The Bureau seeks to obtain approval of a generic information collection 
plan to collect qualitative data on effective financial education 
strategies and consumer experiences in the financial marketplace from a 
variety of respondents, including financial educators and consumers. 
The Bureau will collect this information through a variety of methods, 
including in-person meetings, interviews, focus groups, qualitative 
surveys, online discussion forums, social media polls, and other 
qualitative methods as necessary. The information collected through 
these processes will increase the Bureau's understanding of consumers' 
financial experiences, financial education and empowerment programs, 
and practices that can improve financial decision-making skills and 
outcomes for consumers. This information will also enable the Bureau to 
better communicate to consumers about the availability of Bureau tools

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.
