Agency form number: CFPB Reg G. OMB control number: 7100–0328. Frequency: Annually. Respondents: Employees of state member banks, certain subsidiaries of state member banks, branches and agencies of foreign banks that are regulated by the Federal Reserve, and commercial lending companies of foreign banks who act as residential mortgage loan originators (MLOs). Estimated number of respondents: MLOs (new): Initial set up and disclosure, 173 respondents; MLOs (existing): Maintenance and disclosure, 21,656 respondents; MLOs (existing): Updates for changes, 10,828 respondents; and Depository Institutions, and subsidiaries, 741 respondents. Estimated average hours per response: MLOs (new): Initial set up and disclosure, 3.5 hours; MLOs (existing): Maintenance and disclosure, 0.85 hours; MLOs (existing): Updates for changes, 0.25 hours; and Depository Institutions, and subsidiaries, 118 hours.

The CFPB’s regulation also requires the institutions employing these MLOs to adopt and follow written policies and procedures to ensure their employees comply with these requirements and to conduct annual independent compliance tests to assure compliance. The CFPB’s rule applies to a broad range of financial institutions and their employees, including Board-supervised institutions/employees, such as state member banks and their nonfunctionally-regulated subsidiaries, state uninsured branches and agencies of E:\FR\FM\11APN1.SGM 11APN1 srobinson on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 68 / Tuesday, April 11, 2017 / Notices foreign banks, and commercial lending companies owned or controlled by foreign banks. Legal authorization and confidentiality: The Board’s Legal Division has determined that Section 1507 of the S.A.F.E. Act, 12 U.S.C. 5106, requires that the CFPB develop and maintain a system for registering individual MLOs of covered financial institutions regulated by a federal banking agency with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry. Section 1504 of the S.A.F.E. Act, (12 U.S.C. 5103), requires that an individual desiring to engage in the business of a loan originator maintain an annual federal registration (or be licensed by an equivalent state regulatory scheme) and appear on the Registry with a unique identifier. Section 1007.103 of the CFPB’s Regulation G implements this registration scheme; Section 1007.104 requires the adoption of appropriate policies and procedures by covered financial institutions; and Section 1007.105 requires that covered financial institutions provide the unique identifiers of MLOs to consumers. (12 CFR 1007.103–.105). Under Section 1061 of the Dodd-Frank Act, (12 U.S.C. 5581©), ‘‘a transferor agency [such as the Board] that is a prudential regulator shall have . . . ‘‘authority to require reports from . . . conduct examinations for . . . and enforce compliance with Federal consumer financial laws’’ with respect to the Board-supervised entities enumerated above. Therefore, the Board is authorized to collect this information with respect to the institutions we supervise for this purpose. This information collection is mandatory. As noted above, the unique identifier of MLOs must be made public and is not considered confidential. In addition, most of the information that MLOs submit in order to register with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry will be publicly available. However, certain identifying data about individuals who act as MLOs are entitled to confidential treatment under (b)(6) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which protects from disclosure information that ‘‘would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.’’ (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6)). With respect to the information collection requirements imposed on depository institutions, because the requirements require that depository institutions retain their own records and make certain disclosures to customers, the FOIA would only be implicated if the Board’s examiners obtained a copy of these records as part of the examination or supervision process of a VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:18 Apr 10, 2017 Jkt 241001 financial institution.

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3521, AHRQ invites the public to comment on this proposed information collection. This system, the AHRQ Research Reporting System (ARRS), previously known as the Grants Reporting System (GRS), was last approved by OMB on May 16, 2014. The system addressed the shortfalls in the previous reporting process and established a consistent and comprehensive grants reporting solution for AHRQ. The ARRS provides a centralized repository of grants and contract research progress and additional information that can be used to support initiatives within the Agency. This includes future research planning and support for administrative activities such as performance monitoring, budgeting, knowledge transfer and strategic planning. This project has the following goals: (1) To promote the transfer of critical information more frequently and efficiently and enhance the Agency’s ability to support research designed to improve the outcomes and quality of health care, reduce its costs, and broaden access to effective services. (2) To increase the efficiency of the Agency in responding to ad-hoc information requests. (3) To support Executive Branch requirements for increased transparency and public reporting. (4) To establish a consistent approach throughout the Agency for information collection regarding grant and contract progress and a systematic basis for oversight and for facilitating potential collaborations among grantees. (5) To decrease the inconvenience and burden on grantees and vendors of unanticipated ad-hoc requests for information by the Agency in response to particular one-time internal and external requests for information. This study is being conducted by AHRQ pursuant to AHRQ’s statutory authority to conduct and support research on health care and on systems for the delivery of such care, including activities with respect to the quality, effectiveness, efficiency, appropriateness and value of healthcare services and with respect to quality measurement and improvement. 42 U.S.C. 299a(a)(1) and (2).

residential mortgage loan originators (MLOs) to register with the 
Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (the Registry),

foreign banks, and commercial lending companies owned or controlled by 
foreign banks.
    Legal authorization and confidentiality: The Board's Legal Division 
has determined that Section 1507 of the S.A.F.E. Act, 12 U.S.C. 5106, 
requires that the CFPB develop and maintain a system for registering 
individual MLOs of covered financial institutions regulated by a 
federal banking agency with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System

requires that an individual desiring to engage in the business of a 
loan originator maintain an annual federal registration (or be licensed

with a unique identifier. Section 1007.103 of the CFPB's Regulation G 
implements this registration scheme; Section 1007.104 requires the 
adoption of appropriate policies and procedures by covered financial 
institutions; and Section 1007.105 requires that covered financial 
institutions provide the unique identifiers of MLOs to consumers. (12 
CFR 1007.103-.105). Under Section 1061 of the Dodd-Frank Act, (12 
U.S.C. 5581(copyright)), ``a transferor agency [such as the Board] that 
is a prudential regulator shall have . . . ``authority to require

Board-supervised entities enumerated above. Therefore, the Board is 
authorized to collect this information with respect to the institutions 
we supervise for this purpose. This information collection is 
mandatory.
    As noted above, the unique identifier of MLOs must be made public 
and is not considered confidential. In addition, most of the

    With respect to the information collection requirements imposed on

records obtained in this manner are exempt from disclosure under FOIA 
exemption (b)(8), regarding examination-related materials. (5 U.S.C. 
552(b)(8)).
    Current Actions: On January 10, 2017 the Federal Reserve published 
a notice in the Federal Register (82 FR 2995) requesting public comment 
for 60 days on the extension, without revision, of the Registration of 
Mortgage Loan Originators. The comment period for this notice expired
