SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Applications for Advisory Boards, 

Groups, and Committees. 

OMB Number: 3170–XXXX. 

Abstract: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street 

Reform and Consumer Protection Act 

(Dodd-Frank Act), Public Law 111–203, 

Title X, Section 1014 (12 U.S.C. 5494) 

requires the Director of the Bureau to 

establish a Consumer Advisory Board 

(CAB) to advise and consult with the 

Bureau in the exercise of its functions 

under the federal consumer financial 

laws, and to provide information on 

emerging practices in the consumer 

financial products or services industry, 

including regional trends, concerns, and 

other relevant information. In addition 

to the CAB, the Bureau anticipates that 

it may establish additional advisory 

boards, bodies, panels, committees or 

other similar groups (collectively 

referred to as ‘‘other Advisory Groups’’) 

to advise and consult with the Bureau 

in the exercise of its functions. The CAB 

and other Advisory Groups may invite 

individuals with special expertise to 

advise the groups on an ad hoc basis 

(Special Advisors). 

The Bureau seeks to collect selectionrelated information from nominees to 

the CAB, such as background 

information, information related to 

financial disclosures, and other 

supplemental information relevant to 

the application process. The Bureau 

may collect similar information from 

potential candidates for other Advisory 

Groups, members of other Advisory 

Groups, and Special Advisors to CAB 

and other Advisory Groups, as relevant 

to the particular group. 

This information collection will allow 

the Bureau to obtain information on the 

qualifications of individuals nominated 

to the CAB and will aid the Bureau in 

its selection of members for other 

Advisory Groups. The information 

collection also will aid the Bureau in 

selecting Special Advisors to the CAB 

and other Advisory Groups. 

Once selected, Bureau staff may ask 

members of CAB and other Advisory 

Groups and Special Advisors, as part of 

their participation, to respond to 

questions asked to the CAB and other 

Advisory Groups or Special Advisors, or 

to provide information/advice based 

upon their expertise on issues before the 

CAB and other Advisory Groups related 

to the Bureau’s exercise of its functions. 

Collection instruments for the CAB may 

include nomination forms with 

questions about assets and income,

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 106 / Friday, June 1, 2012 / Notices 32595 

affiliations and representations, 

financial interests and liabilities, and 

relevant professional experience. 

Collection instruments for other 

Advisory Groups or for Special Advisors 

may include questionnaires about 

professional experience relevant to the 

particular group or may include 

certifications regarding financial 

interests relevant to a particular group 

or a particular meeting. Additionally, 

nominees, members, former members, 

and Special Advisors may be asked to 

provide information/feedback on their 

experiences as related to the selection 

process or participation in the group. 

Collection instruments likely will 

include feedback forms and other 

similar questionnaires about the 

participant’s experience on or with the 

CAB or other Advisory Groups, 

including their experience with the 

Bureau’s information collections. 

Type of Review: New generic 

collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals, and for 

certain groups individual business 

representatives. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 277. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 25. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden
