SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection
was created by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) \1\ to implement and, where applicable,
enforce Federal consumer financial law consistently to achieve certain
specified ends. The Bureau collects, manages, and publishes information
in the course of its activities pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act and
other statutes. Congress delineated six ``primary functions'' of the
Bureau in the Dodd-Frank Act.\2\ Some of those functions expressly
require the Bureau to collect data; in other instances, collecting data
is integral to enabling the Bureau to discharge a function. Consistent
with the practice of many Federal agencies, including other financial
regulators, the Bureau collects information to inform and guide its
work. Like other agencies, the Bureau also works to protect its data by
using a secure environment and employing best practices for data
controls. For example, the Bureau limits who has access to its Data
Collections, de-identifies data, and prohibits Bureau staff from trying
to re-identify individuals from de-identified datasets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ Public Law 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010).
\2\ 12 U.S.C. 5511(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The executive branch has also emphasized data use, and the
President's Management Agenda directly addresses data and information
technology as primary drivers of transformation. One of the Cross-
Agency Priority Goals is to leverage data as strategic assets to grow
the economy, increase the effectiveness of the Federal government,
facilitate oversight, and promote transparency. The Bureau aims to
leverage data in the same way.
The Bureau is issuing concurrently with this Request for
Information (RFI) a report on the Sources and Uses of Data at the
Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (``Data Report''), available on
its website,\3\ which describes the sources and uses of the data that
the Bureau intakes, including data that is obtained for one purpose and
put to an additional use (``reuse''). The Data Report also describes
the Bureau's data governance structure and processes, including the
structure and processes governing the intake, use, access and
disclosure of data. We refer to these activities as the Bureau's ``Data
Governance Program.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\3\ See Bureau of Consumer Fin. Prot., ``Sources and Uses of
Data at the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection,'' (Sept. 2018),
available at https://www.consumerfinance.gov/data-research/research-reports/sources-and-uses-data-bureau-consumer-financial-protection/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This RFI seeks input on several aspects of the Bureau's Data
Governance Program and its Data Collection activities to date, and
suggestions for future improvements. For purposes of this RFI, we use
the phrase ``Data Collections'' to refer to Bureau data intakes outside
of the Division of Supervision, Enforcement, and Fair Lending or of the
Office of Consumer Response. Data Collections include data that are
collected by another agency and shared with the Bureau, data that are
collected by a commercial entity and sold to the Bureau, public data
that are downloaded by the Bureau, as well as instances in which the
Bureau itself collects data either directly or through a contractor.
The Data Report provides detailed information on the Bureau's Data
Collections activities to date.

[[Page 49073]]

Request for Information Overview

The Bureau is using this RFI to seek public input regarding the
overall effectiveness and efficiency of the Bureau's Data Collections,
as well as changes that it may make, consistent with applicable law, to
the Data Governance Program at the Bureau; the Bureau's Data Collection
practices related to privacy; the sources, uses, and scope of
information the Bureau collects; ways the Bureau should or should not
reuse data collected for one purpose to inform other functions of the
Bureau; ways to reduce reporting burden; changes that may assist the
Bureau to more effectively meet our statutory purpose and objectives;
and other activities that the Bureau could engage in to make Data
Collections from financial institutions more effective and efficient.
The Bureau recently concluded a Call for Evidence in which it
sought public comment, through a series of RFIs, on multiple aspects of
the Bureau's work. This RFI is not intended to duplicate that work.
Accordingly, the Bureau is not seeking comments on the following data
or Data Collections that are addressed in other recent Bureau RFIs: (1)
Information collected as part of the Bureau's consumer complaint
process, public complaint reporting, and the Consumer Complaint
Database; \4\ (2) the substance of any particular rule (for both rules
the Bureau adopted and those it inherited) with separate information
collection requirements; \5\ or (3) information collected through the
Bureau's enforcement civil investigative demands (CIDs) or through
supervisory activities.\6\ The suggested topics for this RFI (below)
are not intended to cover data issues or Data Collections in those
areas. The Bureau does, however, invite comments on the Bureau's reuse
of data collected through consumer response and supervisory and
enforcement activities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reporting Practices of Consumer Complaint Information, 83 FR 9499
(Mar. 6, 2018); Request for Information Regarding the Bureau's
Consumer Complaint and Consumer Inquiry Handling Processes, 83 FR
16839 (Apr. 17, 2018).
\5\ See Request for Information Regarding the Bureau's Adopted
Regulations and New Rulemaking Authorities, 83 FR 12286 (Mar. 21,
2018); Request for Information Regarding the Bureau's Inherited
Regulations and Inherited Rulemaking Authorities, 83 FR 12881 (Mar.

2018); Request for Information Regarding the Bureau's Supervision
Program, 83 FR 7166 (Feb. 20, 2018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Bureau encourages comments from all interested members of the
public. The Bureau anticipates that the responding public may include
entities subject to Bureau rules, trade associations and professional
services organizations that represent these entities, individual
consumers, consumer advocates, regulators, and researchers or members
of academia.

Suggested Topics for Commenters

To allow the Bureau to evaluate suggestions more effectively, the
Bureau requests that, where possible, comments include:

Specific discussions of any potential changes to our
Data Collection processes, consistent with the laws providing the
Bureau with data collection authority and the Bureau's statutory
purposes and objectives, and including, in as much detail as
possible, the nature of the requested change, and supporting data or
other information on impacts, costs, benefits, or information
concerning alignment with the processes of other agencies.
Specific identification of any aspects of the Bureau's
approach to its Data Collections that are working well, and
including, in as much detail as possible, supporting data or other
information on impacts, costs, benefits, or information concerning
alignment with the processes of other agencies.

The following sections list areas of interest on which commenters
may want to focus. This non-exhaustive list is meant to assist in the
formulation of comments and is not intended to restrict what may be
addressed by the public. Commenters may comment on matters that are
related to the Bureau's Data Collections, but do not appear in the list
below. The Bureau requests that, in addressing these questions,
commenters identify with specificity the Bureau's Data Collection,
format, process, or delivery platform at issue, providing specific
examples where appropriate. In discussing the Bureau's Data Collections
to date, the Bureau also requests that commenters provide examples and
supporting information where possible, as well as relevant information
about how this information has been collected by an institution, by
which parties, and in what ways. Commenters should feel free to comment
on some or all of the questions below, but are encouraged to indicate
in which area your comments are focused.
The Bureau requests that commenters note their highest priorities,
where possible, along with an explanation of how or why certain
suggestions have been prioritized. Suggestions will be most helpful if
they focus on revisions that the Bureau could implement without changes
in the law, consistent with its existing statutory authorities.
The Bureau is seeking feedback on all aspects of its Data
Collections, including the following areas of interest:
1. Aspects of the Bureau's Data Governance Program, including:
a. Best practices for data governance that the Bureau should
consider adopting; and
b. Additional ways that the Bureau can improve its Data Governance
Program, including improvements to its processes for collecting data,
managing data, and releasing data.
2. The Bureau's Data Collection practices related to privacy,
including practices the Bureau should maintain or changes that the
Bureau can feasibly make to further protect privacy without hindering
the Bureau's ability to accomplish its objectives and statutory
mandates. Topics may include:
a. Use of aggregated data, including sources of aggregated data
sufficient to effectively do the Bureau's work;
b. Use of sampling methodologies;
c. Use of de-identified data and de-identification processes;
d. Use of direct identifiers;
e. Notice to consumers regarding use of data known to be related to
them; and
f. How the Bureau's Data Collection practices related to privacy
compare to other Federal agencies' practices.
3. Changes the Bureau should, or should not, make to the sources,
uses, and scope of its Data Collections.
4. How and when data collected primarily for one Bureau function
should, or should not, be used for other Bureau functions consistent
with applicable law. Topics may include:
a. The use of confidential supervisory information or confidential
investigation information to inform multiple functions of the Bureau;
b. The use of data obtained for purposes of research, market
monitoring, or for assessing the effectiveness of significant rules to
inform other functions of the Bureau;
c. Reduction of burden on potential furnishers of data by use of
the same data by other Bureau functions; and
d. Other issues that the Bureau should consider when using a Data
Collection for a function other than the primary function for which it
was collected.
5. Ways to improve Data Collection processes that reduce reporting
burden without hindering the Bureau's ability to accomplish statutory
objectives. Topics may include:
a. Whether Bureau Data Collections overlap with information
maintained by other governmental agencies in a way that makes it
difficult or particularly burdensome for institutions to comply with
Bureau Data Collections;
b. Whether and how the Bureau should leverage existing industry
data standards for particular markets that the Bureau regulates as part
of its Data Collections;

[[Page 49074]]

c. Whether Data Collection requests are aligned with how
institutions maintain information or utilize current technologies;
d. Whether Data Collections have provided helpful insight into
particular markets, and whether there are other collections that would
prove more insightful; and
e. Ways the Bureau may interact with industry or consumer groups to
gather suggestions on how to reduce reporting burden and increase the
effectiveness of its Data Collections.
6. Changes the Bureau could make to existing Data Collections, or
potential new Data Collections the Bureau could collect, consistent
with its statutory authority, to more effectively meet the statutory
purposes and objectives as set forth in section 1021 of the Dodd-Frank
Act:
a. The statutory purposes set forth in section 1021(a) are:
i. All consumers have access to markets for consumer financial
products and services; and
ii. Markets for consumer financial products and services are fair,
transparent, and competitive.
b. The statutory objectives set forth in section 1021(b) are:
i. Consumers are provided with timely and understandable
information to make responsible decisions about financial transactions;
ii. Consumers are protected from unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts
and practices and from discrimination;
iii. Outdated, unnecessary, or unduly burdensome regulations are
regularly identified and addressed in order to reduce unwarranted
regulatory burdens;
iv. Federal consumer financial law is enforced consistently,
without regard to the status of a person as a depository institution,
in order to promote fair competition; and
v. Markets for consumer financial products and services operate
transparently and efficiently to facilitate access and innovation.
7. Other activities that the Bureau could engage in to make the
Data Collection requests from financial institutions more effective and
efficient.
8. Areas where the Bureau has not exercised the full extent of its
Data Collection authority; where Data Collections would be beneficial
and align with the purposes and objectives of the applicable Federal
consumer financial laws; and/or where the Bureau can better leverage
data as a strategic asset to increase effectiveness.

Authority: 12 U.S.C. 5511(c); 12 U.S.C. 5492(a).
