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.

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.
