The Bureau's regulation at 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, to set forth requirements for preventing such acts or practices, and to provide certain partial conditional exemptions from aspects of this rule. This rule also contains requirements to ensure that the features of those consumer credit transactions are fully, accurately, and effectively disclosed to consumers.
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 Final Rule (RIN 3170-AA80) would substantially reduce the burdens associated with the current rule for 12 CFR part 1041 for which an information collection request is currently still pending at OMB under OMB number 3170-0065. This final 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 the 2017 Final 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.
