SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Prohibition on Inclusion of Adverse
Information in Consumer Reporting in Cases of Human Trafficking
(Regulation V).
OMB Control Number: 3170-0002.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved information
collection.
Affected Public: Private sector: businesses and other for-profit
entities.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 779,073.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 6,246,866.
Abstract: The Bureau seeks comment on regulations implementing
amendments to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) that assist
consumers who are victims of trafficking. The information collection
would include a recent amendment to the FCRA, would establish a method
for a victim of trafficking to submit documentation to consumer
reporting agencies, including information identifying any adverse item
of information about the consumer that resulted from certain types of
human trafficking, and prohibit the consumer reporting agencies from
furnishing a consumer report containing the adverse item(s) of
information. The Bureau is taking this action as mandated by the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 and to assist
consumers who are victims of trafficking in building or rebuilding
financial stability and personal independence.
Request for Comments: Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Bureau, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the Bureau's estimate of
the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of
the methods and the assumptions used; (c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) Ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology. Comments submitted in response to this
notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB
approval. All comments will become a matter of public record.
Anthony May,
Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
