Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) establish a public opinion 
survey to measure and track consumer attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors 
as they navigate financial decisions. It will help the CFPB target its 
efforts and those of its partners to those areas that will have the 
most impact on both consumers and financial markets.
    Affected Public: Individuals and Households.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 2,500.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 20 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 833.
    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.
    The Bureau issued a 60-day Federal Register notice on March 28, 
2012 (77 FR 18795). Comments were solicited and continue to be invited 
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 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.
