institutions. 

Estimated annual reporting hours: 

Surveys, 300 hours; and Focus Groups, 

120 hours. 

Estimated average hours per response: 

Surveys, .25 hours; and Focus Groups, 

1.50 hours. 

Number of respondents: Surveys, 100; 

and Focus Groups, 20. 

General description of report: This 

information collection is generally 

authorized under section 2B of the 

Federal Reserve Act, as amended, that 

requires the Board to provide certain 

reports, audits, and other information 

that ‘‘the Board reasonably believes is 

necessary or helpful to the public in 

understating the accounting, financial 

reporting, and internal controls of the 

Board and the Federal reserve banks.’’ 

12 U.S.C. 225b(c). In addition, the Board 

uses its Web site to provide the public 

information about a variety of other 

matters, including information about the 

Board, its actions, and the economy. 

The responses to this survey will help 

the Board to determine how effective its 

communications are as the Board strives 

to fulfill its statutory mission to 

‘‘maintain long run growth of the 

monetary and credit aggregates 

commensurate with the economy’s long 

run potential to increase production, so 

as to promote effectively the goals of 

maximum employment, stable prices, 

and moderate long-term interest rates.’’ 

12 U.S.C. 225a. Participation in the FR 

3076 would be voluntary and the 

information collected on these surveys 

is not considered confidential. Thus, no 

issue of confidentiality arises. 

Abstract: The Board would use the FR 

3076 survey to obtain feedback from the 

public users of the Federal Reserve 

Board’s public Web site, social media, 

outreach, and communication 

responsibilities. This collection would 

seek input from users or potential users 

to understand their interests and needs; 

to help make informed decisions 

concerning content, design, and 

dissemination strategies; to gauge public 

awareness of its offerings and resources; 

and to assess the effectiveness of its 

communications with various 

audiences. 

The FR 3076 would be used to gather 

qualitative and quantitative information 

directly from users or potential users of 

the Board’s Web site such as the public, 

the Congress, other government 

agencies, economic educators, 

economists, financial institutions, 

financial literacy groups, and 

community development groups and 

more. 

Web pages may include press 

releases, data releases and download, 

reports, supervision manuals, 

brochures, new Web pages, audio, 

video, and use of social media. 

Information gathered may also include 

general input on users’ interests and 

needs, feedback on Web site navigation 

and layout, distribution channels, or 

other factors which may affect the 

ability of users to locate and access 

content online. 

Qualitative surveys include data 

gathering methods such as focus groups 

and individual interviews. Quantitative 

surveys include surveys conducted 

online or via mobile device, by phone 

or by mail, emails, or a combination of 

these methods. The Board may choose 

to contract with an outside vendor to 

conduct focus groups, interviews, or 

surveys; or the Board may choose to 

collect the data directly. 

As FederalReserve.gov continues to 

evolve, the Board may seek input from 

users or potential users of Board’s 

public Web site on questions such as: 

• Did you find the content and layout 

relevant and of value? 

• How did you find the content you 

were looking for? 

• Was the navigation useful? 

• How did you learn about the 

content? 

• How did you access the content? 

(e.g.: paper copy distributed at an event, 

online, or mobile device). If online or 

through a mobile device, was the 

document printed, viewed on a tablet, 

or on a computer screen? 

• What suggestions do you have for 

improving the format and appearance of 

online presentation? (e.g.: readability— 

font size, charts, and graphs; 

organization of information; and 

navigating—indexing, search tools, and 

links). 

• What other information would be of 

value to enhance the online tool or 

information? 

Participation in the FR 3076 would be 

voluntary.

Purpose and Procedures 

The purpose of the public meeting is 

to collect information relating to the 

convenience and needs of the 

communities to be served. Convenience 

and needs considerations include a 

review of the records of performance of 

the insured depository institutions 

involved in the proposal under the 

Community Reinvestment Act, which 

requires the appropriate federal 

financial supervisory agency to take into 

account a relevant depository 

institution’s record of meeting the credit 

needs of its entire community, 

including low- and moderate-income 

neighborhoods, consistent with the safe 

and sound operation of the institution. 

12 U.S.C. 2903. The agencies also 

consider other factors in acting on the 

applications, including the effects of the 

proposal on the stability of the U.S. 

banking or financial system, the 

financial and managerial resources and 

future prospects of the companies and 

banks involved in the proposal, and 

competition in the relevant markets. 

The agencies also will be collecting 

information relating to these factors. 

Testimony at the public meeting will 

be presented to a panel consisting of 

Presiding Officers and other panel 

members appointed by the Presiding 

Officers. The Presiding Officers will 

have the authority and discretion to 

ensure that the meeting proceeds in a 

fair and orderly manner. The rules for

procedures for obtaining a copy of the

the time for presentation. Persons not

to speak at the public meeting, if time 

permits, at the conclusion of the
