Office of Intergovernmental Affairs Outreach Activities.
    OMB Control Number: 3170-0041.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approve 
collection.

    Abstract: The Office of Intergovernmental Affairs (IGA) at the 
Bureau requests OMB's approval for an extension without change this 
generic information collection plan (GICP) in order to collect 
information from state, local, and tribal governments. These 
governments interact closely with consumers and are critical partners 
in promoting transparency and competition in the consumer financial 
products marketplace, eliminating unfair and unlawfully discriminatory 
practices, and enforcing consumer financial laws. The outreach 
activities performed by IGA will collect low-burden, non-generalizable 
information through this GICP on trends in consumer financial markets, 
enforcement actions, regulatory and supervisory issues, and consumer 
needs at the state, local, and tribal levels. Most of this information 
will be in the form of government representatives providing impressions 
and overviews of their activities. Information will be collected on an 
occasional and voluntary basis from state, local, and tribal 
governments and from their respective trade associations.
    Request For Comments: Comments are 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 OMB 
approval. All comments will become a matter of public record.
