SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title of Collection: Generic Information Collection Plan for 
Surveys Using the Consumer Credit Panel.
    OMB Control Number: 3170-0066.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 18,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 9,000.
    Abstract: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection 
Act charges the Bureau with researching, analyzing, and reporting on 
topics relating to the Bureau's mission including consumer behavior, 
consumer awareness, and developments in markets for consumer financial 
products and services. To improve its understanding of how consumers 
engage with financial markets, the Bureau has used the Consumer Credit 
Panel (CCP), a proprietary sample dataset from one of the national 
credit reporting agencies, as a frame to survey people about their 
experiences in consumer credit markets. The Bureau seeks to obtain 
approval for a generic information collection plan for these types of 
surveys. Surveys conducted under this generic information collection 
plan will support the Bureau's mission to conduct research in areas 
related to consumer finance including research to monitor developments 
in consumers' financial situations, related changes in their use of 
financial products, and the impacts that these decisions have on their 
balance sheets. All research under this plan will be for general, 
formative, and informational research on consumer financial markets and 
consumers' use of financial products and will not directly provide the 
basis for specific policymaking at the Bureau.
    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.
