jointly (i) guidelines for financial
institutions and creditors regarding

soundness of the institution or creditor;
and (iii) regulations generally requiring
credit and debit card issuers to assess
the validity of change of address
requests under certain circumstances.
Section 315 amended section 605 of the
FCRA to require the Agencies to issue
regulations providing guidance
regarding reasonable policies and
procedures that a user of consumer
reports must employ when a user
receives a notice of address discrepancy
from a consumer reporting agency
(CRA).
The information collections in § 41.90
require each financial institution and
creditor that offers or maintains one or
more covered accounts to develop and
implement a written Identity Theft
Prevention Program (Program). In
developing the Program, financial
institutions and creditors are required to
consider the guidelines in Appendix J to
part 41 and include those that are
appropriate. The initial Program must
be approved by the board of directors or
an appropriate committee thereof and
the board, an appropriate committee
thereof or a designated employee at the
level of senior management must be
involved in the oversight of the
Program. In addition, staff must be
trained to carry out the Program.
Pursuant to § 41.91, each credit and
debit card issuer is required to establish
and implement policies and procedures
to assess the validity of a change of
address request under certain
circumstances. Before issuing an
additional or replacement card, the card
issuer must notify the cardholder or use
another means to assess the validity of
the change of address.
The information collections in § 41.82
require each user of consumer reports to
develop and implement reasonable
policies and procedures designed to
enable the user to form a reasonable
belief that a consumer report relates to
the consumer about whom it requested
the report when the user receives a
notice of address discrepancy from a
CRA. A user of consumer reports must
also develop and implement reasonable
policies and procedures for furnishing
an address for the consumer that the
user has reasonably confirmed to be
accurate to the CRA from which it
receives a notice of address discrepancy
when (1) the user can form a reasonable
belief that the consumer report relates to
the consumer about whom the user has
requested the report; (2) the user
establishes a continuing relationship
with the consumer; and (3) the user
regularly and in the ordinary course of
business furnishes information to the
CRA from which it received the notice
of address discrepancy.
