The CFPBs Regulation V and the Board’s
Regulation V (collectively FR V Regulations) implement in part the
Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which was enacted in 1970 based
on a Congressional finding that the banking system is dependent on
fair and accurate credit reporting. The FCRA was enacted to ensure
consumer reporting agencies exercise their responsibilities with
fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumer’s right to
privacy. The FCRA requires consumer reporting agencies to adopt
reasonable procedures that are fair and equitable to the consumer
with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper
utilization of consumer information. The Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act), enacted in
2010, transferred to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
(CFPB) most, but not all, of the rulemaking authority for issuing
regulations under the FCRA. The Board and other federal agencies
retained rulemaking responsibility for the FCRA provisions
regarding identity theft prevention programs and the duties of card
issuers to validate consumers’ changes of address (hereinafter,
identity theft red flags), as well as the disposal of consumer
information, with respect to the entities that are subject to each
agency’s respective enforcement authority. The Board and Federal
Trade Commission (FTC) also retained rulemaking authority for
certain provisions of the FCRA applicable to motor vehicle dealers.
The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) classifies reporting,
recordkeeping, or disclosure requirements of a regulation as an
information collection. The Board continues to be responsible for
renewing every three years the information collection requirements
contained in the CFPB’s Regulation V for institutions with $10
billion or less in assets that are identified in 15 U.S.C. §
1681s(b)(1)(A)(ii) and for consumers of these institutions, as well
as for the identity theft red flags provisions in the Board’s
Regulation V for institutions of any size that are identified in 15
U.S.C. § 1681s(b)(1)(A)(ii).
