SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

[[Page 3349]]

    Title of Collection: Fair Credit Reporting Act (Regulation V) 12 
CFR Part 1022.
    OMB Control Number: 3170-0002.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection.
    Affected Public: Private sector.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 155.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Bureau allocated half of the Federal Trade Commission 
(FTC) burden amount after subtracting the burden which the FTC has 
attributed to itself for motor vehicle dealers. Section 1029 of the 
Dodd-Frank Act exempts certain motor vehicle dealers from the 
Bureau's enforcement authority. However, due to the difficulty of 
making a reliable estimate of those dealers, the FTC has attributed 
to itself the PRA burden for all motor vehicle dealers. This 
attribution does not change the actual enforcement authority of 
either the FTC or the CFPB.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 4,156,000.
    Abstract: The consumer disclosures included in Regulation V are 
designed to alert consumers that a financial institution furnished 
negative information about them to a consumer reporting agency, that 
they have a right to opt out of receiving marketing materials and 
credit or insurance offers, that their credit report was used in 
setting the material terms of credit that may be less favorable than 
the terms offered to consumers with better credit histories, that they 
maintain certain rights with respect to a theft of their identity that 
they reported to a consumer reporting agency, that they maintain rights 
with respect to knowing what is in their consumer reporting agency 
file, that they can request a free credit report, and that they can 
report a theft of their identity to the CFPB. Consumers then can use 
the information provided to consider how and when to check and use 
their credit reports.
    Request for Comments: The Bureau issued a 60-day Federal Register 
notice on July 25, 2013 [78 FR 44930]. 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: January 14, 2014.
