Regulation P (12 CFR part 1016)
requires credit unions to disclose its privacy policies to
customers as well as offer customers a reasonable opportunity to
opt out-in whole or in part-of those policies to further restrict
the release of their personal financial information to
nonaffiliated third parties. Credit unions are required to provide
an initial privacy notice to customers that is clear and
conspicuous, an annual notice of the privacy policies and practices
of the institution, a revised notice to customers if triggered by
specific changes to the existing policy, and a notice of the right
of the customer to opt out of the institution’s information sharing
practices. Consumers who choose to exercise their opt-out right
document this choice by returning an opt-out form or other
permissible method. This information collection is needed to
evidence compliance with title V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act.
Burden adjustments due to (1)
the number of regulated entities has decreased; (2) the 73
respondents should have provided a clear and conspicuous notice to
customers and consumers that accurately reflect its privacy
policies and practices. The estimated number of respondents has
been reduced from 73 to 11 (the estimated number of new credit
unions that need to provide the initial notice); (3) the NCUA
believes the FAST Act amendment providing an exception to the
annual privacy notice requirement results in reduced burden under
Regulation P. Therefore, the estimated number of respondents
providing the annual or revised private notice, and the opt-out
notice to consumers, has been reduced, and (4) the NCUA believes
the time to comply with the initial privacy notice has decreased
due to technological advances. These adjustment reduced the burden
by 2,980 for a total of 383,124 burden hours requested.
