Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 243 / Wednesday, December 19, 2007 / Notices Notice Regarding Charges for Certain Disclosures. ACTION: mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission announces that the ceiling on allowable charges under Section 612(f) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (‘‘FCRA’’) will increase from $10.00 to $10.50 effective January 1, 2008. Under 1996 amendments to the FCRA, the Federal Trade Commission is required to increase the $8.00 amount referred to in paragraph (1)(A)(i) of Section 612(f) on January 1 of each year, based proportionally on changes in the Consumer Price Index (‘‘CPI’’), with fractional changes rounded to the nearest fifty cents. The CPI increased 29.34 percent between September 1997, the date the FCRA amendments took effect, and September 2007. This increase in the CPI and the requirement that any increase be rounded to the nearest fifty cents results in an increase in the maximum allowable charge to $10.50 effective January 1, 2008. EFFECTIVE DATE: January 1, 2008. ADDRESSES: Federal Trade Commission, Washington, DC 20580. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Keith B. Anderson, Bureau of Economics, Federal Trade Commission, Washington, DC 20580, 202–326–3428. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 612(f)(1)(A) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which became effective in 1997, provides that a consumer reporting agency may charge a consumer a reasonable amount for making a disclosure to the consumer pursuant to Section 609 of the Act.1 The law states that, where a consumer reporting agency is permitted to impose a reasonable charge on a consumer for making a disclosure to the consumer pursuant to Section 609, the charge shall not exceed $8 and shall be indicated to the consumer before making the disclosure. Section 612(f)(2) states that the Federal Trade Commission (‘‘the Commission’’) shall increase the $8.00 maximum amount on January 1 of each year, based proportionally on changes in the Consumer Price Index, with fractional changes rounded to the nearest fifty cents. Section 211(a)(2) of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (‘‘FACT Act’’) added a new Section 612(a) to the FCRA that gives consumers the right to request free 1 This provision, originally Section 612(a), was added to the FCRA in September 1996 and became effective in September 1997. It was relabelled Section 612(f) by Section 211(a)(1) of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (‘‘FACT Act’’), Public Law 108-159, which was signed into law on December 4, 2003. VerDate Aug<31>2005 21:40 Dec 18, 2007 Jkt 214001 annual disclosures once every 12 months. The maximum allowable charge established by this Notice does not apply to requests made under that provision. The charge does apply when a consumer who orders a file disclosure has already received a free annual disclosure and does not otherwise qualify for an additional free disclosure. The Commission considers the $8 amount referred to in paragraph (1)(A)(i) of Section 612(f) to be the baseline for the effective ceiling on reasonable charges dating from the effective date of the amended FCRA, i.e., September 30, 1997. Each year the Commission calculates the proportional increase in the Consumer Price Index (using the most general CPI, which is for all urban consumers, all items) from September 1997 to September of the current year. The Commission then determines what modification, if any, from the original base of $8 should be made effective on January 1 of the subsequent year, given the requirement that fractional changes be rounded to the nearest fifty cents. Between September 1997 and September 2007, the Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers and all items increased by 29.34 percent—from an index value of 161.2 in September 1997 to a value of 208.490 in September 2007. An increase of 29.34 percent in the $8.00 base figure would lead to a new figure of $10.35. However, because the statute directs that the resulting figure be rounded to the nearest $0.50, the maximum allowable charge should be $10.50. The Commission therefore determines that the maximum allowable charge for the year 2008 will be $10.50. By direction of the Commission. Donald S. Clark Secretary [FR Doc.

Background: The Advisory Board was established under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program (EEOICP) Act of 2000 to advise the President on a variety of policy and technical functions required to implement and effectively manage the new compensation program. Key functions of the Advisory Board include providing advice on the development of probability of causation guidelines which have been promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as a final rule, advice on methods of dose reconstruction which have also been promulgated by HHS as a final rule, advice on the scientific validity and quality of dose estimation and reconstruction efforts being performed for purposes of the compensation program, and advice on petitions to add classes of workers to the Special Exposure Cohort (SEC). In December 2000, the President delegated responsibility for funding, staffing, and operating the Advisory Board to HHS, which subsequently delegated this authority to the CDC. NIOSH implements this responsibility for CDC. The charter was issued on August 3, 2001, renewed at appropriate intervals, and will expire on August 3, 2009. Purpose: This Advisory Board is charged with (a) providing advice to the Secretary, HHS, on the development of guidelines under Executive Order 13179; (b) providing advice to the Secretary, HHS, on the scientific validity and quality of dose reconstruction efforts performed for this program; and (c) upon request by the Secretary, HHS, advise the Secretary on whether there is a class of employees at any Department of Energy facility who were exposed to radiation but for whom it is not feasible to estimate their radiation dose, and on whether there is reasonable likelihood that such radiation doses may have endangered the health of members of this class. Matters to be Discussed: The topics for the Subcommittee meeting will PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 include a Review of Individual Dose Reconstructions and future Subcommittee Plans and Actions. The agenda for the Advisory Board meeting includes: NIOSH Program Status Report; Redaction of Board Transcripts and SEC Petition for Texas City Chemicals, Inc.; SEC Petition for Nevada Test Site; SEC Petition for Mound; SEC Petition for Combustion Engineering; SEC Petition for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; SEC Petition Updates: Bethlehem Steel, Blockson, Chapman Valve, Dow Chemical, Fernald, and Sandia; Science Issues Update; Department of Labor Update; Department of Energy Update; FY08 Tasks for Sanford Cohen & Associates; Update on selection of board support contractor; NIOSH Program Update; Board Future Plans and Schedules; Working Group Reports; and a Subcommittee for Dose Reconstruction Reviews Report. The agenda is subject to change as priorities dictate. In the event an individual cannot attend, written comments may be submitted according the policy provided below. Any written comments received will be provided at the meeting and should be submitted to the contact person below well in advance of the meeting. Policy on Redaction of Board Meeting Transcripts (Public Comment) (1) If a person making a comment gives his or her name, no attempt will be made to redact that name. (2) NIOSH will take reasonable steps to ensure that individuals making public comment are aware of the fact that their comments (including their name, if provided) will appear in a transcript of the meeting posted on a public website. Such reasonable steps include: (a) A statement read at the start of each public comment period stating that transcripts will be posted and names of speakers will not be redacted; (b) A printed copy of the statement mentioned in (a) above will be displayed on the table where individuals sign up to make public comment; (c) A statement such as outlined in (a) above will also appear with the agenda for a Board Meeting when it is posted on the NIOSH Web site; (d) A statement such as in (a) above will appear in the Federal Register Notice that announces Board and Subcommittee meetings. (3) If an individual in making a statement reveals personal information (e.g., medical information) about themselves that information will not usually be redacted. The NIOSH FOIA coordinator will, however, review such revelations in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act and the Federal E:\FR\FM\19DEN1.SGM 19DEN1
