Regulation P implements the
requirements of GLBA to provide consumers with financial
institutions' privacy policies and practices, as well as describing
when the consumer's information may be shared with nonaffiliated
third parties, and provides a method for consumers to prevent
disclosure of their information to non-affiliated third parties by
"opting out" of that disclosure. Regulation P details the specifics
of how GLBA should be implemented, which companies and situations
this applies to, and the method of delivering the information to
consumers. Section 502 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) (Pub.
L. 106-102) generally prohibits a financial institution from
sharing nonpublic personal information about a consumer with
nonaffiliated third parties unless the institution satisfies
various disclosure requirements (including provision of initial
privacy notices, annual notices, notices of revisions to the
institution's privacy policy, and opt-out notices) and the consumer
has not elected to opt out of the information sharing. The Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) promulgated regulation P 12 CFR
1016 to implement the GLB Act's notice requirements and
restrictions on a financial institution's ability to disclose
nonpublic personal information about consumers to nonaffiliated
third parties.
Analysis by the Bureau of
previously stated burden shows that the initial total burden was
112,038 hours greater than previous stated. Thus, the Bureau is
adjusting the current burden to be (254,096 + 112,038) = 366,134
hours. The change in the number of respondents reflects an improved
methodology of calculation, and therefore the new requests should
be seen as a more accurate representation of the true effect of
Regulation P.
