Abstract: The Board uses the survey to seek input (1) from users or potential users of the Board’s public website and social media tools, (2) about the Board’s outreach, and (3) about other communication tools used by Board. The survey is offered to a diverse audience of consumers, banks, media, government, educators, and others. Responses to the survey are used to help improve the usability and offerings on the Board’s public website and other online public communications. The FR 3076 is composed of two parts: surveys and focus groups. The frequency of the survey and content of the questions varies as needs arise for feedback on different Board resources and from different audiences. The FR 3076 surveys may be conducted up to 12 times per year. In addition, the Board plans to conduct up to four focus group sessions per year.
