SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC is proposing to extend OMB approval of the following information collection: Title: Debt Cancellation Contracts and Debt Suspension Agreements. OMB Number: 1557–0224. Description: This submission covers an existing regulation and involves no FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: PO 00000 Frm 00075 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 34815 change to the regulation or the information collection. The OCC requests only that OMB renew its approval of the information collection. The regulation requires national banks to disclose information about a Debt Cancellation Contract (DCC) or Debt Suspension Agreement (DSA). The short form disclosure is usually made orally and is issued at the time the bank first solicits the purchase of a contract. The long form disclosure is usually made in writing and is issued before the customer completes the purchase of the contract. There are special rules for transactions by telephone, solicitations using written mail inserts or ‘‘take one’’ applications, and electronic transactions. Part 37 provides two forms of disclosure that serve as models for satisfying the requirements of the rule. Use of the forms is not mandatory. A bank may adjust the form and wording of its disclosures so long as the requirements of the regulation are met. 12 U.S.C. 24 (Seventh) authorizes national banks to enter into DCCs and DSAs. The requirements of part 37 enhance consumer protections for customers who buy DCCs and DSAs from national banks and ensure that national banks do so on a safe and sound basis by requiring them to effectively manage their risk exposure. Section 37.6 Section 37.6 requires a bank to provide the following disclosures, as appropriate: • Anti-tying—A bank must inform the customer that neither its decision whether to approve a loan nor the terms and conditions of the loan are conditioned on the purchase of a DCC or DSA. • Explanation of debt suspension agreement—A bank must disclose that if a customer activates the agreement, the customer’s duty to pay the loan principal and interest is only suspended and the customer must fully repay the loan after the period of suspension has expired. • Amount of the fee—A bank must make disclosures regarding the amount of the fee. The disclosure must differ depending on whether the credit is open-end or closed-end. In the case of closed-end credit, the bank must disclose the total fee. In the case of open-end credit, the bank must either disclose that the periodic fee is based on the account balance multiplied by a unit cost and provide the unit cost, or disclose the formula used to compute the fee. • Lump sum payment of fee—A bank must disclose, where appropriate, that a customer has the option to pay the fee E:\FR\FM\15JNN1.SGM 15JNN1
