SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: Sample Form 

Usability Research and Communication 

Testing. 

OMB Control Number: 3170–0022. 

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: 

268. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 153. 

Abstract: In connection with the 

rulemaking required to implement 

section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act, the 

CFPB will be developing a sample form 

for collecting the demographic data 

required for collection by the statute. 

This form is intended to show one 

example of a form that lenders, to 

facilitate their compliance with the 

statute, might provide to their small 

business customers. As contemplated by 

the statute, those small business 

customers will be able to choose the 

extent to which they complete the 

sample form or any other form 

presented to those customers by the 

lenders. The CFPB believes that the 

purposes of the statute will be furthered 

to the extent small business owners 

understand the purpose and nature of 

the statutorily-required demographic 

data collection. 

We intend to conduct qualitative 

research to learn more about potential 

concerns that small business owners 

may have about providing demographic 

data to lenders while applying for 

business credit, including audience 

research with small business owners to 

assess their knowledge and 

understanding of the upcoming 1071 

rule, as well as concerns that may 

impact their willingness to complete a 

form of this type. There are two 

purposes for this research: 

• The Sample Form Usability 

Research is intended to identify possible 

concerns or issues small business 

owners may have with submitting 

demographic data via sample forms and 

explore possible approaches to form 

design and language that might bear on 

willingness to provide the data. 

• The Communication Testing 

Research is intended to identify small 

business owners’ knowledge and 

understanding of the upcoming 1071 

rule as well as concerns that may impact 

their willingness to complete a form of 

this type. It will help develop 

implementation materials to facilitate 

lenders’ compliance with the statutory 

requirements. 

Request for Comments: The Bureau is 

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. 

Anthony May, 

Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Consumer 

Financial Protection Bureau.
