Abstract: Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is charged with researching, analyzing, and reporting on topics relating to the Bureau’s mission, including consumer behavior, consumer VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:30 Sep 06, 2016 Jkt 238001 awareness, and developments in markets for consumer financial products and services. In order to improve its understanding of how consumers engage with financial markets, the CFPB has successfully used the Consumer Credit Panel (CCP), a proprietary sample dataset from one of the national credit reporting agencies, as a frame to survey people about their experiences in consumer credit markets. The Bureau seeks to obtain approval for a generic information collection plan for these types of surveys. Surveys conducted under this generic information collection plan will support the Bureau’s research agenda to monitor developments in consumers’ financial situations, related changes in their use of financial products, and the impacts that these decisions have on their balance sheets. All research under this plan will be for general, formative, and informational research on consumer financial markets and consumers’ use of financial products and will not directly provide the basis for specific policymaking at the Bureau. REQUEST FOR COMMENTS: The Bureau issued a 60-day Federal Register notice on March 3, 2015 (80 FR 15194). Comments were solicited and continue to be invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the Bureau’s estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of the methods 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. Upon submission of this request to OMB the Bureau issued a 30-day Federal Register notice on June 25, 2015 (80 FR 36521). After further consultation with OMB, the Bureau revised this request to include additional 30 day public notices for each study submitted to OMB for review under this information collection plan. Therefore, upon submission of each study submitted to OMB under this information collection plan, the Bureau will publish a notice in the Federal Register proving the public 30 days to comment on each study. Comments will be directed to OMB to inform its review of each request made under this information collection plan. All comments will become a matter of public record.

Title of Collection: Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) 2017 National Supplement. OMB Control Number: 1850–0870. Type of Review: A reinstatement of a previously approved information collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals or Households. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 12,626. Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,960. Abstract: The Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) is a cyclical, large-scale study of adult skills and life experiences focusing on education and employment, designed internationally to assess adults in different countries over a broad range of abilities, from simple reading to complex problemsolving skills, and to collect information on individuals’ skill use and background. In the United States, PIAAC is conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). PIAAC defines four core competency domains of adult cognitive skills seen as key to facilitating the social and economic participation of adults in advanced economies: Literacy, reading components, numeracy, and problem solving in technology-rich environments. PIAAC also surveys adults on their education background, work history, the skills they use on the job and at home, their civic engagement, and sense of their health and well-being. The results are used to compare participating countries on the skills capacities of their workforce-aged adults and to learn more about relationships between educational background, employment, and other outcomes. PIAAC is coordinated by the Organization for Economic Cooperation E:\FR\FM\07SEN1.SGM 07SEN1
