    Estimated Number of Respondents: 142.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 23,000.
    Abstract: The Truth in Savings Act (TISA), 12 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. 
was enacted to enhance economic stability, improve competition between 
depository institutions, and strengthen consumer ability to make 
informed decisions regarding deposit accounts by requiring uniformity 
in the disclosure of interest rates and fees. Consumers rely on the 
disclosures required by TISA and Regulation DD to facilitate informed 
decision making regarding deposit accounts offered at depository 
institutions. Without this information, consumers would be severely 
hindered in their ability to assess the true costs and terms of the 
deposit accounts offered. Federal agencies and private litigants use 
the records to ascertain whether accurate and complete disclosures of 
depository accounts have been provided to consumers. This information 
also provides the primary evidence of law violations in TISA 
enforcement actions brought by the CFPB. Without the Regulation DD 
recordkeeping requirement, the CFPB's ability to enforce TISA would be 
significantly impaired.
    Request for Comments: The Bureau issued a 60-day Federal Register 
notice on May 14, 2013 (78 FR 28204). Comments were solicited and 
continue to be 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 Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) approval. All comments will become a matter of public 
record.

    Dated: July 26th, 2013.
Nellisha Ramdass,
Deputy Acting Chief Information Officer, Bureau of Consumer Financial 
Protection.
