SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Financial Coaching
Program for Veterans and Low-income
Consumers.
OMB Control Number: 3170–0051.
Type of Review: Extension with
change of a currently approved
collection.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
7,200.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 3,600.
Abstract: In early 2015, the Bureau
launched a Financial Coaching project
to provide direct financial coaching
services to transitioning veterans and
economically vulnerable consumers
nationwide. In order for the Bureau to
understand whether the program is
effective and for the financial coaches to
be able to deliver efficient services and
track clients over time, the Bureau
needs to take steps to monitor program
performance and to evaluate the
program. This includes collecting
administrative data about clients for
programmatic purposes. The
information is collected from the
coaches and includes a combination of
personal information (basic contact and
demographic information), performance
metrics (outputs), client-level outcomes
(progress towards financial goals or
other relevant outcomes) and
programmatic and organizational
outcomes.
The initial information collection
request for the administrative data
collected by coaches from financial
coaching clients for programmatic and
performance monitoring purposes was
approved in 2015 and expires on
February 28, 2018. In 2015, the
Financial Coaching program was
extended beyond the initial program
period and subsequently, this request is
for an extension of administrative data
collection. In addition, this information
request includes a modification, to add
five questions to the administrative data
collection. The five questions are part of
the Financial Well-being Survey, which
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
received approval under OMB Control
Number 3170–0063 in order to measure
the level of financial well-being of
American adults and key subpopulations. This will help us
understand the progress clients are
making and is also in line with the
Bureau’s overall efforts to be more
consistent in the information we are
collecting.
Request for Comments: The Bureau
issued a 60-day Federal Register notice
on November 8, 2017, (82 FR 51822),
Docket Number: CFPB–2017–0032.
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.
Comments submitted in response to this
notice will be reviewed by OMB as part
of its review of this request. All
comments will become a matter of
public record.
