Background
Section 615(d) of the Fair Credit
Reporting Act (‘‘FCRA’’), 15 U.S.C.
1681m(d)(1), requires that any person
who uses a consumer report in order to
make an unsolicited firm offer of credit
or insurance to the consumer, shall
provide with each written solicitation a
clear and conspicuous statement that:
(A) information contained in the
consumer’s consumer report was used
in connection with the transaction;
(B) the consumer received the offer of
credit or insurance because the
consumer satisfied the criteria for
credit worthiness or insurability
under which the consumer was
selected for the offer; (C) if applicable,
the credit or insurance may not be
extended if, after the consumer
Commission’s General Counsel, consistent with
applicable law and the public interest. See FTC
Rule 4.9(c), 16 CFR 4.9(c).

responds to the offer, the consumer
does not meet the criteria used to
select the consumer for the offer or
any applicable criteria bearing on
credit worthiness or insurability or
does not furnish any required
collateral; (D) the consumer has a
right to prohibit information
contained in the consumer’s file with
any consumer reporting agency from
being used in connection with any
credit or insurance transaction that is
not initiated by the consumer; and (E)
the consumer may exercise the right
referred to in subparagraph (D) by
notifying a notification system
established under section 604(e) [of
the FCRA].
Section 615(d)(1) of the FCRA [15 U.S.C.
1681m(d)(1)].
The Fair and Accurate Credit
Transactions Act of 2003, Pub. L. 108159, 117 Stat. 1952 (‘‘FACT Act’’) was
signed into law on December 4, 2003.
Section 213(a) of the FACT Act
amended FCRA Section 615(d) to
require that the statement mandated by
Section 615(d) ‘‘be presented in such
format and in such type size and
manner as to be simple and easy to
understand, as established by the
Commission, by rule, in consultation
with the Federal banking agencies and
the National Credit Union
Administration.’’ The Commission
published the Final Rule in the Federal
Register on January 31, 2005 and the
Rule became effective August 1, 2005.
The Rule adopted a ‘‘layered’’ notice
approach that requires a short, simple,
and easy-to-understand statement of
consumers’ opt-out rights on the first
page of the prescreened solicitation,
along with a longer statement
containing additional details elsewhere
in the solicitation. Specifically, the Rule
required that a short notice be placed on
the front side of the first page of the
principal promotional document in the
solicitation, or, if provided
electronically, on the same page and in
close proximity to the principal
marketing message. The Rule specifies
that the type size be larger than the type
size of the principal text on the same
page, but in no event smaller than 12point type, or if provided by electronic
means, then reasonable steps shall be
taken to ensure that the type size is
larger than the type size of the principal
text on the same page. The Rule further
provides that the long notice, that
appears elsewhere in the solicitation, be
in a type size that is no smaller than the
type size of the principal text on the
same page, but in no event smaller than
8-point type. The long notice shall begin
with a heading in capital letters and
underlined, and identifying the long

notice as the ‘‘PRESCREEN & OPT-OUT
NOTICE’’ in a type style that is distinct
from the principal type style used on
the same page and be set apart from
other text on the page. The Rule also
includes model notices in English and
Spanish.
Burden statement
Estimated total annual hours burden:
1,000 to 1,500 hours
As in the 2007 PRA burden analysis
when the Commission last sought
renewed clearance,2 FTC staff estimates
that between 500 and 750 entities make
prescreened solicitations and will each
spend approximately 2 hours to monitor
compliance with the Rule. Accordingly,
cumulative total annual burden is
between 1,000 to 1,500 hours.
Additionally, FTC staff assumes that inhouse legal counsel will handle most of
the compliance review, and at an
estimated average hourly wage of $250/
hour. Accordingly, cumulative labor
cost for all affected entities would be
between $250,000 and $375,000. Capital
and other non-labor costs should be
minimal, at most, since the Rule has
been in effect several years, with
covered entities now equipped to
provide the required notice.

Acting General Counsel.
