# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The FDIC is requesting OMB approval for the following new collection of information:

                    1.                     *Title:*                     2025 FDIC Survey of Deposit Insurance Awareness.                

*OMB Number:*                     3064-NEW.                

*Affected Public:*                     Individual members of the public.                

*Burden Estimate:*

*Frequency of Response:*                     Once.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     6,500.                

*Average Time per Response:*                     4 minutes.                

*Estimated Total Annual Burden:*                     26,000 minutes (434 hours).                

*General Description of Collection:*                     The FDIC proposes to field a statistical consumer survey to assess awareness of the FDIC and of deposit insurance. Survey results will inform FDIC public awareness, communication, education, outreach and research efforts regarding deposit insurance, and will identify information and awareness gaps in terms of content and demographic segments. Research questions will cover consumers' knowledge of, attitudes towards, and behaviors regarding deposit insurance. The proposed 2025 FDIC Survey of Deposit Insurance Awareness is intended to collect information regarding what consumers know about deposit insurance and how they learn it, what consumers think about deposit insurance and banking, and how this information shapes financial decisions. The survey will inform research and programmatic efforts to improve consumers' awareness and understanding of deposit insurance, to help fulfill the agency's mission of maintaining stability and public confidence in the nation's financial system.                

The survey will assess consumers' awareness and knowledge of the FDIC and its role regarding deposit insurance, including their understanding of the types of institutions and situations where deposit insurance applies, and the sources they use to learn about deposit insurance. The survey will also assess whether deposit insurance impacts consumers' confidence in the banking system and perceptions and use of bank and nonbank financial services, including their likelihood to consider deposit insurance when making decisions about financial products and services. Finally, the survey will collect background information regarding consumers' use of some bank and nonbank products, and the types of institutions they use to save or store money inside and outside of the banking system.

                    The survey will be conducted in spring 2025 as part of Porter Novelli's PN Styles survey, using the IPSOS Knowledge Panel, a probability-based online panel in the US. PN Styles is a large-scale, representative survey of U.S. adults that tracks consumer attitudes and behaviors. Interested members of the public may obtain a copy of the proposed survey questionnaire on the following web page:                     *https://www.fdic.gov/​federal-register-publications/​fdic-deposit-insurance-awareness-survey.*
