The Office of Intergovernmental
Affairs (IGA) at the Bureau requests OMB’s approval for an
extension without change this generic information collection plan
(GICP) in order 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 outreach activities
performed by IGA will collect low-burden, non-generalizable
information through this GICP on trends in consumer financial
markets, enforcement actions, regulatory and supervisory issues,
and consumer needs at the State, local, and tribal levels. Most of
this information will be in the form of government representatives
providing impressions and overviews of their activities.
Information will be collected on an occasional and voluntary basis
from State, local, and tribal governments and from their respective
trade associations.
