Title: Clearance for Consumer Attitudes, Understanding, and Behaviors with Respect to Financial Services and Products.

OMB Number: 3170–XXXX. Abstract: Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Bureau is responsible for ‘‘developing and implementing initiatives intended to educate and empower consumers to make better informed decisions.’’ 1 The Dodd-Frank Act also directs the Bureau to research, analyze, and report on consumer awareness and understanding of, and behaviors with respect to, financial services and products and the associated costs and benefits. 2 In keeping with the Bureau’s commitment to encouraging evidence-based practices to improve consumer financial outcomes, the Bureau exercises its authorities under the Act to measure the impacts of specific Bureau initiatives aimed at improving consumers’ financial literacy and decision-making skills.

In service of these mandates, the Bureau intends to commission a yearly consumer research survey to better understand the attitudes, understanding, and behaviors of American adult consumers around issues of consumer finance. Following the baseline survey in the first year, subsequent surveys will help the Bureau assess consumers’ awareness of, engagement in, and the ultimate impact of, the Bureau’s efforts to educate and empower consumers to improve their financial decision-making skills and
outcomes.

The CFPB expects to collect qualitative data through telephone or Internet based surveys, but the CFPB will consider alternative data collection strategies. The information collected through qualitative evaluation methods will increase the Bureau’s understanding of consumers’ attitudes, understanding, and behaviors with respect to consumer financial products and services. Subsequent surveys will build off the baseline results to help the Bureau assess the impact of specific initiatives on baseline metrics regarding consumer awareness, engagement, and outcomes in relation to those initiatives.

The core objective of the information collection in the first year is to measure consumers’ awareness, understanding, and behaviors with respect to consumer financial services and products. Subsequent years’ surveys will also measure the effectiveness of the Bureau’s efforts to educate and empower consumers. This information will help inform the Bureau’s consumer engagement and education efforts, which will allow the Bureau to improve its delivery of services to consumers with the goal of improving consumers’ financial decision-making skills and
outcomes.

Current Actions: New request for a generic collection.

Type of Review: New. Affected Public: Individuals or Households.

Process Number of respondents Number of responses per respondent Average burden per response Total burden
