Agency Information Collection
Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Bureau of Consumer Financial
Protection.
ACTION: Notice and request for comment.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Consumer
Financial Protection (Bureau), as part of
its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to take this
opportunity to comment on a proposed
information collection, as required by
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
The Bureau is soliciting comments
concerning its proposed information
collection titled, ‘‘Pentagon Federal
Credit Card Agreement Simplification
Survey.’’ The proposed collection has
been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget for review and
approval. A copy of the submission,
including copies of the proposed
collection and supporting
documentation, may be obtained by
contacting the agency contact listed
below.
SUMMARY:
Written comments are
encouraged and must be received on or
before October 18, 2012 to be assured of
consideration.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by agency name and
collection title, ‘‘Pentagon Federal
Credit Card Agreement Simplification
Survey,’’ to:
• Agency: Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (Attention: PRA
Office), 1700 G Street NW., Washington,
DC 20552; (202) 435–9011; and
CFPB_Public_PRA@cfpb.gov.
• OMB: Shagufta Ahmed, Office of
Management and Budget, New
Executive Office Building, Room 10235,
Washington, DC 20503; (202) 395–7873.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information
should be directed to Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau (Attention:
PRA Office), 1700 G Street NW.,
Washington, DC 20552, (202) 435–9011,
or through the internet at
CFPB_Public_PRA@cfpb.gov.
DATES:
Title:
Pentagon Federal Credit Card
Agreement Simplification Survey.
OMB Control Number: 3170–XXXX.
Type of Review: New.
Abstract: The Bureau of Consumer
Financial Protection (Bureau)
respectfully requests emergency
processing and approval of the
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
collection of information discussed
below because the proposed information
collection is essential to the mission of
the agency and the use of normal
clearance procedures is reasonably
likely to prevent collection. The Bureau
of Consumer Financial Protection
(Bureau) is requesting emergency
approval from OMB to conduct
qualitative research related to a shortform credit card agreement Pentagon
Federal Credit Union (Pentagon Federal)
is piloting this fall. The research is
designed to result in recommendations
for development of and revisions to the
Bureau’s approach to improving the
readability of credit card agreements.
The research activities will be
conducted by phone surveys of
consumers who will have received the
agreements from Pentagon Federal. The
feasibility and value of this approach
has been demonstrated by other
agencies in developing disclosures and
other forms. The survey will provide
illustrative qualitative information only,
and does not constitute a quantitative
information collection. Survey results
will not be used to make statisticallyvalid assessments for the purposes of
extrapolating to the broader US
population. The planned research
activities need to be conducted during
calendar Q4 2012 and calendar Q1 2013,
as Pentagon Federal will send the shortform credit card agreement to new
credit card holders in calendar Q4 2012
and Q1 2013. As the survey includes
questions that ask a consumer to recall
their impression of the cardholder
agreement, the survey must be
administered shortly after initial receipt
of the agreement, when those
impressions remain fresh. The Bureau
therefore requests emergency processing
and approval of the information
collection request as the normal
clearance process would disrupt the
collection.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Estimated Number of Responses: 500
affirmative responses, 500 negative
responses.
Estimated Time per Respondent: 15
minutes per affirmative response, 1
minute per negative response.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 133.3 total burden hours.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a respondent is not
required to respond to, an information
collection unless the information
collection displays a currently valid
OMB control number.
Comments are being solicited on: (a)
Whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Bureau, including
whether the information shall have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
Bureau’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and the
assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways 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.
