Title: Procedures to Enhance the Accuracy and Integrity of
Information Furnished to Consumer Reporting Agencies under Section 312
of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003.
OMB Control No.: 1557-0238.
Type of Review: Regular.
Description: Pursuant to section 312 of the FACT Act, the OCC
issued guidelines for use by furnishers regarding the accuracy and
integrity of the information about consumers that they furnish to
consumer reporting agencies and prescribed regulations that require
furnishers to establish reasonable policies and procedures for
implementing the guidelines. Section 312 also required the issuance of
regulations identifying the circumstances under which a furnisher must
reinvestigate disputes about the accuracy of information contained in a
consumer report based on a direct request from a consumer.
Twelve CFR 1022.42(a) requires furnishers to establish and
implement reasonable written policies and procedures regarding the
accuracy and integrity of consumer information that they provide to a
consumer reporting agency (CRA).
Twelve CFR 1022.43(a) requires a furnisher to conduct a reasonable
investigation of a dispute initiated directly by a consumer in certain
circumstances. Furnishers are required to have procedures to ensure
that disputes received directly from consumers are handled in a
substantially similar manner to those complaints received through CRAs.
Twelve CFR 1022.43(f)(2) incorporates the statutory requirement
that a furnisher must notify a consumer by mail or other means (if
authorized by the consumer) not later than five business days after
making a determination that a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant.
Twelve CFR 1022.43(f)(3) incorporates the statute's content
requirements for the notices.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit.
Estimated Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,032.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 185,603 hours.
Comments: On May 28, 2024, the OCC published a 60-day notice for
this information collection, (89 FR 46304). 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
