SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Making Ends Meet
Survey.
OMB Control Number: 3170–0080.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
4,500.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 1,375.
Abstract: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act
charges the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau with researching,
analyzing, and reporting on topics
relating to the CFPB’s mission including
consumer behavior, consumer
awareness, and developments in
markets for consumer financial products
and services. To improve its
understanding of how consumers
engage with financial markets, the CFPB
has successfully used surveys under its
‘‘Making Ends Meet’’ program. The
‘‘Making Ends Meet’’ program has also
used the CFPB’s Consumer Credit
Information Panel (CCIP) as a frame to
survey people about their experiences in
consumer credit markets. The CFPB
seeks approval for two yearly surveys
under the ‘‘Making Ends Meet’’
program. These surveys solicit
information on the consumer’s
experience related to household
financial shocks, particularly shocks
related to the economic effects of the
COVID–19 pandemic, how households
respond to those shocks, and the role of
savings to help provide a financial
buffer.
The first survey will be a follow-up to
respondents from the CFPB’s 2023

‘‘Making Ends Meet’’ survey to better
understand household financial
experiences dealing with medical debt
as well as consumers’ interactions with
various financial products. The second
survey will go to a new sample of
consumers from the CCIP and will
address several topics of interest to the
CFPB possibly including the impact of
natural disasters and other
environmental events, credit shopping
behavior, additional follow-up regarding
debt collection, and the assessment of
various fees throughout the financial
services ecosystem.
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
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. Comments submitted in
response to this notice will be
summarized and/or included in the
request for OMB’s approval. All
comments will become a matter of
public record.
