informed decisions about accounts at depository
institutions.

USC 4308 Name of Law: Truth in Savings Act
On May 19, 2008, a notice of
proposed rulemaking was published in the Federal Register for
public comment (73 FR 28739). The proposed amendments would set
forth content and timing requirements for a notice to consumers
about any right to opt out of an institutions overdraft service.
Requirements for disclosing overdraft fees on periodic statements
would be extended to apply to all institutions and not solely to
institutions that promote the payment of overdrafts. In addition,
the proposed amendments would require institutions that provide
balance information in response to a balance inquiry by the
consumer, to only include the consumers own funds, and not any
funds added through the institutions overdraft service. The
comment period expired July 18, 2008. The Federal Reserve received
over 700 comments from consumers, consumer advocates, federal and
state regulators and officials, large financial institutions,
credit unions, community banks, industry trade associations,
members of Congress, core systems providers, and vendors of
overdraft services. On January 29, 2009, a notice of final
rulemaking was published in the Federal Register adopting the
amendments regarding overdraft fee disclosure and balance
disclosure, with mandatory compliance by January 1, 2010 (74 FR
5584). The proposed amendment regarding notice about a consumers
right to opt out of an institutions overdraft service was
withdrawn. Instead, the Federal Reserve separately proposed to
incorporate this notice requirement into Regulation E
(7100-0200).
