Abstract: Since 2011, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has been responsible for issuing Consumer Leasing Act (CLA) regulations that apply to depository institutions and other lessors. However, the Board continues to be responsible under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) for renewing every three years the information collections mandated by the CFPB’s regulation for institutions supervised by the Board. The CLA and Regulation M are intended to provide consumers with meaningful disclosures about the costs and terms of leases for personal property. The disclosures enable consumers to compare the terms for a particular lease with those for other leases and, when appropriate, to compare lease terms with those for credit transactions. The CLA and Regulation M also contain rules about advertising consumer leases and limit the size of balloon payments in consumer lease transactions.
