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 increase in burden hours is
due to an increase in responses as calculated with more recent
data. The decrease in burden cost is due to an increase in
electronic banking and the associated reduction in disclosure costs
with online disclosures.
