The notice covered the agreement by Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) to grant local trackage rights to BNSF over UP’s lines extending between: (1) UP milepost 93.2 at Stockton, Cal., on UP’s Oakland Subdivision, and UP milepost 219.4 at Elsey, Cal., on UP’s Canyon Subdivision, a distance of approximately 126.2 miles; and (2) UP milepost 219.4 at Elsey, Cal., and UP milepost 280.7 at PO 00000 Frm 00115 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 The Department of Treasury, on behalf of itself and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), will submit the following public information collection requirement to OMB for review and clearance under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13 on or after the date of publication of this notice. A copy of the submission may be obtained by Keddie, Cal., on UP’s Canyon Subdivision, a distance of 61.3 miles. BNSF states that the trackage rights are only temporary rights, but, because they are ‘‘local’’ rather than ‘‘overhead’’ rights, they do not qualify for the Board’s class exemption for temporary trackage rights at 49 CFR 1180.2(d)(8).

Title: Qualitative Testing of Integrated Mortgage Loan Disclosure Forms. Description: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Public Law 111–203, Title X, requires CFPB to develop model forms that will integrate separate disclosures concerning residential mortgage loans that are required under the Truth in Lending Act and Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. The CFPB implementation team will collect data, including through interviews and the internet, to inform its design and development of the mandated integrated disclosure and its implementation. The information collected through the oneon-one cognitive interviews and the internet will inform the disclosure form’s design and content, using an iterative process to improve the draft form to make it easier for consumers to use the document to identify the terms of the loan being offered to them and use that information to compare among different loan products. The data collection will include: • Consent forms that will be used to obtain the consent of participants in the cognitive interviewing; • Participant Questionnaires to obtain demographic information about the participants; • Interview protocols for both consumers and lenders/brokers; and • Tools that seek input from a larger community through the internet. The core objective of the data collection is to help refine specific features of the content or design of the form to maximize communication effectiveness while minimizing compliance burden, specifically by: • Evaluating one or more draft disclosure forms through iterative qualitative testing with consumers and lenders/brokers, including observation of consumers’ usage of the disclosure, their understanding of the contents, and the choices they make. • Collecting supplementary feedback through the internet from consumers, industry, housing counselors, and other interested parties regarding the draft disclosure(s). VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:18 Apr 04, 2011 Jkt 223001 The qualitative testing is focused on the purposes of the integrated disclosure to: • Improve consumer understanding by better disclosing risks and costs so consumers can choose the home loans that best meet their needs; • Enable ‘‘shopping’’ in terms of comparing loan products and loan offers; and • Facilitate compliance and ease implementation for industry. The CFPB implementation team plans to test at six sites in five rounds to allow for changes to the disclosure between rounds. Because consumers are not the only ones who will interact with the loan disclosure, the testing plan includes one-on-one cognitive testing with brokers and lenders to evaluate the usefulness of the form, any potential areas of confusion, and potential implementation and usability challenges.
