SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: The Effect of Different Savings Elicitation
Strategies on Emergency Savings Targets.
OMB Control Number: 3170-0048.
Type of Review: Request for approval of a generic information
collection under an existing Generic Information Collection Plan.
Affected Public: Individuals.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 6,000.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 3,000.
Abstract: This project examines how the framing of savings plans
can help consumers establish emergency savings. The Bureau plans to
test whether asking consumers to think about opportunity costs for
their money helps them save more effectively for emergencies. Our
findings can inform Bureau-developed content aimed at helping Americans
be better prepared for emergencies. The Bureau will conduct several
studies as part of this project asking participants about their savings
goals. Each study will involve unique participants. We expect to
recruit about 6,000 participants across the life of the project. The
Bureau will not receive any personally identifying information (PII).
Any PII will be scrubbed by the contractor. We will collect
demographics, psychological measures around savings, and consumers''
savings goals.
Request for Comments: The Bureau is publishing this notice and
soliciting comments 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
submitted to OMB as part of its review of this
