ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The information collection
requirements described below have
been submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) for
review, as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act (‘‘PRA’’). The FTC is
seeking public comments on its
proposal to extend through December
31, 2006, the current PRA clearance for
information collection requirements for
its Mortgage Disclosure Study. That
clearance was scheduled to expire on
November 30, 2004. On November 22,
2004, the OMB granted the FTC’s
request for a short-term extension to
December 31, 2004, to allow for this
second opportunity to comment.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before February 4, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are
invited to submit written comments.
Comments should refer to ‘‘Mortgage
Disclosure Study—FTC File No.
P025505,’’ to facilitate the organization
of comments. A comment filed in paper
form should include this reference both
in the text and on the envelope, and
should be mailed or delivered to the
following address: Federal Trade
Commission/Office of the Secretary,
Room H–159 (Annex X), 600
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20580. The FTC is
requesting that any comment filed in
paper form be sent by courier or
overnight service, if possible, because
U.S. postal mail in the Washington area
and at the Commission is subject to
delay due to heightened security
precautions. Alternatively, comments
may be filed in electronic form (in
ASCII format, WordPerfect, or Microsoft
Word) as part of or as an attachment to
PO 00000
Frm 00044
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
e-mail messages directed to the
following e-mail box:
MortgageDS@ftc.gov. If the comment
contains any material for which
confidential treatment is requested, it
must be filed in paper form, and the first
page of the document must be clearly
labeled ‘‘Confidential.’’ 1
All comments should additionally be
submitted to: Office of Management and
Budget, Attention: Desk Officer for the
Federal Trade Commission. Comments
should be submitted via facsimile to
(202) 395–6974 because U.S. Postal Mail
is subject to lengthy delays due to
heightened security precautions.
The FTC Act and other laws the
Commission administers permit the
collection of public comments to
consider and use in this proceeding as
appropriate. All timely and responsive
public comments will be considered by
the Commission, and will be available
to the public on the FTC Web site, to the
extent practicable, at https://www.ftc.gov.
As a matter of discretion, the FTC makes
every effort to remove home contact
information for individuals from the
public comments it receives before
placing those comments on the FTC
Web site. More information, including
routine uses permitted by the Privacy
Act, may be found in the FTC’s privacy
policy, at https://www.ftc.gov/ftc/
privacy.htm.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Requests for additional information
should be addressed to James M. Lacko,
Economist, Bureau of Economics,
Federal Trade Commission, 600
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20580. Telephone:
(202) 326–3387; e-mail
MortgageDS@ftc.gov.
On
September 28, 2004, the FTC sought
comment on the information collection
requirements associated with the
Mortgage Disclosure Study (OMB
Control Number 3084–0126). See 69 FR
57932. No comments were received.
Pursuant to the OMB regulations that
implement the PRA (5 CFR Part 1320),
the FTC is providing this second
opportunity for public comment while
seeking OMB approval to extend the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1 Commission Rule 4.2(d), 16 CFR 4.2(d). The
comment must be accompanied by an explicit
request for confidential treatment, including the
factual and legal basis for the request, and must
identify the specific portions of the comment to be
withheld from the public record. The request will
be granted or denied by the Commission’s General
Counsel, consistent with applicable law and the
public interest. See Commission Rule 4.9(c), 16 CFR
4.9(c).
