complaint and inquiry processing, referral, and monitoring, involve 
several interrelated systems.\1\ The streamlined process of the generic 
clearance will continue to allow the Bureau to implement these systems 
efficiently, in line with the Bureau's commitment to continuous 
improvement of its delivery of services through iterative testing and 
feedback collection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ These interrelated systems include secure, web-based portals 
that allow consumers, companies, and agencies to access complaints 
and an online ``Tell Your Story'' feature that allows consumers to 
share feedback about their experiences in the consumer financial 
marketplace.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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 
approval. All comments will become a matter of public record.
