The Office of Intergovernmental Affairs at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau requests approval of a generic clearance to collect information from state, local, and tribal governments. These governments interact closely with consumers and are critical partners in promoting transparency and competition in the consumer financial products marketplace, eliminating unfair and unlawfully discriminatory practices, and enforcing consumer financial laws. The information collected through the Office of Intergovernmental Affairs Outreach Activities will be shared, as appropriate, within the Bureau, such as with the Bureau's rulemaking, market monitoring, supervision, fair lending monitoring, outreach to traditionally underserved populations, financial education, and enforcement functions.
