Description: This information collection covers Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (CFPB) Regulations B, E, M, Z, and DD and Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB) Regulation CC. The CFPB
and FRB regulations include the following provisions:
Regulation B--12 CFR 1002--Equal Credit Opportunity Act
This regulation prohibits lenders from discriminating against
credit applicants on certain prohibited bases. The regulation also
requires creditors to: (i) notify applicants of action taken on their
credit application; (ii) report credit history in the names of both
spouses on an account; (iii) retain records of credit applications;
(iv) collect information about the applicant's race and other personal
characteristics in applications for certain dwelling-related loans; and
(v) provide applicants with copies of appraisal reports used in
connection with credit transactions. The regulation was amended to
implement changes to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) made by
section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer
Protection Act (88 FR 35150). Section 1071 requires covered financial
institutions to collect and report data on applications for credit for
small businesses. The regulation's revision includes additional
information collection requirements that require the compilation and
maintenance of reportable data, including notice requirements and
reporting and recordkeeping requirements for small business lending
data.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ However, the OCC is not reporting an estimate for burden
associated with the small business lending rule, given that, as the
CFPB has noted, the rule is stayed: ``As a result of ongoing
litigation, all deadlines for compliance with the small business
lending rule currently are stayed for all covered financial
institutions.'' CFPB, Small Business Lending under the Equal Credit
Opportunity Act (Regulation B), available at <a href="https://www.consumerfinance.gov/rules-policy/final-rules/small-business-lending-under-the-equal-credit-opportunity-act-regulation-b/">https://www.consumerfinance.gov/rules-policy/final-rules/small-business-lending-under-the-equal-credit-opportunity-act-regulation-b/</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regulation E--12 CFR 1005--Electronic Fund Transfers (Except Prepaid
Card Provisions 1557-0346)
This regulation carries out the purposes of the Electronic Fund
Transfer Act (15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq.), which establishes the basic
rights, liabilities, and responsibilities of consumers who use
electronic fund transfers and remittance transfer services and of
financial institutions or other persons that offer these services.
Regulation M--12 CFR 1013--Consumer Leasing
This regulation implements the consumer leasing provisions of the
Truth in Lending Act, including by, among other actions, requiring
meaningful disclosure of leasing terms.
Regulation Z--12 CFR 1026--Truth in Lending
This regulation is intended to promote the informed use of consumer
credit by requiring disclosures about its terms and cost, to ensure
that consumers are provided with greater and more timely information on
the nature and costs of the residential real estate settlement process
and to effect certain changes in the settlement process for residential
real estate that will result in more effective advance disclosure to
home buyers and sellers of settlement costs. The regulation gives
consumers the right to cancel certain credit transactions that involve
a lien on a consumer's principal dwelling, regulates certain credit
card practices, and provides a means for fair and timely resolution of
credit billing disputes. Other provisions of the regulation include
rules specific to credit card accounts, certain dwelling-secured
transactions, home-equity plans, and private education loans.
Regulation DD--12 CFR 1030--Truth in Savings
This regulation requires depository institutions to provide
disclosures to enable consumers to make meaningful comparisons among
accounts at depository institutions.
Regulation CC--12 CFR 229--Availability of Funds and Collection of
Checks
This regulation includes timeframes to govern the availability of
funds deposited into certain transaction accounts, rules to govern the
collection and return of checks and electronic checks, and general
provisions to govern the use of substitute checks.
Estimated Burden:
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,005.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 2,661,240 hours.
Comments: On February 01, 2024, the OCC published a 60-day notice
for this information collection, 89 FR 6566. No comments were received.
Comments continue to be invited on:
(a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the OCC, including whether the
information has practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of the OCC's estimate of the burden of the
collection of information;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology; and

maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
