Abstract: Section 502 of the GrammLeach-Bliley Act (GLBA) (Pub. L. 106–
102) generally prohibits a financial
institution from sharing nonpublic
personal information about a consumer
with nonaffiliated third parties unless
the institution satisfies various
disclosure requirements (e.g., provision
of initial privacy notices, annual
notices, notices of revisions to the
institution’s privacy policy and opt-out
notices) and the consumer has not
elected to opt out of the information
sharing. The Bureau promulgated

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Equal Credit
Opportunity Act (Regulation B).
OMB Control Number: 3170–0013.
Type of review: Extension of a
currently approved information
collection.
Affected Public: Private sector:
businesses or other for-profits.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
188,800.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 1,259,448.
Abstract: The Equal Credit
Opportunity Act (ECOA) was enacted to
ensure that credit is made available to
all creditworthy applicants without
discrimination on the basis of sex,
marital status, race, color, religion,
national origin, age, or other prohibited
bases under the ECOA. The ECOA
allows for creditors to collect
information for self-testing against these
criteria, while not allowing creditors to
use this information in making credit
decisions of applicants. For certain
mortgage applications, the ECOA
requires creditors to ask for some of the
prohibited information for monitoring
purposes. Additionally, for certain
mortgage applications, creditors are
required to send a copy of any appraisal
or written valuation used in the
application process to the applicant in
a timely fashion.
The ECOA also prescribes creditors
must inform applicants of decisions
made on credit applications.
Particularly where creditors make
adverse actions on credit applications or
existing accounts, creditors must inform
consumers as to why the adverse action
was taken such that credit applicants
can challenge errors or learn how to
become more creditworthy. Creditors
must retain all application information
for 25 months including notices that
they sent, and any information related
to adverse actions. The ECOA requires
creditors who furnish applicant
information to a consumer reporting
agency to reflect participation of the
applicant’s spouse if the spouse is
permitted to use or is contractually
liable on the account.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Full Text of Announcement
I. Funding Opportunity Description
Purpose of Program: The purpose of
this program is to promote
postsecondary completion for students
close to completion, whether for
students currently enrolled in higher
education, students who are no longer
enrolled because of challenges they
faced during the COVID–19 pandemic
and close to completion, or both.
Institutions may opt to supplement or
expand evidence-based and data-driven
activities to support retention and
completion for both groups. This
program aims to improve student
outcomes, including retention, transfer,
credit accumulation, and completion, by
augmenting evidence-based activities
that are already underway at eligible
institutions of higher education (IHEs).
Background: The Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2022 appropriated
$76 million for Fund for the
Improvement of Postsecondary
Education (FIPSE) competitive programs
and, within this total, the Joint
Explanatory Statement designated $5
million for Postsecondary Student
Success Grants ‘‘to support evidencebased activities to improve
postsecondary retention and completion
rates.’’ The Department intends to focus
this grant program on data-driven and
evidence-based efforts to support
Historically Black Colleges and
Universities, Tribal Colleges and
Universities, Hispanic-Serving
Institutions, other Minority-Serving
Institutions, and institutions serving
large shares of low-income students, to
improve existing retention and
completion efforts and support students
on the path to college completion.
Nationally, the U.S. Census Bureau
reports that nearly one in five
Americans has some college education
but no degree.1 Fewer than two in three
students pursuing a bachelor’s degree

complete their degree within 6 years,
and only about one in three students at
2-year institutions graduates within 150
percent of the expected time to
completion. Completion rates are lower
for Black, Hispanic, Pacific Islander,
and American Indian/Alaska Native
students.2
The pandemic has further exacerbated
some of the college completion
challenges that students face. As
colleges pivoted to online instruction
and students faced unprecedented and
simultaneous health, family, and
employment challenges, an estimated 1
million students left school. Many still
have not returned.3 Community colleges
have seen the largest declines in
enrollment. Leaving school before
earning a credential may have
particularly significant consequences for
students who leave school with debt;
such borrowers are far more likely to
default on their student loans, even
when their balances are low.4
Many institutions have engaged in
institutional reform efforts or
implemented evidence-based activities
that helped to improve their students’
rates of completion. For instance,
corequisite remediation programs have
helped students to stay enrolled and on
track for completion by allowing them
to earn credit while completing
developmental education courses.5
Robust academic advising efforts have
helped students to establish clear
pathways for their degree completion,
cutting down on unnecessary
coursework, encouraging the
completion of academic coursework and
the accumulation of credits, and
ensuring students return to school.6
Initiatives and programs like the
‘‘Degrees When Due’’ reverse-transfer
initiative 7 have helped many
institutions of higher education (IHEs)
not only to retain students, but also to
