respectively).3
Through the Government Portal,
government users can view consumer
complaint information in a user-friendly
format that allows easy review of
complaints currently active in the
Bureau process, complaints referred to a
prudential Federal regulator, and other
closed/archived complaints.
Through the Congressional Portal,
members of Congress and authorized
congressional office staff can view data
associated with consumer complaints
they submit on behalf of their
constituents with the consumer’s
express written authorization for the
release of their personal information.
The Congressional Portal only displays
information about complaints submitted
by the individual congressional office.
This is a routine request for OMB to
extend its approval of the information
collection currently approved under this
OMB control number. For this renewal,
the Bureau has updated the Privacy Act
Statement to the form and is not
proposing any other revised updates to
the collection.
Request for Comments: Comments are
invited on: (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Bureau, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the Bureau’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methods and the assumptions used;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) Ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques

Title of Collection: Consumer
Complaint Intake System Company
Portal Boarding Form.
OMB Control Number: 3170–0054.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Affected Public: Private sector.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
400.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 85.
Abstract: Section 1013(b)(3)(A) of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act, Public Law
111–203, requires the Bureau to
‘‘facilitate the centralized collection of,
monitoring of, and response to
consumer complaints regarding
consumer financial products or
services.’’ 1 In furtherance of its
statutory mandates related to consumer
complaints, the Bureau utilizes a
Consumer Complaint Intake System
Company Portal Boarding Form
(Boarding Form) to sign up companies
for access to the secure, web-based
Company Portal (Company Portal). The
Company Portal allows companies to
view and respond to complaints
submitted to the Bureau, supports the
efficient routing of consumer
complaints to companies, and enables a
timely and secure response by
companies to the Bureau and
consumers.2
This is a routine request for OMB to
extend its approval of the information
collection currently approved under
OMB Control Number 3170–0054. For
this extension, the Bureau is proposing
to decrease the annual number of
unboarded companies who will
complete this form for the first time
from 550 to 400. The Bureau is also
updating the Privacy Act Statement on
the form.
Request for Comments: Comments are
invited on: (a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Bureau, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the Bureau’s
estimate of the burden of the collection

the Bureau utilizes separate OMB-approved forms
to board government agencies and congressional
offices onto their own distinct portals to access
certain complaint information through OMB

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC is
hosting a technical forum to collect
information on the TE, certification, and
product specification efforts associated
with products employing AI/ML-related
technologies.1 The information
collected from the forum will assist staff
in making recommendations for
improving TE capabilities associated
with the safety of consumer products.
I. Background
With the growing use of AI/MLrelated technologies to increase
capabilities and mitigate potential
harms, assessing the functionality and
reliability of these technologies is
important to ensure they do not present
unreasonable risks of injury associated
with consumer products. Methods for
testing and evaluating AI/ML-related
technologies are important in
determining whether these capabilities
contribute to creating an unreasonable
risk of injury to consumers.
As AI/ML-related technologies
dramatically change the nature of
consumer products, their abilities to act
and react automatically, and, in some
cases, to learn and evolve, have brought
to the forefront significant concerns for
potential impacts to product safety. The
inherent learning abilities of some ML
presents unique product testing
challenges. CPSC seeks to understand
existing and future testing capabilities
for evaluating AI/ML-related
components, such as sensors, data,
software, networks, and related
hardware, as well as their integration for
AI/ML-enabled products. CPSC seeks
information on foreseeable interactions
between these components and features
with users and the environment in
addition to information on testing how
these features and components
contribute to machine learning-based
evolution of products.
II. Forum Topics
Manufacturers and test laboratories
may already employ in-product
development testing and evaluation
capabilities to ensure safety is built into
products with AI/ML-related
technologies. There may also be test
capabilities used to evaluate changes to
products after purchase, to monitor and
measure the potential impact on
consumers, given the evolution of AI/
ML-related technologies within
products. These evaluations may or may
not use existing standards, which are
evolving, but they are needed to

determine whether AI/ML-related
technologies are to contribute to
consumer product hazards throughout
their lifecycle and to inform standard
development. This forum will focus on
existing testing and evaluation
capabilities and the need to establish an
adequate methodology to determine if
AI/ML-related technologies contribute
to an unreasonable risk that could injure
consumers. It will explore existing and
future testing and evaluation
capabilities related to the following four
topics:
• Components: Identify and test
components of AI in isolation, including
sensors/data, algorithms, connectivity
(including communications and
actuation), and computational
capabilities.
• Products: Evaluate AI-enabled
consumer products as a system, by
monitoring, measuring, and modeling
their characteristics.
• Assessment: Leverage current riskassessment methodologies to identify
the potential for AI and ML to
contribute to an unreasonable risk of
harm in consumer products.
• SYNOPSIS and Q&A: Round-table
discussion with subject matter experts
interacting with the participants
regarding the previously presented
panels.
III. Forum Details
A. Forum Time and Place
CPSC staff will hold the forum via
webinar from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., EST on
Thursday, March 31, 2022.
