SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Joint Standards and CFPB Standards for
Assessing the Diversity Policies and Practices.
OMB Control Number: 3170-0060.
Type of review: Revision of a currently approved information
collection.
Affected Public: Private sector: businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,250.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 9,375.
Abstract: Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) required the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (Board), Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
(FDIC), National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (CFPB), and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
(together, Agencies and separately, Agency) each to establish an Office
of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) to be responsible for all
matters of the Agency relating to diversity in management, employment,
and business activities. The Dodd-Frank Act also instructed each OMWI
Director to develop standards for assessing the diversity policies and
practices of entities regulated by the Agency. The Agencies worked
together to develop joint standards (Joint Standards). On June 10,
2015, they jointly published in the Federal Register the ``Final
Interagency Policy Statement Establishing Joint Standards for Assessing
the Diversity Policies and Practices of Entities Regulated by the
Agencies.'' The Agencies will use the information provided to them to
monitor progress and trends in the financial services industry
regarding diversity and inclusion in employment and contracting
activities as well as to identify and highlight those policies and
practices that have been successful. The primary Federal financial
regulator will share information with other Agencies (when appropriate)
to support coordination of efforts and to avoid duplication. The
Agencies may publish information disclosed to them (such as best
practices) in any form that does not identify a particular entity or
individual or disclose confidential business information. Additionally,
the CFPB is required to ensure that contractors that do business with
the CFPB are making a good faith effort to diversify their workforces.
The CFPB requires contractors to submit information related to their
workforce and workplace policies.
Request for Comments: The Bureau published a 60-day Federal
Register notice on June 2, 2022 (87 FR 33473) under Docket Number:
CFPB-2022-0034. The Bureau is soliciting comments 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 submitted to OMB as part of its review of this request.
All comments will become a matter of public record.
Anthony May,
Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
