SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Application Forms for Financial Empowerment
Training Programs.
OMB Control Number: 3170-0068.

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.
