SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

This request is for extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Section 4(d) of the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 

1531 et. seq.) requires the National 

Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to 

adopt such regulations as it ‘‘deems 

necessary and advisable to provide for 

the conservation of’’ threatened species. 

Those regulations may include any or 

all of the prohibitions provided in 

section 9(a)(1) of the ESA, which 

specifically prohibits ‘‘take’’ of any 

endangered species (‘‘take’’ includes 

actions that harass, harm, pursue, kill, 

or capture). The first salmonid species 

listed by NMFS as threatened were 

protected by virtually blanket 

application of the section 9 take 

prohibitions. There are now 23 separate 

Distinct Population Segments (DPS) of 

west coast salmonids listed as 

threatened, covering a large percentage 

of the land base in California, Oregon, 

Washington, and Idaho. NMFS is 

obligated to enact necessary and 

advisable protective regulations. NMFS 

makes section 9 prohibitions generally 

applicable to many of those threatened 

DPS, but also seeks to respond to 

requests from states and others to both 

provide more guidance on how to 

protect threatened salmonids and avoid 

take, and to limit the application of take 

prohibitions wherever warranted (see 70 

FR 37160, June 28, 2005, 71 FR 834, 

January 5, 2006, and 73 FR 55451, 

September 25, 2008). The regulations 

describe programs or circumstances that 

contribute to the conservation of, or are 

being conducted in a way that limits 

impacts on, listed salmonids. Because 

we have determined that such 

programs/circumstances adequately 

protect listed salmonids, the regulations 

do not apply the ‘‘take’’ prohibitions to 

them. Some of these limits on the take 

prohibitions entail voluntary 

submission of a plan to NMFS and/or 

annual or occasional reports by entities 

wishing to take advantage of these 

limits, or continue within them. 

The currently approved application 

and reporting requirements apply to 

Pacific marine and anadromous fish 

species.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Partnership with 

EVERFI to Study High School Students’ 

Estimation of College Costs. 

OMB Control Number: 3170–0048. 

Type of Review: Request for approval 

of a generic information collection 

under an existing Generic Information 

Collection Plan. 

Affected Public: Individuals. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

10,000. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 1,667. 

Abstract: The Bureau plans to engage 

in research under its authority to 

conduct research on ‘‘consumer 

awareness and understanding of costs, 

risks, and benefits of consumer financial 

products and service.’’ To this end, the 

Bureau plans to partner with EVERFI, 

Inc. (a provider of financial education 

services) to distribute a survey about 

student loans and the costs of attending 

college through their proprietary 

software. Previous research has 

indicated that students tend to err in 

estimating the costs of attending college 

and the costs of borrowing student loans 

that are used to attend college. This 

survey will ask questions to measure 

high school students’ expectations about 

college costs and the costs of borrowing 

student loans. The survey will then 

include a randomized experiment where 

some students are shown information 

about the average net costs of college, 

the cost of borrowing student loans, and 

the availability of certain income-driven 

repayment programs. Students will 

answer a battery of questions about their 

anticipated college attendance, major 

choice, and likelihood of borrowing 

student loans. The randomized 

experiment will measure the effect of 

the information treatments on the 

students’ reported postsecondary plans. 

Doing so will contribute to our 

understanding of providing certain 

pieces of information that may affect 

students’ postsecondary education 

plans. 

The survey will involve U.S. high 

school students as respondents. The 

CFPB will distribute the survey as an 

addendum to EVERFI, Inc.’s main 

survey of students that enroll in 

EVERFI’s Financing Higher Education, 

course. The CFPB survey will contain 

mostly questions about the respondents’ 

estimates of college costs, the cost of 

borrowing student loans, and the 

questions about their post-high school 

plans discussed above. The CFPB will 

also receive the responses to EVERFI’s 

main survey which includes 

demographic questions about the 

students as well as questions measuring 

their college enrollment intentions, 

preparations, and perceptions. 

Request for Comments: The Bureau is 

publishing this notice and soliciting 

comments 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 

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. Comments submitted in 

response to this notice will be submitted 

to OMB as part of its review of this 

request. All comments will become a 

matter of public record.
