The Bureau is finalizing amendments that it proposed in February 2015 2 to suspend temporarily the requirement in § 1026.58(c) that card issuers submit credit card agreements to the Bureau for a period of one year (i.e., four quarterly submissions), in order to reduce burden while the Bureau works to develop a more streamlined and automated electronic submission system.

the Board now removes 5 CFR 1201.183(c)(3) as unnecessary and 
duplicative.
