Download as PDF jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 93 / Monday, May 15, 2006 / Notices Final approval under OMB delegated authority of the extension for three years, without revision, of the following collections of information: 1. Report title: Notice Requirements in Connection with Regulation W (12 CFR Part 223 Transactions Between Member Banks and Their Affiliates) Agency form number: Reg W OMB control number: 7100–0304 Frequency: Event–generated Reporters: Insured depository institutions and uninsured member banks Estimated annual reporting hours: 250 hours Estimated average hours per response: Loan participation renewal notice, 2 hours; Acquisition notice, 6 hours; Internal corporate reorganization transactions notice, 6 hours; and Section 23A additional exemption notice, 10 hours. Estimated number of respondents: 45 General description of report: This information collection is required to evidence compliance with sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 371c(f) and 371c–1(e)). Confidential and proprietary information collected for the purposes of the Loan Participation Renewal notice 12 CFR 223.15(b)(4) may be protected under the authority of the Freedom of Information Act (5U.S.C. § 552(b)(4) and (b)(8)). Section (b)(4) exempts information deemed competitively sensitive from disclosure and Section (b)(8) exempts information ‘‘contained in or related to examination, operating, or condition reports prepared by, on behalf of, or for the use of an agency responsible for the regulation or supervision of financial institutions.’’ Abstract: Effective April 1, 2003, the Federal Reserve issued Regulation W to implement comprehensively sections 23A and 23B. The Federal Reserve decided to issue such a rule for several reasons. First, the regulatory framework established by the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act emphasizes the importance of sections 23A and 23B as a means to protect depository institutions from losses in transactions with affiliates. In addition, adoption of a comprehensive rule simplified the interpretation and application of sections 23A and 23B, ensured that the statute is consistently interpreted and applied, and minimized burden on banking organizations to the extent consistent with the statute’s goals. Finally, issuing a comprehensive rule allowed the public an opportunity to comment on Federal Reserve interpretations of sections 23A and 23B. On December 12, 2002, the Federal Reserve published a Federal Register notice (67 FR 76603) adopting Reg W. VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:54 May 12, 2006 Jkt 208001 On March 3, 2006, the Federal Reserve published a notice soliciting comment on this proposal, Regulation W (71 FR 10971). The comment period ended on May 2, 2006. The Federal Reserve did not receive any comments. 2.

General description of report: This information collection is mandatory (15 U.S.C. 1601, 1604(a)). Since the Federal Reserve does not collect any information, no issue of confidentiality arises. Transaction– or account–specific disclosures and billing error allegations PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 28031 are not publicly available and are confidential between the creditor and the consumer. General disclosures of credit terms that appear in advertisements or take–one applications are available to the public. Abstract: TILA and Regulation Z require disclosure of the costs and terms of credit to consumers. For open–end credit (revolving credit accounts), creditors are required to disclose information about the initial costs and terms and to provide periodic statements of account activity, notices of changes in terms, and statements of rights concerning billing error procedures. There are special disclosure requirements for credit and charge card applications and solicitations, as well as for home equity plans. For closed–end loans, such as mortgage and installment loans, cost disclosures are required to be provided prior to consummation. Special disclosures are required of certain products, such as reverse mortgages, certain variable rate loans, and certain mortgages with rates and fees above specified thresholds. TILA and Regulation Z also contain rules concerning credit advertising. On March 3, 2006, the Federal Reserve published a notice soliciting comment on this proposal, Regulation Z (71 FR 10971). The comment period ended on May 2, 2006. The Federal Reserve did not receive any comments. Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, May 9, 2006. Jennifer J. Johnson Secretary of the Board.
