Regulation Z requires accurate
disclosure of the costs and terms of credit to consumers, including
both open-end and closed-end credit. It also imposes advertising
disclosure requirements and establishes billing error resolution
procedures. It requires creditors to keep records sufficient to
show compliance. Given their generally shared enforcement
jurisdiction for Regulation Z under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Bureau
of Consumer Financial Protection (“BCFP”) and the Federal Trade
Commission ("FTC") have divided the FTC’s previously cleared PRA
burden between them, except that the FTC has wholly assumed all of
the burden estimates associated with motor vehicle dealers and is
also doing so, when appropriate, regarding estimated burden for
state-chartered credit unions. This clearance renewal request
reflects these considerations in addition to updating the FTC
estimates based on evolving market conditions.
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
