Proposed Collection; Comment Request

The Department of the Treasury, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing information collections, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A). Currently, the Financial Management Service (FMS) within the Department of the Treasury is soliciting comments concerning an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Survey of Federal Benefit Recipients. The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) of St. Louis, on behalf of FMS/Treasury, is conducting this EFT Survey in support of FMS' on-going initiatives to increase the use of EFT for Federal payments. The FRB of St. Louis and its contractor, Wirthlin Worldwide, will conduct this study of Social Security Title II and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit payment recipients to identify barriers to significant increases in EFT for benefit payments.
