Regulation E requires accurate
disclosure of the costs, terms, and rights relating to electronic
fund transfer services to consumers. It also requires financial
institutions to retain records sufficient to show compliance with
the Regulation. Because the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") has
shared enforcement jurisdiction for this regulation with the
Consumer Financial Protection Board ("CFPB") under the Dodd-Frank
Act, the CFPB has incorporated into its burden estimates for this
regulation, net of an estimate covering motor vehicle dealers
(which the FTC is fully assuming within its own burden estimates),
half of the residual portion of the FTC's pre-existing, cleared
burden hour estimate for this regulation. This clearance renewal
request reflects these considerations in addition to updating the
FTC estimates for declining market conditions.
The increase reflects the net
of continued burden splitting for shared enforcement authority with
the CFPB paired with increased estimates largely attributable to
substantial increases in transaction volume for remittance
transfers.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
