The Pilot Intake Form was designed to aid consumers in the submission of a complaint, question, or comment relating to credit cards. The pilot implementation will inform future improvements to the permanent version of the Consumer Response Intake Form and technical assistance.
The Department of the Treasury (ÂTreasuryÂ), on behalf of itself and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (ÂCFPBÂ), respectfully requests emergency processing and approval of the collection of information discussed below because normal clearance procedures are reasonably likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information. Emergency clearance of an information collection request is needed for piloting the Credit Card Specific Consumer Response Intake Form (ÂPilot Intake FormÂ), a web-based, consumer intake data collection form, which will inform the development and implementation of the permanent consumer contact intake form (ÂConsumer Response Intake FormÂ). The pilot is scheduled to begin on June 21, 2011.
The CFPB initiated a timely review of a comprehensive intake form for the permanent data collection system under normal clearance procedures pursuant to 5 C.F.R. 1320, with an initial 60-day comment period beginning on March 9, 2011. See 76 Fed. Reg. 13018 (March 9, 2011). However, with the formal comment period for the permanent system collection request likely expiring in early July 2011, the CFPB will not have the benefit of the Office of Management and Budget approval by the anticipated pilot launch date. As with any exploratory program, an adequate timeframe must be provided to test the Pilot Intake Form and related processes and obtain the results which may inform the development of the permanent system. The CFPBÂs designated transfer date is July 21, 2011, at which time certain consumer financial protection functions of seven federal agencies will transfer to the CFPB. An inadequate timeframe for testing the Pilot Intake Form may preclude the meaningful assessment needed to ensure the timely implementation of the consumer response intake infrastructure contemplated by Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Pub. L. 111-2013, 124 Stat. 1376 (ÂDodd-FrankÂ). See Dodd-Frank §§1013(b)(3)(A), 1021(c)(2), and 1034.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
