The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), enacted in 2010,
transferred to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau)
most, but not all, of the rulemaking authority for issuing
regulations under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The Board
and other federal agencies retained rulemaking responsibility for
the FCRA provisions regarding identity theft prevention programs
and the duties of card issuers to validate consumers’ changes of
address (hereinafter, “identity theft red flags”), as well as the
disposal of consumer information, with respect to the entities that
are subject to each agency’s respective enforcement authority. The
Board and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) also retained rulemaking
authority for certain provisions of the FCRA applicable to motor
vehicle dealers. The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) classifies
reporting, recordkeeping, or disclosure requirements of a
regulation as an information collection. The Board continues to be
responsible for renewing every three years the information
collection requirements contained in the Bureau’s FCRA regulations
for institutions with $10 billion or less in assets that are
identified in 15 U.S.C. § 1681s(b)(1)(A)(ii) and for consumers of
these institutions, as well as for prescribing and enforcing the
identity theft red flags provisions in the Board’s FCRA regulations
for institutions of any size that are identified in 15 U.S.C. §
1681s(b)(1)(A)(ii).
