SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Consumer

OMB Control Number: 3170–0057.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: State, local, and tribal

Abstract: Section 1013(b)(3)(A) of the

Act or Act) requires the CFPB to

information with prudential regulators,
the Federal Trade Commission, other

Federal agencies, and State agencies.’’ 2
To facilitate the collection of
complaints, the CFPB accepts consumer
complaints submitted by Members of
Congress on behalf of their constituents
with the consumer’s express written
authorization for the release of their
personal information. In furtherance of
its statutory mandates related to
consumer complaints, the CFPB uses
Government and Congressional Portal
Boarding Forms (i.e., Boarding Forms)
to register users for access to secure,
web-based portals. The CFPB has
developed separate portals for
congressional users and other
government users as part of its secure
web portal offerings (the ‘‘Government
Portal’’ and the ‘‘Congressional Portal,’’
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 CFPB
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.
Changes in this revision reflect the
requirements outlined in 12 CFR
1070.43(b)(2) that requires a citation to
the agency’s legal authority to review,
possess, and examine consumer
complaints. Therefore, new language
and fields have been added to 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
CFPB, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the CFPB’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
2 Dodd-Frank Act section 1013(b)(3)(D), codified
at 12 U.S.C. 5493(b)(3)(D).
3 In addition to the boarding forms for
congressional and government users, the CFPB
utilizes a separate OMB-approved form to board
companies onto their own distinct portal to access
complaints submitted against them, through OMB
Control Number 3170–0054 (Consumer Complaint
Intake System Company Portal Boarding Form
Information Collection System).
