SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Generic Clearance for Consumer
Complaint and Information Collection
Systems.
OMB Control Number: 3710–XXX.

These activities, which include
consumer complaint and inquiry
processing, information-sharing with
stakeholders, and complaint monitoring,

require interrelated processes, or
systems, that are responsive to
stakeholders’ needs, sensitive to
changes in the consumer market, and
subject to iterative testing. Since these
systems will use similar methods for
information collection or otherwise
share common elements, the CFPB is
proposing a generic clearance for intake
forms, response forms and feedback
collections. The streamlined process of
the generic clearance will allow the
CFPB to implement these systems and
meet the obligations of the PRA without
the delays of the normal clearance
process. The CFPB’s Consumer
Complaint and Information Collection
Systems’ generic information collection
burden estimates will consist of the
burden attributable to: (1) Consumer
complaint and inquiry intake, (2)
stakeholder feedback collection, (3)
consumer complaint and inquiry
tracking, and (4) consumer complaint
referral programming. An approved set
of collection questions and fields
associated with the pilot intake form
(OMB Control No. 1505–0236) and a
proposed set associated with the
standard Consumer Response Intake
Form (76 FR 38,458 (June 30, 2011)) will
serve as the initial models for the
collections proposed under a generic
information collection request. The
CFPB will only undertake a new
collection under this generic clearance
if the OMB does not object to the CFPB’s
proposal.
Type of Review: Generic Clearance
Request.
Affected Public: Individuals and
Households, Businesses and
Organizations, State, Local or Tribal
governments.
Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
Estimated Number of Respondents: A
preliminary estimate of aggregate
burden for this generic clearance
follows. As the statutory mandate
behind the CFPB’s consumer complaint
and information collection activities is
largely unprecedented, the projections
of the number of respondents have a
high level of uncertainty.

studies.
Need and Use of the Information: The
Agricultural Resource Management
Study provides a robust data base of
information to address varied needs of
policy makers. There are many uses for
the information from this study
including an evaluation of the safety of
the Nation’s food supply; input to the
farm sector portion of the gross
domestic product; and to provide a
barometer on the financial condition of
farm businesses. Data from the Fruit and
Vegetable Chemical Use Surveys is used
to assess the environmental and
economic implications of various
program and policies and the impact on
agricultural producers and consumers.
The results of the Post-harvest Chemical
Use Survey are used by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
to develop Food Quality Protection Act
risk assessments. Other organizations
use this data to make sound regulatory
decisions.

persons are not required to respond to
the collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control

and the Post-harvest Chemical Use
Survey—are critical to NASS’ ability to
fulfill these objectives and to build the
Congressionally mandated database on
agricultural chemical use and related
farm practices. NASS uses a variety of
survey instruments to collect the
