Abstract: The Bureau's Office of Community Affairs (OCA) is
responsible for developing strategies to improve the financial
capability of low-income and economically vulnerable consumers, such as
consumers who are unbanked or underbanked, those with thin or no credit
file, and households with limited savings. To address the needs of
these consumers, OCA has developed Your Money, Your Goals, a suite of
financial empowerment materials with an accompanying training program.
These resources equip frontline staff and volunteers in a range of
organizations to provide relevant and effective information, tools, and
resources designed to improve the financial outcomes and capability of
these vulnerable consumers. The Bureau seeks to renew approval of the
information collection plan titled, ``Evaluation of Financial
Empowerment Training Program,'' in order to collect qualitative data
related to evaluating the effectiveness of the Your Money, Your Goals
training program. The proposed collections will focus on (1) evaluating
Your Money, Your Goals training practices in enhancing the ability of
frontline staff and volunteers to inform and educate low-income
consumers about managing their finances; and (2) assessing the extent
of workshop participants' execution of follow-on trainings, designed to
share Your Money, Your Goals tools and resources with other frontline
staff and volunteers, so they can use them with the people they serve.
The Bureau expects to collect qualitative data through paper-based and
web-based surveys.
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.
