Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 115 / Thursday, June 14, 2012 / Notices
recommendations to the Director of the
Bureau, to the Secretary of the Treasury,
the Secretary of Education, and to
Congress.
In support of the duties of the
Ombudsman under section 1035 of
Dodd-Frank, the Bureau seeks
information on borrower complaints
about private education loans.1 To
supplement the data that the
Ombudsman will receive through the
Bureau’s consumer complaint intake
function and to capture qualitative
information that may help to inform the
Ombudsman’s recommendations, this
notice and request for information
therefore seeks responses from the
public, including:
• Institutions of higher education’s
financial aid offices;
• State attorneys general;
• State and local banking and
consumer protection agencies;
• Borrower advocates and legal aid
entities; or
• Complaint resolution departments
of lenders and servicers;
• Other interested parties.
To assist the Bureau in satisfying the
requirement that the Ombudsman shall
‘‘compile and analyze data on borrower
complaints’’ mandated by Section 1035,
the Bureau is interested in receiving
comments that could bear on its
analysis of data regarding borrower
complaints. The Bureau is therefore
interested in responses to the questions
outlined below, including, where
known, information on the volume of
complaints received and complaint
outcomes. Please note that the Bureau is
not soliciting individual borrower
complaints in response to this notice
and request for information. Nor is the
Bureau seeking personally identifiable
information (PII) regarding borrower
complaints, from the parties to the
complaint or any third party. Responses
to this subsection should not contain
account numbers, Social Security
numbers or other personal information
that could be used to identify the
complainant or another party identified
in a complaint, or in any way otherwise
reveal personally identifiable
information. Below are some general
areas for which information is being
sought. Please feel free to respond to
any or all of the questions below:
1. What complaints are submitted by
borrowers of private student loans?
Among other things, responses can
address topics that relate to some or all
of following areas:
1 As used in Section 1035 of Dodd-Frank, ‘‘private
education loans’’ is defined by section 140 of the
Truth in Lending Act (15 U.S.C. 1650).

d. Generalized descriptions or

complaints from private student loan
borrowers.
