BUREAU OF CONSUMER FINANCIAL

[Docket No. CFPB–2012–0008] 

Submission for OMB Review; 

Comment Request 

ACTION: Notice and request for comment. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Consumer 

Financial Protection (Bureau), as part of 

its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork burdens, invites the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

comment on a proposed information 

collection, as required by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104– 

13. The Bureau is soliciting comments 

regarding the information collection 

requirements contained in 12 CFR part 

1082, State Official Notification Rule 

that has been submitted to the Office of 

Management and Budget for review and 

approval. A copy of the submission may 

be obtained by contacting the agency 

contact listed below. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before March 30, 2012 to 

be assured of consideration. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by Docket No. CFPB–2012– 

0008, to: 

CFPB Chief Information Officer: Chris 

Willey, Consumer Financial Protection 

Bureau, 1700 G Street NW., Washington, 

DC 20006; (202) 435–7741. 

OMB Reviewer: 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 Ethan Levisohn, 

Office of Enforcement, at (202) 435– 

7055. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: CFPB State Official Notification 

Rule. 

OMB Control Number: 3170–0019. 

The collection was formerly approved 

under Treasury Control Number 1505– 

0237 and has since been transferred to 

the Bureau. 

Abstract: Section 1042 of the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer 

Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act), 

Public Law 111–203, requires the 

Bureau to prescribe rules establishing 

procedures that govern the process, 

described in Section 1042(b) of the 

Dodd-Frank Act, by which State 

Officials notify the Bureau of actions 

undertaken pursuant to the authority 

granted in section 1042(a) to enforce 

Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act or 

regulations prescribed thereunder. In 

accordance with the requirements of the 

Dodd-Frank Act, the Bureau has 

published an Interim Final Rule 

establishing that notice should be 

provided at least ten calendar days 

before the filing of an action, with 

certain exceptions, and setting forth a 

limited set of information which is to be 

provided with the notice (which 

substantially tracks the statutory 

language). The data will be received 

each time a State Official files an action 

to enforce Title X of the Dodd-Frank Act 

or a regulation promulgated thereunder, 

as described in the Interim Final Rule 

and the preamble to the Interim Final 

Rule. It will be collected by the Bureau 

(through electronic mail submissions), 

and specifically by the Office of 

Enforcement and the Executive 

Secretary, who will share it as necessary 

and appropriate within the Bureau and 

elsewhere in government, pursuant to 

the process set out in the Interim Final 

Rule. It will also be collected by the 

prudential regulators (through postal 

mail or electronic mail submissions) 

where relevant. Unless used as part of 

a legal proceeding in which the Bureau 

or other government agency is engaged, 

it is not expected that the information 

will be shared with the public, unless 

the information is already made public 

by the State Official providing the 

notice. 

As discussed, the information 

provided in the notice will be used by 

the Bureau (and prudential regulators, 

where relevant) to stay informed about 

the enforcement activities of State 

Officials enforcing Title X of the DoddFrank Act and to decide when and how, 

if at all, to react to such activities. 

Type of Review: Renewal. 

Affected Public: State or Local 

Governments. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: The information sent under the 

notice provisions of the Rule is 

primarily information which the State 

Officials providing the notice would 

have already collected and have 

available at the time notice is given. It 

is unlikely that compiling and sending 

the requested information would require 

more than thirty minutes of additional 

work. As this is a new area of law, at 

this time, it would be impossible to 

estimate the number of actions which 

State Officials will file pursuant to Title 

X the Dodd-Frank Act and, accordingly, 

the number of notices which the Bureau 

will receive. 

Dated: February 23, 2012. 

Chris Willey, 

Chief Information Officer, Consumer 

Financial Protection Bureau.

Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) Program; 

CFDA Number: 84.374A 

AGENCY: Office of Elementary and 

Secondary Education, Department of 

Education. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Assistant Secretary for 

Elementary and Secondary Education 

proposes priorities, requirements, 

definitions, and selection criteria under 

the TIF program. We may use one or 

more of these priorities, requirements, 

definitions, and selection criteria for 

competitions in fiscal year (FY) 2012 

and later years. We are taking this action 

so that TIF-funded performance-based 

compensation systems (PBCSs) will be 

successful and sustained mechanisms 

that contribute to continual 

improvement of instruction, to increases 

in teacher and principal effectiveness 

and, ultimately, to improvements in 

student achievement in high-need 

schools. To accomplish these goals, we 

propose priorities, requirements, 

definitions, and selection criteria that 

are designed to ensure that TIF grantees 

use high-quality LEA-wide evaluation 

and support systems that identify 

effective educators in order to improve 

instruction by informing performancebased compensation and other key 

human capital decisions.
