The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is requesting to renew the Office of Management and Budget approval for an existing information collection entitled "Application Forms for Financial Empowerment Training Programs." According to the CFPB's notice, 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 nonprofit organizations to indicate their desire and ability to participate in various initiatives of the Bureau's Office of Community Affairs, which is responsible for developing strategies to improve the financial capability of low-income and economically vulnerable consumers.
On Nov. 15, 2019, the CFPB issued a 60-day notice requesting comments on the proposal. Written comments on the current notice must be received by March 11, 2020, and will be reviewed by the OMB as part of its review of this request.
