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 Bureauâs 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.
