SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Market Research Study.
OMB Number: 1530-0022.
Form Number: None.
Abstract: This is a generic clearance to conduct customer
satisfaction surveys, focus groups, and interviews among recipients of
federal benefit and vendor payments through EFT. The need for this
market research continues to arise from a Congressional directive that
accompanied legislation enacted in 1996, as part of the Debt Collection
Improvement Act (Pub. L. 104-134), expanding the scope of check
recipients required to use direct deposit to receive Federal benefit
payments (see 31 U.S.C. 3332). Congress directed Treasury to ``study
the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of those who
currently do not have Direct Deposit and determine how best to increase
usage among all groups.'' 142 Cong. Rec. H4090 (daily ed. April 25,
1996).
Current Actions: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Individuals or households, Federal Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 19,500.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 16 minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 5,200.
Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice
will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. All
comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited
on: 1. Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information shall have practical utility; 2. the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; 3.
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; 4. ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and 5.
estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
