SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Consumer Leasing Act (Regulation M).
OMB Control Number: 3170-0006.
Type of review: Extension of a currently approved information
collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other for-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 13,718.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,126.
Abstract: Consumers rely on the disclosures required by the
Consumer Leasing Act, 15 U.S.C. 1667 et seq. (CLA) and Regulation M, 12
CFR 1013, for information to comparison shop among leases as well as to
ascertain the true costs and terms of lease offers. Federal/State
enforcement and private litigants use the records to ascertain whether
accurate and complete disclosures of the cost of leases have been
provided to consumers prior to consummation of the lease. This
information provides the primary evidence of law violations in CLA
enforcement actions brought by Federal agencies. The agency's ability
to enforce the CLA would be significantly impaired without Regulation
M's recordkeeping requirements.
Request for Comments: The Bureau published a 60-day Federal
Register notice on 4/7/2022 (87 FR 20394) under Docket Number: CFPB-
2022-0021. The Bureau is soliciting comments 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 submitted to OMB as part of its review of this request.
All comments will become a matter of public record.
Anthony May,
Paperwork Reduction Act Officer, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
