SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title of Collection: Evaluation of Financial Empowerment Training 
Program.
    OMB Control Number: 3170-0067.
    Type of Review: Extension with revision of a currently approved 
collection.

    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.
