This generic information collection
plan provides for the collection of qualitative feedback from
consumers, financial institutions, and stakeholders on a wide range
of services the Bureau provides in an efficient, timely manner, in
accordance with the Bureau's commitment to improving service
delivery. By qualitative feedback, the Bureau means information
that provides useful insights on, for example, comprehension,
usability, perceptions, and opinions, but are not statistical
surveys that yield quantitative results that can be generalized to
the population of study. The Bureau expects this feedback to
include insights into consumer, financial institution, or
stakeholder perceptions, experiences, and expectations, provide an
early warning of issues with service, or focus attention on areas
where communication, training or changes in operations might
improve delivery of products or services. These collections will
allow for ongoing, collaborative, and actionable communications
between the Bureau and consumers, financial institutions, and
stakeholders. It will also allow feedback to contribute directly to
the improvement of program management.
The Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau requests that OMB approves the “Generic
Information Collection Plan for the Collection of Qualitative
Feedback on Bureau Service Delivery” information collection (OMB
Control No. 3170-0024) for an increase to the maximum allowable
burden for use on generic information collection activities.
Currently, OMB Control No. 3170-0024 is approved to maximally
allow: • 80,000 responses (Total Number of Responses) • 9,000 hours
(Total Time Burden) We are requesting that these respective limits
are raised to: • 250,000 responses (Total Number of Responses) •
29,000 hours (Total Time Burden) This request is due to sharply
increasing Bureau activities that are and will be implicating OMB
Control Number 3170-0024 into the foreseeable future. The Bureau is
making no program changes nor changes to the nature of planned
activities submitted under OMB Control Number 3170-0024. This
request reflects only an increased amount of the sort of Bureau
activities for which OMB Control Number 3170-0024 was
intended.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
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).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
