Surveys Using the Consumer Credit Panel.
    OMB Control Number: 3170-XXXX.

    Estimated Number of Respondents: 8,500.

    Abstract: Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 
Protection Act, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is charged 
with researching, analyzing, and reporting on topics relating to the 
Bureau's mission, including consumer behavior, consumer awareness, and 
developments in markets for consumer financial products and services. 
In order to improve its understanding of how consumers engage with 
financial markets, the CFPB uses the Consumer Credit Panel, a 
proprietary sample dataset from one of the national credit reporting 
agencies, as a frame to survey people about their experiences in 
consumer credit markets. The Bureau seeks to obtain approval for a 
generic information collection plan for these types of surveys. Survey 
responses will be used for general, formative, and informational 
research on consumer financial markets and consumers' use of financial 
products and will not directly provide the basis for specific 
policymaking at the Bureau.
    Request for Comments: Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the Bureau, including whether the information will 
have practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the Bureau'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 Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval. All comments will become a matter 
of public record.

    Dated: March 12, 2015.
