Form FR 2572 collects data on credit card pricing and availability from a sample of at least 150 financial institutions that offer credit cards. The data enable the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) to present information to the public on terms of credit card plans. The Bureau has introduced an online channel for submission that has driven down burden costs for participating institutions.

As discussed in section 12 of the Supporting Statement, in order for the Bureau to obtain the statutorily mandated 150 responses, it sends out at least 175 surveys. Therefore, the Bureau requests enough annual burden to send the survey to 175 respondents semi-annually. The Bureau estimates that the introduction of Collect will lower the total industry burden by 11 hours per year. There is a net burden reduction of approximately 12 hours; however, 2 hours are added due to adding a nominal one-time burden for registering for the Collect system. The Bureau expects that those respondents who use the Collect system will save about 5 minutes per response (e.g., 15 minutes per response for the paper form verses about 10 minutes per response when using the Collect system).
