SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Generic Information Collection Plan for
Qualitative Consumer Education, Engagement and Experience Information
Collections.
OMB Control Number: 3170-0036.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or households, State, local, or tribal
governments; private sector.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 48,000.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 36,000.
Abstract: Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (Pub. L. 111-203, section 1021(c)) one of the Bureau's
primary functions is to conduct financial education programs. The
Bureau seeks to obtain approval of a generic information collection
plan to collect qualitative data on effective financial education
strategies and consumer experiences in the financial marketplace from a
variety of respondents (including financial educators and consumers).
The Bureau will collect this information through a variety of methods
including in-person meetings, interviews, focus groups,
[[Page 45089]]
qualitative surveys, online discussion forums, social media polls, and
other qualitative methods as necessary. The information collected
through these processes will increase the Bureau's understanding of
consumers' financial experiences, financial education and empowerment
programs, and practices that can improve financial decision-making
skills and outcomes for consumers. This information will also enable
the Bureau to better communicate to consumers about the availability of
Bureau tools and resources that consumers can use to make better
informed financial decisions.
Request for Comments: Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Bureau, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the Bureau's estimate of
the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of
the methods and the 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 collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology. Comments submitted in response to this
notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB's
approval. All comments will become a matter of public record.
Anthony May,
Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
