§6804 — Title 15 Commerce and Trade | U.S. Code

Summary

Give certain federal agencies the power to make rules to put this part of the law into practice. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may write rules for the financial firms they oversee under section 6805, but the CFPB may not write rules about the standards in section 6801. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) may write rules for people it oversees under section 7b–2. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) may write rules for any financial institution listed in section 1029(a) even if the CFPB also has authority. State insurance regulators keep their own power to make rules. The agencies must talk and work together, and when appropriate they must consult representatives chosen by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, so their rules are as consistent as possible. They must follow the rulemaking procedures in title 5. The rules they make may add extra exceptions to parts (a)–(d) of section 6802 if those exceptions fit the goals of this part of the law.
