Regulation I applies to all depository
institutions lacking Federal deposit insurance. It requires the
disclosure of certain insurance-related information in periodic
statements, account records, locations where deposits are normally
received, and advertising. This part also requires such depository
institutions to obtain a written acknowledgment from depositors
regarding the institution’s lack of Federal deposit
insurance.
The Bureau of Consumer
Financial Protection (Bureau) respectfully requests emergency
processing and approval of the collection of information discussed
below because the use of normal clearance procedures would require
the Bureau to collect information contrary to the requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act for the length of the normal clearance
process. On December 16, 2011, the Bureau published an interim
final rule (IFR) republishing Regulation I and making technical and
conforming changes to reflect the transfer of authority and certain
other changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act (76 FR 78126 / RIN
3170-AA06). The IFR did not impose any new substantive obligations
on persons subject to the existing regulations. As the Bureau added
no new recordkeeping or reporting requirements, it adopted the PRA
analysis from the original regulation. Upon further review, the
Bureau has determined that the disclosures required by 12 CFR
1009.3 and 1009.4 and the signed acknowledgement required by 1009.5
are subject to the PRA and require OMB approval thereunder. The
Bureau has determined that it cannot reasonably comply with the
standard approval timelines because the use of normal clearance
procedures is reasonably likely to prevent the collection of
information and result in public harm. See 5 CFR 1320.13(a)(2); 44
U.S.C. § 3507(j). In addition to the 15 day emergency comment
period, upon receipt of emergency approval from the Office of
Management and Budget, the Bureau will begin a standard approval
process for this collection and will seek public input at that
time.
Since this is a new information
collection request, all of the burden is considered a program
change. On December 16, 2011, the Bureau published an interim final
rule (IFR) republishing Regulation I and making technical and
conforming changes to reflect the transfer of authority and certain
other changes made by the Dodd-Frank Act (76 FR 78126 / RIN
3170-AA06). The IFR did not impose any new substantive obligations
on persons subject to the existing regulations. As the Bureau added
no new recordkeeping or reporting requirements, it adopted the PRA
analysis from the original regulation. Upon further review, the
Bureau has since determined that the disclosures required by 12 CFR
1009.4 and signed acknowledgement required by 1009.5 are subject to
the PRA and require OMB approval thereunder.
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.
