complaint handling function. Among other things, the Bureau is to 
facilitate the centralized collection of, monitoring of, and response 
to complaints concerning consumer financial products and services. The 
support the appropriate routing of complaints to the companies that are 
the subjects of the complaints, the Bureau is developing a form which 
will allow companies to proactively participate in the Bureau's Company 
Portal (Company Portal), a secure, Web-based interface between the 
Bureau's Office of Consumer Response (Consumer Response) and companies. 
The Company Portal allows companies to view and respond to complaints 
submitted through the Bureau's complaint handling system. Many 
companies have sought to register with the Company Portal before 
consumer complaints have been submitted to the Bureau about their 
companies to ensure early notice of potential complaints and allow 
companies' users to acclimate to the software and security protocols 
needed to access the Company Portal. The Bureau's proposed form, the 
Company Portal Boarding Form (Boarding Form), will serve to streamline 
information collection from these companies, result in a greatly 
enhanced and efficient experience from both the consumers and 
companies' perspectives.

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 summarized and/or included in the request for Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval. All comments will become a matter 
of public record.
