Download as PDF 66102 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 216 / Thursday, November 6, 2008 / Notices sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES Affirmative Election to Purchase and Acknowledgment of Receipt of Disclosures Required Section 37.7 requires a bank to obtain a customer’s written affirmative election to purchase a contract and written acknowledgment of receipt of the disclosures required by § 37.6. If the sale of the contract occurs by telephone, the customer’s affirmative election to purchase may be made orally, and the requirement to obtain the customer’s acknowledgment of receipt of the required long form disclosures may be waived, provided the bank takes certain steps and maintains certain documentation. If the contract is solicited through written materials such as mail inserts or ‘‘take one’’ applications and the bank provides only the short form disclosures in the written materials, then the bank shall mail the acknowledgment, together with the long form disclosures, to the customer. The bank may not obligate the customer to pay for the contract until after the bank has received the customer’s written acknowledgment of receipt of disclosures unless the bank takes certain steps and maintains certain documentation. The affirmative election and acknowledgment may also be made electronically. Type of Review: Regular. Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit. Number of Respondents: 1,800. Total Annual Responses: 1,800. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Total Annual Burden Hours: 43,200. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection unless the information collection displays a currently valid OMB control number. On August 26, 2008, the OCC published a notice in the Federal Register soliciting comments for 60 days on this information collection (73 FR 50400). One comment was received from an industry trade association. The commenter stated that obtaining a customer’s written affirmative election to purchase a contract and written acknowledgement of receipt of the required disclosures is unnecessary and adds to the cost of the product. Addressing these issues would require amending the current rule. 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 shall have practical utility; VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:11 Nov 05, 2008 Jkt 217001 (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.
