agency or entity (including its information systems, programs, and operations), the Federal Government, or

To the public in the form of names, affiliations, and other pertinent biographical information of board or
committee members; and
Appropriate agencies, entities, and persons to the extent necessary to obtain information relevant to making
a determination of whether an individual is eligible to serve on a CFPB board or committee.
The collection of this information is authorized by Pub. L. No. 111-203, Title X, sections 1011, 1012, 1014,
codified at 12 U.S.C. §§ 5491, 5492, 5494.
Providing your identifying information is voluntary, but not doing so may result in non-selection of a
prospective advisory board, body, panel, committee, or other similar group membership. However, failure to
provide your Social Security number may not be the reason for non-selection.
The Bureau has a special interest in ensuring that women, minority groups, and individuals with disabilities
are adequately represented on the Board and Councils, and therefore, encourages applications from
qualified candidates from these groups. In furtherance of this interest, the Bureau invites applicants to
the Board and Councils to voluntarily self-identify their race or ethnicity. Submission of this information is
voluntary and refusal to provide it will not disqualify you from consideration for service on the Board or
Councils. The information obtained will be kept confidential and will only be used for internal management
purposes. There have been occasions when members of the public and/or Congress have requested
information regarding the demographic composition of the Board and Councils. If the Bureau receives and
responds to such a request, data provided will not identify any specific individual.

Paperwork Reduction Act

this information collection is estimated to average approximately 1 hour per response, including the time for
