FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
ACTION: Notice and request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995,
the FTC is seeking public comments on its request to OMB for a three-
year extension of the current PRA clearance for the information
collection requirements contained in the Prescreen Opt-Out Notice Rule
(``Prescreen Opt-Out Rule'' or ``Rule''), which applies to certain
motor vehicle dealers, and its shared enforcement with the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau (``CFPB'') of the provisions (subpart F) of
the CFPB's Regulation V regarding other entities (``CFPB Rule''). This
clearance expires on October 31, 2016.
DATES: Comments must be received by October 26, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties may file a comment online or on paper by
following the instructions in the Request for Comments part of the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below. Write ``Prescreen Opt-Out
Notice Rule: FTC File No. P075417'' on your comment, and file your
comment online at https://ftcpublic.commentworks.com/ftc/prescreenoptoutpra2 by following the instructions on the web-based
form. If you prefer to file your comment on paper, mail or deliver your
comment to the following address: Federal Trade Commission, Office of
the Secretary, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Suite CC-5610 (Annex J),
Washington, DC 20580, or deliver your comment to the following address:
Federal Trade Commission, Office of the Secretary, Constitution Center,
400 7th Street SW., 5th Floor, Suite 5610 (Annex J), Washington, DC

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for copies of the collection

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 25, 2016, the FTC sought public
comment on the information collection requirements associated with the
Prescreen Opt-Out Rule, 16 CFR part 642, the shared enforcement with
the CFPB of the provisions (subpart F) of the CFPB's Regulation V,
regarding other entities (``CFPB Rule''), and the FTC's associated PRA
burden analysis.\1\ No comments were received. Pursuant to the OMB
regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, that implement the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq., the FTC is providing this second opportunity for public comment
while seeking OMB approval to renew the pre-existing clearance for the
Rule. All comments should be filed as prescribed herein, and must be
received on or before October 26, 2016.

Comments on the information collection requirements subject to
review under the PRA should additionally be submitted to OMB. If sent
by U.S. mail, they should be addressed to Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Attention: Desk
Officer for the Federal Trade Commission, New Executive Office
Building, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW., Washington,
DC 20503. Comments sent to OMB by U.S. postal mail, however, are
subject to delays due to heightened security precautions. Thus,
comments instead should be sent by facsimile to (202) 395-5167.
Burden Statement
The FTC is seeking clearance for its assumed share of the estimated
PRA burden regarding the disclosure requirements under the FTC and CFPB
Rules. The FTC's assumed share of estimated PRA burden, explained in
the May 25, 2016 Notice, is 998 annual hours and $249,500 in annual
labor costs, with the added assumption that capital and other non-labor
costs should be minimal, at most, since the Rule has been in effect
several years, with covered entities now equipped to provide the
required notice.
Request for Comment
You can file a comment online or on paper. For the Commission to
consider your comment, we must receive it on or before October 26,
2016. Write ``Prescreen Opt-Out Notice Rule: FTC File No. P075417'' on
your comment. Your comment--including your name and your state--will be
placed on the
[[Page 66023]]
public record of this proceeding, including, to the extent practicable,
on the public Commission Web site, at http://www.ftc.gov/os/publiccomments.shtm. As a matter of discretion, the Commission tries to
remove individuals' home contact information from comments before
placing them on the Commission Web site.
Because your comment will be made public, you are solely
responsible for making sure that your comment does not include any
sensitive personal information, such as anyone's Social Security
number, date of birth, driver's license number or other state
identification number or foreign country equivalent, passport number,
financial account number, or credit or debit card number. You are also
solely responsible for making sure that your comment does not include
any sensitive health information, like medical records or other
individually identifiable health information. In addition, do not
include any ``[t]rade secret or any commercial or financial information
which is . . . privileged or confidential,'' as discussed in Section
6(f) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 46(f), and FTC Rule 4.10(a)(2), 16 CFR
4.10(a)(2). In particular, do not include competitively sensitive
information such as costs, sales statistics, inventories, formulas,
patterns, devices, manufacturing processes, or customer names.
If you want the Commission to give your comment confidential
treatment, you must file it in paper form, with a request for
confidential treatment, and you are required to follow the procedure
explained in FTC Rule 4.9(c), 16 CFR 4.9(c). Your comment will be kept
confidential only if the FTC General Counsel, in his or her sole
discretion, grants your request in accordance with the law and the
public interest.
Postal mail addressed to the Commission is subject to delay due to
heightened security screening. As a result, we encourage you to submit
your comment online, or to send it to the Commission by courier or
overnight service. To make sure that the Commission considers your
online comment, you must file it at https://ftcpublic.commentworks.com/ftc/prescreenoptoutpra2, by following the instructions on the web-based
form. If this Notice appears at http://www.regulations.gov, you also
