SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Generic Clearance for Consumer 

Complaint and Information Collection 

Systems. 

OMB Control Number: 3710–XXX. 

Abstract: Over the next three years, 

the CFPB anticipates undertaking a 

variety of service delivery-focused 

activities under the Dodd-Frank Act. 

These activities, which include 

consumer complaint and inquiry 

processing, information-sharing with 

stakeholders, and complaint monitoring, 

require interrelated processes, or 

systems, that are responsive to 

stakeholders’ needs, sensitive to 

changes in the consumer market, and 

subject to iterative testing. Since these 

systems will use similar methods for 

information collection or otherwise 

share common elements, the CFPB is 

proposing a generic clearance for intake 

forms, response forms and feedback 

collections. The streamlined process of 

the generic clearance will allow the 

CFPB to implement these systems and 

meet the obligations of the PRA without 

the delays of the normal clearance 

process. The CFPB’s Consumer 

Complaint and Information Collection 

Systems’ generic information collection 

burden estimates will consist of the 

burden attributable to: (1) Consumer 

complaint and inquiry intake, (2) 

stakeholder feedback collection, (3) 

consumer complaint and inquiry 

tracking, and (4) consumer complaint 

referral programming. An approved set 

of collection questions and fields 

associated with the pilot intake form 

(OMB Control No. 1505–0236) and a 

proposed set associated with the 

standard Consumer Response Intake 

Form (76 FR 38,458 (June 30, 2011)) will 

serve as the initial models for the 

collections proposed under a generic 

information collection request. The 

CFPB will only undertake a new 

collection under this generic clearance 

if the OMB does not object to the CFPB’s 

proposal. 

Type of Review: Generic Clearance 

Request. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

Households, Businesses and 

Organizations, State, Local or Tribal 

governments. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: A 

preliminary estimate of aggregate 

burden for this generic clearance 

follows. As the statutory mandate 

behind the CFPB’s consumer complaint 

and information collection activities is 

largely unprecedented, the projections 

of the number of respondents have a 

high level of uncertainty.

National Agricultural Statistics Service 

Title: Agricultural Resource 

Management, Chemical Use, and Postharvest Chemical Use Surveys. 

OMB Control Number: 0535–0218. 

Summary of Collection: The primary 

objectives of the National Agricultural 

Statistics Service (NASS) are to provide 

the public with timely and reliable 

agricultural production and economic 

statistics, as well as environmental and 

specialty agricultural related statistics. 

Three surveys—the Agricultural 

Resource Management Study, the Fruit 

and Vegetable Chemical Use Surveys, 

and the Post-harvest Chemical Use 

Survey—are critical to NASS’ ability to 

fulfill these objectives and to build the 

Congressionally mandated database on 

agricultural chemical use and related 

farm practices. NASS uses a variety of 

survey instruments to collect the 

information in conjunction with these 

studies. 

Need and Use of the Information: The 

Agricultural Resource Management 

Study provides a robust data base of 

information to address varied needs of 

policy makers. There are many uses for 

the information from this study 

including an evaluation of the safety of 

the Nation’s food supply; input to the 

farm sector portion of the gross 

domestic product; and to provide a 

barometer on the financial condition of 

farm businesses. Data from the Fruit and 

Vegetable Chemical Use Surveys is used 

to assess the environmental and 

economic implications of various 

program and policies and the impact on 

agricultural producers and consumers. 

The results of the Post-harvest Chemical 

Use Survey are used by the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

to develop Food Quality Protection Act 

risk assessments. Other organizations 

use this data to make sound regulatory 

decisions. 

Description of Respondents: Farms. 

Number of Respondents: 135,583. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting: 

Annually. 

Total Burden Hours: 79,731.
