Three-Year Extension of Paperwork Rules
The FTC is asking OMB to renew the paperwork approval for the Risk-Based Pricing Rule for three more years. The current clearance expires on July 31, 2026, comments are due by August 12, 2026, and the FTC estimates the rule causes 10,667,220 annual burden hours and $246,626,126 in annual labor costs for private-sector businesses.
Continued Consumer Notice Requirements
Under the Risk-Based Pricing Rule (16 CFR 640.3-640.4 and CFPB Regulation V at 12 CFR 1022.72-1022.73), a creditor that uses a consumer report to give credit on materially less favorable terms must provide a risk-based pricing notice, and must disclose credit scores if a score was used. The PRA extension request keeps those consumer notice and credit-score disclosure requirements in place.
