12 CFR 1041 applies to non-depository
institutions and loan brokers engaged in consumer lending, credit
intermediation activities, or activities related to credit
intermediation, along with banks and credit unions that make loans
that are subject to the rule. The purpose of this rule is to
identify certain unfair and abusive acts or practices in connection
with certain consumer credit transactions and to set forth
requirements for preventing such acts or practices (See 12 U.S.C.
5531). It prescribes requirements to ensure that the features of
those consumer credit transactions are fully, accurately, and
effectively disclosed to consumers. This information collection
request pertains to changes proposed in the Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking under RIN 3170-AA80.
US Code:
12
USC 5481 Name of Law: Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act
Since this is a new information
collection request associated with a new rulemaking, all the burden
considered in this request is considered to be a program change.
However this Proposed Rule (RIN 3170-AA80) would substantially
reduce the burdens associated with the current rule for 12 CFR 1041
for which an information collection request is currently still
pending at OMB under OMB number 3170-0065. The proposed rule could
result in a burden reduction of 5, 010,232 hours (from 8,199,819 to
3,189,587) and 89,656,332 cost burden (from $100,844,367 to
$11,188,035) from what the Bureau estimated for the burdens
associated with current rule.
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.
