Abstract: Under Section 1013(b)(3) of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Bureau facilitates the centralized collection of, monitoring of, and response to complaints and inquiries regarding consumer financial products or services. The tasks of developing new questions and improving upon existing complaint questions along with related feedback to improve the complaint processing system would benefit from the streamlined flexibility of the generic clearance process. This generic clearance will allow the Bureau to test and pilot new and improved questions and requests for information. Stakeholder feedback will be used by Consumer Response to inform program improvements and enhancements as well as establishing their priority.
