SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title of Collection: Auto Loan Survey.
    OMB Control Number: 3170-00XX.
    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,060.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 1,670.
    Abstract: Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 
Protection Act, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is 
charged with researching, analyzing, and reporting on topics relating 
to the CFPB'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 CFPB has successfully used credit record data as 
a sampling frame to survey people about their experiences in consumer 
credit markets.
    The CFPB seeks approval for a new survey of auto loan borrowers. 
The survey will use the CFPB's Consumer Credit Information Panel (CCIP) 
as the sampling frame. This survey will solicit information on the 
consumer's experience related to auto purchases and loans including 
choosing a vehicle and financing, experiences with major vehicle 
expenses, experiences with loan servicing, and, if applicable, loan 
modification and repossession. This survey will augment the auto 
finance data pilot and linked CCIP data by providing information not 
available in either source such as consumer demographics, household 
income and assets, income or expense shocks, understanding of the auto 
financing market, expectations, and self-reported experiences with 
auto-loan origination and servicing. The survey will follow similar 
methods as in the CFPB's prior Making Ends Meet Survey (approved under 
OMB Control Number 3170-0066) and Student Loan Survey (approved under 
OMB Control Number 3170-0078) but sample a different population of 
borrowers and focus primarily on auto loans. The CFPB expects to 
recruit about 23,000 participants to participate in the survey.
    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.
