Businesses keep Reg P reporting burden
Private-sector financial businesses remain subject to the Regulation P information collection under OMB Control Number 3170-0010. The CFPB estimates 462,760 respondents and a total annual burden of 312,916 hours related to initial privacy notices, annual notices, revision notices, and opt-out notices.
Consumer privacy notice and opt-out rules preserved
If you are a consumer of financial institutions, Regulation P implements the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act rules that generally prohibit sharing your nonpublic personal financial information with nonaffiliated third parties unless the institution provides required notices (initial privacy notices, annual notices, notices of revisions) and you have not elected to opt out. The CFPB is seeking comment on the information collection that supports those notice and opt-out requirements.
