FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The statutory deadline for Positive Train Control (PTC) system implementation is December 31, 2015, less than 6 months away. Congress and FRA are concerned that the railroads will not make the statutory deadline. To date, the vast majority of railroads have not submitted, in accordance with 49 CFR 236.1009 and 236.1015, a PTC Safety Plan (PTCSP) and have not submitted, in accordance with 49 CFR 236.1035, a request for testing approval to support a PTCSP, which is necessary to achieve PTC System Certification and operate in revenue service. So that Congress and FRA may better understand the status of each railroad’s implementation efforts, FRA is seeking accurate and current information, with periodic updates, under its investigative authority pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 20103, 20107, and 20902, and 49 CFR 236.1009(h). The railroads’ responses will help inform FRA of the current PTC implementation status. FRA is requesting Emergency processing approval by July 24, 2015, because FRA cannot reasonably comply with normal clearance procedures on account of use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to disrupt the collection of information.

To ensure that we do not receive duplicate copies, please submit your comments only one time. In addition, please include the Docket ID and the term ‘‘Marketplace Lending RFI’’ at the top of your comments. • Federal eRulemaking Portal: You are encouraged to submit comments electronically through www.regulations.gov. Information on using Regulations.gov, including instructions for accessing agency documents, submitting comments, and viewing the docket, is available on the site under a tab titled ‘‘Are you new to the site?’’ Electronic submission of comments allows the commenter maximum time to prepare and submit a comment, ensures timely receipt, and enables the Department to make them available to the public. • U.S. Mail or Commercial Delivery: If you mail your comments, address them to Laura Temel, Attention: Marketplace Lending RFI, U.S. Department of the Treasury, 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Room 1325, Washington, DC 20220.

The potential content, effects, and policy underpinnings of CFPB rules are outside the scope of this RFI, and comments responding to this RFI should not address these CFPB rulemakings or their potential effects on marketplace lending to consumers. Thus, the RFI only seeks comment on online marketplace lending not covered in the potential rulemakings, which, under the current framework, would include comments on the making or facilitating of a loan by online lender to consumers with a term of more than 45 days and an annual percentage rate (as defined in 10 U.S.C. 987(i)(4)) that (I) does not exceed 36% or (II) exceeds 36% provided the loan neither provides for repayment directly from a consumer’s account or paycheck nor creates a non-purchase money security interest in a vehicle. This framework is currently under discussion, however, and the CFPB may ultimately change the scope of any proposed or final CFPB regulation. 2 The activities on online marketplace lending platforms also may entail the offering of securities that are subject to the federal securities laws.

Therefore, commenters should be careful to include in their comments only information that they wish to make publicly available on the Internet.

Online marketplace lenders may be subject to regulations promulgated by various agencies including, but not limited to, the CFPB and the Federal Trade Commission.
