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 âGeneric Information Collection Plan for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Bureau Service Deliveryâ 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;
