The Interstate Land Sales Full
Disclosure Act (ILSA) requires land developers to register
non-exempt subdivisions with the Bureau of Consumer Financial
Protection (CFPB) before selling any lots, and to provide each lot
purchaser with a disclosure document designated as a property
report, 15 U.S.C. 1703-1704. ILSA was enacted in response to a
nation-wide proliferation of developers of unimproved subdivisions
who made elaborate, and often fraudulent, claims about their land
to unsuspecting lot purchasers. Information is submitted to the
CFPB to assure compliance with ILSA and the implementing
regulations. The CFPB also investigates developers who are not in
compliance with the regulations.

Program Changes: The changes in
the number of respondents and the number of annual responses are
primarily a result of a new legislation partially exempting
condominiums from ILSA (15 U.S.C. 1702). Specifically, we have
determined that the exemption will remove 788 respondents from out
respondent pools, and the remaining respondents, owing to the
nature of their business, will have fewer annual responses per
year. Therefore, whereas we previously estimated that each
respondent would respond an average of 90 times a year, we now
estimate that the number of responses per respondent will overage
only 34 per year. This change has also resulted in an estimated
reduction of 14,184 annual burden hours. Adjustments: The changes
in burden hours and cost burden are also a result of an improved
methodology of calculating costs. Whereas we had previously
estimated an average response time of 12 minutes per response, our
analysis leads us to estimate that the actual time burden is closer
to 1 hour per response. In addition we have identified cost burdens
for responding to these information collections that were not
previously accounted for that average $14 per response. Further,
historical submissions for this collection inaccurately included
burden hour costs which have been previously removed. The new
requests should be seen as a more accurate representation of the
true costs of this regulation going forward.
