On May 19, 2008, the Federal Reserve published a joint notice of proposed rulemaking (73 FR 28966) to implement the provisions in section 311 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT Act) of 2003, which amends the FCRA. As required by section 311, the agencies are proposing rules that generally require a creditor to provide a risk-based pricing notice to a consumer when the creditor uses a consumer report to grant or extend credit to the consumer on material terms that are materially less favorable than the most favorable terms available to a substantial proportion of consumers from or through that creditor. The proposed rules also provide for two alternative means by which creditors can determine when they are offering credit on material terms that are materially less favorable. The proposed rules also include certain exceptions to the general rule, including exceptions for creditors that provide a consumer with a disclosure of the consumerÂs credit score in conjunction with additional information that provides context for the credit score disclosure. The comment period for this notice expired on August 8, 2008. The agencies received 2 comments from industry groups that specifically addressed paperwork burden. On October ##, 2009, a joint notice of final rulemaking was published in the Federal Register adopting the amendments largely as proposed, with mandatory compliance by July 1, 2010 (74 FR #####).
