State Agencies: The five directors
selected to represent State agencies

staffs of State agencies responsible for
overseeing the administration of the
UCR Agreement.
Motor Carrier Industry: Five directors

At least one of the five motor carrier
industry directors must be from ‘‘a

smallest fleet fee bracket.’’
U.S. Department of Transportation

the FMCSA Deputy Administrator or
such other Presidential appointee from
the Department appointed by the

The establishment of the Board was
announced in the Federal Register on
May 12, 2006 (71 FR 27777). In that
notice, the Agency recognized the
American Trucking Associations, Inc.
(ATA) as the national trade association

property industry. ATA is a national
affiliation of State trucking
organizations representing the national,
State and local interests of the 50
affiliated State trucking associations;
and the interests of specialized areas of
the trucking industry through
conferences and councils. The Agency
selected the Owner-Operator

trade association representing the
interests of small trucking companies
and drivers.

The Department of Treasury, on
behalf of itself and the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB),
will submit the following public
information collection requirement to
OMB for review and clearance under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
Public Law 104–13 on or after the date
of publication of this notice. A copy of
the submission may be obtained by
Keddie, Cal., on UP’s Canyon Subdivision, a
distance of 61.3 miles. BNSF states that the trackage
rights are only temporary rights, but, because they
are ‘‘local’’ rather than ‘‘overhead’’ rights, they do not
qualify for the Board’s class exemption for
temporary trackage rights at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(8).

Title: Qualitative Testing of Integrated
Mortgage Loan Disclosure Forms.
Description: The Dodd-Frank Wall
Street Reform and Consumer Protection
Act, Public Law 111–203, Title X,
requires CFPB to develop model forms
that will integrate separate disclosures
concerning residential mortgage loans
that are required under the Truth in
Lending Act and Real Estate Settlement
Procedures Act. The CFPB
implementation team will collect data,
including through interviews and the
internet, to inform its design and
development of the mandated integrated
disclosure and its implementation. The
information collected through the oneon-one cognitive interviews and the
internet will inform the disclosure
form’s design and content, using an
iterative process to improve the draft
form to make it easier for consumers to
use the document to identify the terms
of the loan being offered to them and
use that information to compare among
different loan products.
The data collection will include:
• Consent forms that will be used to
obtain the consent of participants in the
cognitive interviewing;
• Participant Questionnaires to obtain
demographic information about the
participants;
• Interview protocols for both
consumers and lenders/brokers; and
• Tools that seek input from a larger
community through the internet.
The core objective of the data
collection is to help refine specific
features of the content or design of the
form to maximize communication
effectiveness while minimizing
compliance burden, specifically by:
• Evaluating one or more draft
disclosure forms through iterative
qualitative testing with consumers and
lenders/brokers, including observation
of consumers’ usage of the disclosure,
their understanding of the contents, and
the choices they make.
• Collecting supplementary feedback
through the internet from consumers,
industry, housing counselors, and other
interested parties regarding the draft
disclosure(s).

The qualitative testing is focused on
the purposes of the integrated disclosure
to:
• Improve consumer understanding
by better disclosing risks and costs so
consumers can choose the home loans
that best meet their needs;
• Enable ‘‘shopping’’ in terms of
comparing loan products and loan
offers; and
• Facilitate compliance and ease
implementation for industry.
The CFPB implementation team plans
to test at six sites in five rounds to allow
for changes to the disclosure between
rounds. Because consumers are not the
only ones who will interact with the
loan disclosure, the testing plan
includes one-on-one cognitive testing
with brokers and lenders to evaluate the
usefulness of the form, any potential
areas of confusion, and potential
implementation and usability
challenges.
