Title of Collection: Student Loan Survey.

Abstract: Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act, the CFPB is charged with researching, analyzing, and
reporting on topics relating to the Bureau's mission, including
consumer behavior, consumer awareness, and developments in
[[Page 56608]]
markets for consumer financial products and services. To improve its
understanding of how consumers engage with financial markets, the CFPB
has successfully used credit record data as a sampling frame to survey
people about their experiences in consumer credit markets.
The CFPB now seeks to obtain approval for a new one-time survey of
student loan borrowers to understand their borrowing decisions, their
experience managing their loans, and their expectations for the future.
The survey will be sent to a random sample selected from individuals in
the CFPB's new Consumer Credit Information Panel (CCIP) which is itself
a sample of de-identified credit records from one of the nationwide
consumer reporting agencies. The survey responses will be matched to
the CFPB's CCIP data to provide a more complete picture of borrowers'
financial standing. The survey will follow similar methods to the
CFPB's prior Making Ends Meet and Survey of Consumer Views on Debt
surveys but sample a different population of borrowers and focus
primarily on student loans.
The CFPB will not receive personally identifiable information. Any
such information will be removed by the contractor prior to delivering
final products. We will collect demographics, measures of financial
well-being, consumers' feelings about their financial well-being, and
experience with the student loan system, as well as behavioral measures
related to seeking out financial information or willingness to take
financial-related actions.
Request for Comments: Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the CFPB, including whether the information will have
practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the CFPB'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.
