Regulation S-ID, and the information collection it requires, is designed to better protect consumers from the risks of identity theft. The regulation requires entities that are subject to the Commission's jurisdiction to address identity theft in two ways. First, the rules and guidelines require financial institutions and creditors to develop and implement a written identity theft prevention program designed to detect, prevent, and mitigate identity theft in connection with certain existing accounts or the opening of new accounts. Second, the rules establish special requirements for any credit and debit card issuers that are subject to the Commission's jurisdiction, to assess the validity of notifications of changes of address under certain circumstances.
US Code:

Name of Law: Fair Credit Reporting Act
PL: Pub.L. 111 - 203 1088(a)(8) Name of Law: Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act
This request transfers a PRA burden from another agency to the SEC. The SEC is issuing rules and guidelines to implement new statutory provisions enacted by Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. These provisions transfer identity theft and card issuer rulemaking responsibility and enforcement authority to the SEC with respect to entities under its jurisdiction. The rules and guidelines are substantially similar to those already adopted jointly by several agencies in 2007. SEC-regulated entities currently incur these burdens and will continue to do so regardless of whether the SEC adopts proposed Regulation S-ID.
