The CFPB’s and the Board’s Regulations
V (FR V) 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 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 Bureau’s FCRA regulations
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 prescribing and enforcing the
identity theft red flags provisions in the Board’s FCRA regulations
for institutions of any size that are identified in 15 U.S.C. §
1681s(b)(1)(A)(ii).
