NO MATERIAL NON SUBSTANTIVE CHANGE REQUEST

GENERIC CLEARANCE FOR QUALITATIVE CONSUMER EDUCATION, ENGAGEMENT, AND EXPERIENCE INFORMATION COLLECTIONS

(OMB CONTROL NUMBER: 3170-0036)

In consultation with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) request that the expected time for OMB review of generic information collection requests (ICs) submitted under this generic information collection plan (GICP) be changed from fourteen (14) days¹ to thirty (30) days.

This request is being made in order to provide OMB sufficient time to conduct its review of ICs submitted under this GICP pursuant to its responsibilities under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and , as applicable, OMB’s statistical policy. The adjusted time for OMB review will also allow CFPB staff to better manage expectations for project plans that contain activities requiring clearance under this GICP.

Additionally, CFPB is providing OMB with an updated IC submission template. Among other things, the template has been revised to

• enhance linkages with the Privacy Act;

• enhance certification (in order to further clarify the constraints of this GICP; and

• improve the flow and readability of the Template.
