Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request, 68892-68894 [E6-20108]

Download as PDF ycherry on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES 68892 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 28, 2006 / Notices However, YES! Sportscars provided no information on prospective U.S. dealers, projected sales per outlet, or employment. Thus, it is difficult to assess the likely employment impacts associated with granting the petition, as any such conclusions would be largely speculative. We believe that this exemption will have negligible impact on motor vehicle safety because of the limited number of vehicles affected (approximately 250 imported for the duration of the exemption). Furthermore, as discussed in previous decisions on temporary exemption applications, the agency believes that the public interest is served by affording consumers a wider variety of motor vehicle choices. We note that, as explained below, prospective purchasers will be notified that the vehicle is exempted from the specified advanced air bag requirements of Standard No. 208. Under § 555.9(b), a manufacturer of an exempted passenger car must affix securely to the windshield or side window of each exempted vehicle a label containing a statement that the vehicle conforms to all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards in effect on the date of manufacture ‘‘except for Standard Nos. [listing the standards by number and title for which an exemption has been granted] exempted pursuant to NHTSA Exemption No.l.’’ This label notifies prospective purchasers about the exemption and its subject. Under § 555.9(c), this information must also be included on the vehicle’s certification label. The text of § 555.9 does not expressly indicate how the required statement on the two labels should read in situations where an exemption covers part but not all of a Federal motor vehicle safety standard. In this case, we believe that a statement that the vehicle has been exempted from Standard No. 208 generally, without an indication that the exemption is limited to the specified advanced air bag provisions, could be misleading. A consumer might incorrectly believe that the vehicle has been exempted from all of Standard No. 208’s requirements. Moreover, we believe that the addition of a reference to such provisions by number without an indication of its subject matter would be of little use to consumers, since they would not know the subject of those specific provisions. For these reasons, we believe the two labels should read in relevant part, ‘‘except for S14.5.2, S15, S17, S19, S21, S23, and S25 (Advanced Air Bag Requirements) of Standard No. 208, Occupant Crash Protection, exempted pursuant to * * *.’’ We note that the phrase ‘‘Advanced Air Bag VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:42 Nov 27, 2006 Jkt 211001 Requirements’’ is an abbreviated form of the title of S14 of Standard No. 208. We believe it is reasonable to interpret § 555.9 as requiring this language. In sum, the agency concludes that YES! Sportscars has demonstrated good faith effort to bring the YES! Roadster into compliance with the advanced air bag requirements of FMVSS No. 208, and has also demonstrated the requisite financial hardship. Further, we find the exemption to be in the public interest. In consideration of the foregoing, we conclude that compliance with the advanced air bag requirements of FMVSS No. 208, Occupant Crash Protection, would cause substantial economic hardship to a manufacturer that has tried in good faith to comply with the standard. We further conclude that granting of an exemption would be in the public interest and consistent with the objectives of traffic safety. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 30113(b)(3)(B)(i), the YES! Roadster is granted NHTSA Temporary Exemption No. EX 06–9, from S14.5.2, S15, S17, S19, S21, S23, and S25 of 49 CFR 571.208. The exemption is effective from September 1, 2006 to August 31, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC is proposing to extend OMB approval of the following information collection: Title: Privacy of Consumer Financial Information (12 CFR part 40). OMB Number: 1557–0216. Description: This submission covers an existing regulation and involves no change to the regulation or to the information collection requirements. The OCC requests only that OMB approve its revised estimates. These information collection requirements are required under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Pub. L. 106– 102), which required the OCC to issue regulations as necessary to implement notice requirements and restrictions on VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:42 Nov 27, 2006 Jkt 211001 a financial institution’s ability to disclose nonpublic personal information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties. The information collection requirements in part 40 are as follows: Section 40.4(a)—Disclosure (institution)—Initial privacy notice to consumers requirement—A bank must provide a clear and conspicuous notice that accurately reflects its privacy policies and practices to customers and consumers. Section 40.5(a)—Disclosure (institution)—Annual privacy notice to customers requirement—A bank must provide a clear and conspicuous notice to customers that accurately reflects its privacy policies and practices not less than annually during the continuation of the customer relationship. Section 40.8—Disclosure (institution)—Revised privacy notices— If a bank wishes to disclose information in a way that is inconsistent with the notices previously given to a consumer, the bank must provide consumers with a revised notice of the bank’s policies and procedures and a new opt out notice. Section—40.7(a)—Disclosure (institution)—Form of opt out notice to consumers; opt out methods—Form of opt out notice—If a bank is required to provide an opt out notice under § 40.10(a), it must provide a clear and conspicuous notice to each of its consumers that accurately explains the right to opt out under that section. The notice must state: • That the bank discloses or reserves the right to disclose nonpublic personal information about its consumer to a nonaffiliated third party. • That the consumer has the right to opt out of that disclosure. • A reasonable means by which the consumer may exercise the opt out right The bank must provide reasonable opt out means such as by— • Designating check-off boxes on the relevant forms with opt out notice. • Including reply form with opt out notice. • Providing electronic means to opt out; or, • Providing a toll-free number to opt out. Sections 40.10(a)(2) and 40.10(c)— Consumers must take affirmative actions to exercise their rights to prevent financial institutions from sharing their information with nonaffiliated parties— • Opt out—Consumers may direct that the bank not disclose nonpublic personal information about them to a nonaffiliated third party, other than permitted by §§ 40.13–40.15. PO 00000 Frm 00100 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 68893 • Partial opt out—Consumers may also exercise partial opt out rights by selecting certain nonpublic personal information or certain nonaffiliated third parties with respect to which the consumer wishes to opt out. Sections 40.7(f) and (g)—Reporting (consumer)—Consumers may exercise continuing right to opt out—Consumer may opt out at any time—A consumer’s direction to opt out is effective until the consumer revokes it in writing or, if the consumer agrees, electronically. When a customer relationship terminates, the customer’s opt out direction continues to apply. At the time part 40 was promulgated, the OCC used nominal burden estimates due to the uncertainty of what institutions would do to comply with the opt-out requirements and how consumers would react. The OCC is now revisiting its estimates to determine how they could be made more accurate. The OCC does not require its institutions to report the percentage of consumers choosing to opt out. Absent this information, we estimate that between 2% and 12% of consumers with new mortgages or credit cards and 1% of consumers with deposit accounts under $100,000 will opt out under part 40. While we understand that an increase in the number of consumers opting out will increase the burden on the industry due to the processing time associated with the additional opt outs, we have not adjusted our burden estimates for the industry because we do not have reliable figures about the rate of opt outs. Therefore, we estimate that between 3 and 17.9 million consumers will opt out. Our estimates set forth in this notice reflect the midpoint of 9 million. We invite comment on our estimates and welcome any other information that might assist us in making them more accurate. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC is proposing to extend OMB approval 
of the following information collection:
    Title: Privacy of Consumer Financial Information (12 CFR part 40).
    OMB Number: 1557-0216.
    Description: This submission covers an existing regulation and 
involves no change to the regulation or to the information collection 
requirements. The OCC requests only that OMB approve its revised 
estimates.
    These information collection requirements are required under the 
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (Pub. L. 106-102), which required the OCC to 
issue regulations as necessary to implement notice requirements and 
restrictions on a financial institution's ability to disclose nonpublic 
personal information about consumers to nonaffiliated third parties.
    The information collection requirements in part 40 are as follows:
    Section 40.4(a)--Disclosure (institution)--Initial privacy notice 
to consumers requirement--A bank must provide a clear and conspicuous 
notice that accurately reflects its privacy policies and practices to 
customers and consumers.
    Section 40.5(a)--Disclosure (institution)--Annual privacy notice to 
customers requirement--A bank must provide a clear and conspicuous 
notice to customers that accurately reflects its privacy policies and 
practices not less than annually during the continuation of the 
customer relationship.
    Section 40.8--Disclosure (institution)--Revised privacy notices--If 
a bank wishes to disclose information in a way that is inconsistent 
with the notices previously given to a consumer, the bank must provide 
consumers with a revised notice of the bank's policies and procedures 
and a new opt out notice.
    Section--40.7(a)--Disclosure (institution)--Form of opt out notice 
to consumers; opt out methods--Form of opt out notice--If a bank is 
required to provide an opt out notice under Sec.  40.10(a), it must 
provide a clear and conspicuous notice to each of its consumers that 
accurately explains the right to opt out under that section. The notice 
must state:
     That the bank discloses or reserves the right to disclose 
nonpublic personal information about its consumer to a nonaffiliated 
third party.
     That the consumer has the right to opt out of that 
disclosure.
     A reasonable means by which the consumer may exercise the 
opt out right
    The bank must provide reasonable opt out means such as by--
     Designating check-off boxes on the relevant forms with opt 
out notice.
     Including reply form with opt out notice.
     Providing electronic means to opt out; or,
     Providing a toll-free number to opt out.
    Sections 40.10(a)(2) and 40.10(c)--Consumers must take affirmative 
actions to exercise their rights to prevent financial institutions from 
sharing their information with nonaffiliated parties--
     Opt out--Consumers may direct that the bank not disclose 
nonpublic personal information about them to a nonaffiliated third 
party, other than permitted by Sec. Sec.  40.13-40.15.
     Partial opt out--Consumers may also exercise partial opt 
out rights by selecting certain nonpublic personal information or 
certain nonaffiliated third parties with respect to which the consumer 
wishes to opt out.
    Sections 40.7(f) and (g)--Reporting (consumer)--Consumers may 
exercise continuing right to opt out--Consumer may opt out at any 
time--A consumer's direction to opt out is effective until the consumer 
revokes it in writing or, if the consumer agrees, electronically. When 
a customer relationship terminates, the customer's opt out direction 
continues to apply.
    At the time part 40 was promulgated, the OCC used nominal burden 
estimates due to the uncertainty of what institutions would do to 
comply with the opt-out requirements and how consumers would react. The 
OCC is now revisiting its estimates to determine how they could be made 
more accurate.
    The OCC does not require its institutions to report the percentage 
of consumers choosing to opt out. Absent this information, we estimate 
that between 2% and 12% of consumers with new mortgages or credit cards 
and 1% of consumers with deposit accounts under $100,000 will opt out 
under part 40. While we understand that an increase in the number of 
consumers opting out will increase the burden on the industry due to 
the processing time associated with the additional opt outs, we have 
not adjusted our burden estimates for the industry because we do not 
have reliable figures about the rate of opt outs.
    Therefore, we estimate that between 3 and 17.9 million consumers 
will opt out. Our estimates set forth in this notice reflect the 
midpoint of 9 million. We invite comment on our estimates and welcome 
any other information that might assist us in making them more 
accurate.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit; individuals.
    Estimated Annual Number of Institution Respondents: Initial Notice, 
50; Annual Notice and Change in Terms, 1,869; Opt-out Notice, 935.
    Estimated Average Time Per Response Per Institution: Initial 
Notice, 80 hours; Annual Notice and Change in Terms, 8 hours; Opt-out 
Notice, 8 hours.
    Estimated Subtotal Annual Burden Hours for Institutions: 26,432 
hours.
    Estimated Annual Number of Consumer Respondents: 9,000,000.
    Estimated Average Time Per Consumer Response: 0.25 hours.
    Estimated Subtotal Annual Burden Hours for Consumers: 2,250,000 
hours.

[[Page 68894]]

    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,276,432 hours.
    On September 22, 2006, the OCC published a 60-Day Federal Register 
Notice setting forth these estimates. 71 FR 55545. No comments were 
received. Comments continue to be invited on:
    (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information has practical utility;
    (b) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
collection of information;
    (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected;
    (d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and
    (e) Estimates of capital or startup costs and costs of operation, 
maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
