SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title of Collection: Application Forms for Financial Empowerment 
Training Programs.
    OMB Control Number: 3170-0068.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Government social service entities, and not-for-
profit institutions.
    Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 275.

    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 two initiatives that target 
intermediary organizations and provide tools, training, technical 
assistance, and other services to help them reach low-income and 
economically vulnerable consumers to provide them the financial 
empowerment tools and information that they need, when they need it, 
where they are. These initiatives: (1) Your Money, Your Goals, and (2) 
Tax Time Savings both require the Bureau to engage organizations to 
participate in our financial empowerment initiatives. The proposed 
information collection request consists of application forms that will 
be used by community-based organizations, local, State, or Federal 
government entities, and national non-profit organizations to indicate 
their desire and ability to participate in OCA's various initiatives. 
Empowerment will use the information provided in these applications to 
select the best qualified organizations for participation.
    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.

    Dated: November 12, 2019.
