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. 

Request for Comment 

Comments are invited on: (a) Whether 

the collections of information are 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the FDIC’s functions, including whether 

the information has practical utility; (b) 

the accuracy of the estimates of the 

burden of the information collections, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) ways to minimize the 

burden of the collections of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. All comments will become 

a matter of public record.

OMB Number: 3064–0015. 

Type: Extension, without change, of a 

currently approved collection. 

Form: Interagency Bank Merger Act 

Application. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households; business or other for profit; 

Insured state nonmember banks and 

state savings associations.

Total ................................................................................. 296 ................................................ ........................ 7,272 

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 

due solely to economic fluctuations that 

have resulted in an increase in the 

number of applications received 

annually.
