3 In addition to the boarding forms for 

congressional and government users, the Bureau 

utilizes a separate OMB-approved form to board 

companies onto their own distinct portal to access 

complaints submitted against them, through OMB 

Control Number 3170–0054 (Consumer Complaint 

Intake System Company Portal Boarding Form 

Information Collection System).

Dodd-Frank Act, section 1034 (discussing responses 

to consumer complaints), codified at 12 U.S.C. 

5534; section 1021(c)(2) (noting that one of the 

Bureau’s primary functions is ‘‘collecting, 

investigating, and responding to consumer 

complaints’’), codified at 12 U.S.C. 5511(c)(2). 

2 In addition to the Boarding Form for companies, 

the Bureau utilizes separate OMB-approved forms 

to board government agencies and congressional 

offices onto their own distinct portals to access 

certain complaint information through OMB 

Control Number 3170–0057 (Consumer Response 

Government and Congressional Boarding Forms;

Portal’’ and the ‘‘Congressional Portal,’’ 

respectively).3

Through the Government Portal, 

government users can view consumer 

complaint information in a user-friendly 

format that allows easy review of 

complaints currently active in the 

Bureau process, complaints referred to a 

prudential Federal regulator, and other 

closed/archived complaints. 

Through the Congressional Portal, 

members of Congress and authorized 

congressional office staff can view data 

associated with consumer complaints 

they submit on behalf of their 

constituents with the consumer’s 

express written authorization for the 

release of their personal information. 

The Congressional Portal only displays 

information about complaints submitted 

by the individual congressional office. 

This is a routine request for OMB to 

extend its approval of the information 

collection currently approved under this 

OMB control number. For this renewal, 

the Bureau has updated the Privacy Act 

Statement to the form and is not 

proposing any other revised updates to 

the collection. 

Request for Comments: Comments are 

invited on: (a) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Bureau, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) The accuracy of the Bureau’s 

estimate of the burden of the collection 

of information, including the validity of 

the methods and the assumptions used; 

(c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including through the 

use of automated collection techniques 

or other forms of information 

technology. Comments submitted in 

response to this notice will be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Consumer 

Complaint Intake System Company 

Portal Boarding Form. 

OMB Control Number: 3170–0054. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Affected Public: Private sector. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

400. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 85. 

Abstract: Section 1013(b)(3)(A) of the 

Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 

Consumer Protection Act, Public Law 

111–203, requires the Bureau to 

‘‘facilitate the centralized collection of, 

monitoring of, and response to 

consumer complaints regarding 

consumer financial products or 

services.’’ 1 In furtherance of its 

statutory mandates related to consumer 

complaints, the Bureau utilizes a 

Consumer Complaint Intake System 

Company Portal Boarding Form 

(Boarding Form) to sign up companies 

for access to the secure, web-based 

Company Portal (Company Portal). The 

Company Portal allows companies to 

view and respond to complaints 

submitted to the Bureau, supports the 

efficient routing of consumer 

complaints to companies, and enables a 

timely and secure response by 

companies to the Bureau and 

consumers.2

This is a routine request for OMB to 

extend its approval of the information 

collection currently approved under 

OMB Control Number 3170–0054. For 

this extension, the Bureau is proposing 

to decrease the annual number of 

unboarded companies who will 

complete this form for the first time 

from 550 to 400. The Bureau is also 

updating the Privacy Act Statement on 

the form. 

Request for Comments: Comments are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CPSC is 

hosting a technical forum to collect 

information on the TE, certification, and 

product specification efforts associated 

with products employing AI/ML-related 

technologies.1 The information 

collected from the forum will assist staff 

in making recommendations for 

improving TE capabilities associated 

with the safety of consumer products. 

I. Background 

With the growing use of AI/MLrelated technologies to increase 

capabilities and mitigate potential 

harms, assessing the functionality and 

reliability of these technologies is 

important to ensure they do not present 

unreasonable risks of injury associated 

with consumer products. Methods for 

testing and evaluating AI/ML-related 

technologies are important in 

determining whether these capabilities 

contribute to creating an unreasonable 

risk of injury to consumers. 

As AI/ML-related technologies 

dramatically change the nature of 

consumer products, their abilities to act 

and react automatically, and, in some 

cases, to learn and evolve, have brought 

to the forefront significant concerns for 

potential impacts to product safety. The 

inherent learning abilities of some ML 

presents unique product testing 

challenges. CPSC seeks to understand 

existing and future testing capabilities 

for evaluating AI/ML-related 

components, such as sensors, data, 

software, networks, and related 

hardware, as well as their integration for 

AI/ML-enabled products. CPSC seeks 

information on foreseeable interactions 

between these components and features 

with users and the environment in 

addition to information on testing how 

these features and components 

contribute to machine learning-based 

evolution of products. 

II. Forum Topics 

Manufacturers and test laboratories 

may already employ in-product 

development testing and evaluation 

capabilities to ensure safety is built into 

products with AI/ML-related 

technologies. There may also be test 

capabilities used to evaluate changes to 

products after purchase, to monitor and 

measure the potential impact on 

consumers, given the evolution of AI/ 

ML-related technologies within 

products. These evaluations may or may 

not use existing standards, which are 

evolving, but they are needed to 

determine whether AI/ML-related 

technologies are to contribute to 

consumer product hazards throughout 

their lifecycle and to inform standard 

development. This forum will focus on 

existing testing and evaluation 

capabilities and the need to establish an 

adequate methodology to determine if 

AI/ML-related technologies contribute 

to an unreasonable risk that could injure 

consumers. It will explore existing and 

future testing and evaluation 

capabilities related to the following four 

topics: 

• Components: Identify and test 

components of AI in isolation, including 

sensors/data, algorithms, connectivity 

(including communications and 

actuation), and computational 

capabilities. 

• Products: Evaluate AI-enabled 

consumer products as a system, by 

monitoring, measuring, and modeling 

their characteristics. 

• Assessment: Leverage current riskassessment methodologies to identify 

the potential for AI and ML to 

contribute to an unreasonable risk of 

harm in consumer products. 

• SYNOPSIS and Q&A: Round-table 

discussion with subject matter experts 

interacting with the participants 

regarding the previously presented 

panels. 

III. Forum Details 

A. Forum Time and Place 

CPSC staff will hold the forum via 

webinar from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., EST on 

Thursday, March 31, 2022.
