| U.S. Government Revenue Collections | channel_type_desc | Channel Type Description | Channel Program is the collections program reporting the data to Collections Information Repository (CIR). In most cases, the collection program name is synonymous with the concatenation of the Reporting Program and the Source Processing Program within CIR. However, Fiscal Service has provided derivation rules to enable specific breakdowns. The report lists the Channel Programs alphabetically within each collections channel. The four types are: 1. Over-the-Counter (OTC) - The OTC channel exists for collection information presented by the public or an agency to an agent or depositary in person or via an electronic terminal. 2. Mail - The mail channel exists for collection information presented by the public to an agent or depositary by mail. 3. Internet - The internet channel exists for collection information presented by the public or an agency to an agent or depositary over the Internet. It includes online banking transactions initiated by the public through private third party applications and received by an agent or depositary through a defined interface. 4. Bank - The bank channel exists for collection transactions presented by a member of the public to an agent or depositary through closed banking networks. It includes Automated Clearing House credit and Fedwire collection transactions. | STRING | 1 |
