Pub.L. 111 - 203 1022 Name of Law: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act
Since this is a reinstatement
of a previously discontinued collection all burden for this
collection is considered new burden. The previously approved burden
was 25,500 respondents and responses, and 27,024 hours, the changes
in burden between the previously approved level and this request
results from the Bureau revising its burden estimates to reflect
future plans to conduct studies under this generic information
collection plan. Furthermore the total annualized burden for this
plan is a three-year average, there may be variations in the amount
of burden used each year owing to the nature of the Bureau’s
regulatory review schedules.

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).
