BUREAU OF CONSUMER FINANCIAL

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for OMB 

Review; Comment Request 

AGENCY: Bureau of Consumer Financial 

Protection. 

ACTION: Notice and request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Consumer 

Financial Protection (Bureau), as part of 

its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on a proposed 

information collection, as required by 

the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. 

The Bureau is soliciting comments 

concerning its proposed information 

collection titled, ‘‘Pentagon Federal 

Credit Card Agreement Simplification 

Survey.’’ The proposed collection has 

been submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget for review and 

approval. A copy of the submission, 

including copies of the proposed 

collection and supporting 

documentation, may be obtained by 

contacting the agency contact listed 

below. 

DATES: Written comments are 

encouraged and must be received on or 

before October 18, 2012 to be assured of 

consideration. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by agency name and 

collection title, ‘‘Pentagon Federal 

Credit Card Agreement Simplification 

Survey,’’ to: 

• Agency: Consumer Financial 

Protection Bureau (Attention: PRA 

Office), 1700 G Street NW., Washington, 

DC 20552; (202) 435–9011; and 

CFPB_Public_PRA@cfpb.gov. 

• OMB: Shagufta Ahmed, Office of 

Management and Budget, New 

Executive Office Building, Room 10235, 

Washington, DC 20503; (202) 395–7873. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Requests for additional information 

should be directed to Consumer 

Financial Protection Bureau (Attention: 

PRA Office), 1700 G Street NW.,

or through the internet at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: 

Pentagon Federal Credit Card 

Agreement Simplification Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 3170–XXXX. 

Type of Review: New. 

Abstract: The Bureau of Consumer 

Financial Protection (Bureau) 

respectfully requests emergency 

processing and approval of the 

collection of information discussed 

below because the proposed information 

collection is essential to the mission of 

the agency and the use of normal 

clearance procedures is reasonably 

likely to prevent collection. The Bureau 

of Consumer Financial Protection 

(Bureau) is requesting emergency 

approval from OMB to conduct 

qualitative research related to a shortform credit card agreement Pentagon 

Federal Credit Union (Pentagon Federal) 

is piloting this fall. The research is 

designed to result in recommendations 

for development of and revisions to the 

Bureau’s approach to improving the 

readability of credit card agreements. 

The research activities will be 

conducted by phone surveys of 

consumers who will have received the 

agreements from Pentagon Federal. The 

feasibility and value of this approach 

has been demonstrated by other 

agencies in developing disclosures and 

other forms. The survey will provide 

illustrative qualitative information only, 

and does not constitute a quantitative 

information collection. Survey results 

will not be used to make statisticallyvalid assessments for the purposes of 

extrapolating to the broader US 

population. The planned research 

activities need to be conducted during 

calendar Q4 2012 and calendar Q1 2013, 

as Pentagon Federal will send the shortform credit card agreement to new 

credit card holders in calendar Q4 2012 

and Q1 2013. As the survey includes 

questions that ask a consumer to recall 

their impression of the cardholder 

agreement, the survey must be 

administered shortly after initial receipt 

of the agreement, when those 

impressions remain fresh. The Bureau 

therefore requests emergency processing 

and approval of the information 

collection request as the normal 

clearance process would disrupt the 

collection. 

Affected Public: Individuals. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 500 

affirmative responses, 500 negative 

responses. 

Estimated Time per Respondent: 15 

minutes per affirmative response, 1 

minute per negative response. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 133.3 total burden hours. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a respondent is not 

required to respond to, an information 

collection unless the information 

collection displays a currently valid 

OMB control number. 

Comments are being solicited on: (a) 

Whether the collection of information is 

necessary for the proper performance of 

the functions of the Bureau, including 

whether the information shall have 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 181 / Tuesday, September 18, 2012 / Notices 57561 

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 

Bureau’s estimate of the burden of the 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology 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.
