he Interstate Land Sales Full
Disclosure Act (ILSA) requires, in relevant part, that land
developers register subdivisions of 100 or more non-exempt lots
with the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (the Bureau)
before selling or leasing the 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
Bureau to assure compliance with ILSA and the implementing
regulations. The Bureau also investigates developers who are not in
compliance with the regulations.

As previously reported in the
Bureau’s non-material change request submission, since the last
renewal of this collection in 2015, the Bureau has implemented a
web portal that allows electronic submission of many required
elements of this information collection, thus reducing compliance
burdens and costs. Based on experience with web portal use, the
Bureau has noted further burden reduction than what was originally
estimated when the portal first launched. Additionally, the Bureau
has adjusted the estimated number of annual responses to more
accurately reflect this estimate.
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;

(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
