SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title of Collection: Consumer Response Government and Congressional

    OMB Control Number: 3170-XXXX.
    Type of Review: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control 
Number).

    Abstract: The Consumer Financial Protection Act of 2010 (the 
``Act'') directs the Bureau to facilitate the coordinated collection, 
monitoring, and response to consumer complaints regarding certain 
financial products and services. The Act further provides for consumer 
complaint information sharing between the Bureau and State and Federal 
agencies (``Agencies'') and for consumer complaint sharing and 
reporting to Congress. To fulfill these mandates, the Bureau has 
developed separate portals for Agencies and Congressional users as part 
of its secure web portal offerings (the ``Government Portal'' and the 
``Congressional Portal,'' respectively).
    Through the portals, Agencies and Congressional offices can view 
consumer submitted complaint data in a user-friendly format that allows 
easy identification of complaints currently active in the Bureau's 
process, complaints referred to a prudential federal regulator and 
other closed/archived complaints. The portals include features for 
Agencies and Congressional offices to export selected complaint data 
and search by company, consumer name, consumer financial product and 
more. They also allow Agencies and Congressional offices to identify 
whether a named company has responded to a complaint and view the 
company closure response category.
    Request for Comments: The CFPB issued a 60-day Federal Register 
notice on June 25, 2015, (80 FR 36519). Comments were solicited and 
continue to be 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 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 approval. All comments will become a matter of public record.

    Dated: September 16, 2015.
Linda F. Powell,
Chief Data Officer, Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.
