    Abstract: Section 1042 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and

Bureau issue a rule establishing how states are to provide notice to 
the Bureau before taking action to enforce the Act (or, in emergency 
situations, immediately after taking such an action). In accordance 
with the requirements of the Act, the Bureau issued a final rule (12 
CFR 1082.1) establishing that notice should be provided at least 10 
days before the filing of an action, with certain exceptions, and 
setting forth a limited set of information which is to be provided with 
the notice.
    OMB's approval for this collection of information is scheduled to

information to be collected; and (d) Ways to minimize the burden of the
