Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Paperwork Burden Continues for Depository Institutions
The Board's extension keeps the existing information-collection burden in place for respondents (listed as individuals and all depository institutions identified in 15 U.S.C. 1681s(b)(1)(A)(ii)), with a total estimated 282,070 respondents and 403,418 estimated annual burden hours. The extension is for three years, without revision, under OMB control number 7100-0308.
Regulation V Rules Extended Three Years
The Federal Reserve Board extended, for three years and without revision, the Recordkeeping and Disclosure Requirements tied to the CFPB's and the Board's Regulation V (FR V; OMB No. 7100-0308). This keeps in place the Fair Credit Reporting Act-related protections (accuracy, confidentiality, relevancy, and proper use of consumer credit information) for consumers of institutions identified in 15 U.S.C. 1681s(b)(1)(A)(ii).
Identity-Theft Red Flags Rules Remain In Force
The Board will continue, for three years and without revision, the identity theft 'red flags' provisions in the Board's Regulation V that apply to institutions of any size identified in 15 U.S.C. 1681s(b)(1)(A)(ii). This maintains existing identity-theft prevention and detection obligations under Regulation V.
