SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Making Ends Meet 

Survey. 

OMB Control Number: 3170–0066. 

Type of Review: Request for approval 

of a generic information collection 

under an existing Generic Information 

Collection Plan. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

4,200. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 1,400. 

Abstract: Under the Dodd-Frank Wall 

Street Reform and Consumer Protection 

Act, the Consumer Financial Protection 

Bureau is charged with researching, 

analyzing, and reporting on topics 

relating to the Bureau’s mission, 

including consumer behavior, consumer 

awareness, and developments in 

markets for consumer financial products 

and services. To improve its 

understanding of how consumers 

engage with financial markets, the 

Bureau has successfully used the 

Consumer Credit Panel (CCP), a 

proprietary sample dataset from one of 

the national credit reporting agencies, as 

a frame to survey people about their 

experiences in consumer credit markets. 

The Bureau seeks to obtain approval for 

an additional round of the ‘‘Making 

Ends Meet’’ survey. This series of 

surveys solicits information on the 

consumer’s experience related to 

household financial shocks, particularly 

shocks related to the economic effects of 

the COVID–19 pandemic, how 

households respond to those shocks, 

and the role of savings to help provide 

a financial buffer. Additional topics in 

this round of the survey include debt 

collection, healthcare, housing, and 

financial decision-making, attitudes, 

and perspectives. The survey will go to 

a new random sample of consumers 

from the CCP. All research under this 

collection will be related to the 

household balance sheet, and, thus, will 

be for general, formative, and 

informational research on consumer 

financial markets and consumers’ use of 

financial products and will not directly 

provide the basis for specific 

policymaking at the Bureau. 

Request for Comments: The Bureau is 

publishing this notice and soliciting 

comments directed to the Office of 

management and Budget 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 reviewed by OMB as part 

of its review of this request. All 

comments will become a matter of 

public record. 

Special Request for Comments: The 

proposed survey contains more 

questions than the Bureau intends to 

mail, the Bureau solicits comments on 

which questions provide the most value. 

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. 

Dated: June 29, 2021.
