Consumers rely on the disclosures
required by The Truth in Savings Act (TISA) and Regulation DD to
facilitate informed decision-making regarding deposit accounts
offered at depository institutions. Without this information,
consumers would be severely hindered in their ability to assess the
true costs and terms of the deposit accounts offered. Federal
agencies and private litigants use the records to ascertain whether
accurate and complete disclosures of depository accounts have been
provided to consumers. This information also provides the primary
evidence of law violations in TISA enforcement actions brought by
the CFPB. Without the Regulation DD recordkeeping requirement, the
CFPB's ability to enforce TISA would be significantly
impaired.

The increases in burden and
costs are the result of an improved methodology of calculating
these measures as opposed to any regulation change, and therefore
the new requests should be seen as a more accurate representation
of the true costs and burdens of Regulation DD.
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
