ACTION: Notice of Proposed Privacy Act System of Records.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the 
Departmental Offices, U.S. Department of the Treasury (``Treasury'') 
gives notice of the establishment of one Privacy Act System of Records.

DATES: Comments must be received no later than January 31, 2011. The 
new system of records will be effective January 31, 2011 unless the

Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Implementation Team, 1801 L Street,

    Comments will be made available for inspection upon written 
request. Treasury will make such comments available for public 
inspection and copying in Treasury's Library, Room 1428, Main Treasury 
Building, 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20220, on 
official business days between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Eastern

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Claire Stapleton, Consumer Financial 
Protection Bureau Implementation Team, 1801 L Street, NW., Washington,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 
Consumer Protection Act (``Act''), Public Law 111-203, Title X, 
established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Once fully 
operational, CFPB will administer, enforce and implement Federal 
consumer financial protection laws, and, among other powers, will have 
authority to protect consumers from unfair, deceptive, and abusive 
practices when obtaining consumer financial products or services. The 
Act grants Treasury certain ``interim authority'' to help stand up the 
agency. The CFPB implementation team, currently within Treasury, will 
maintain the records covered by this Notice.
    The new systems of records described in this Notice, Treasury/
DO.320--CFPB Implementation Team Mailing List Database will focus on 
collecting mailing list information on individuals who have indicated 
an interest in receiving information from CFPB concerning CFPB and its 
initiatives and activities. A description of the new system of records 
follows this Notice.
    The report of a new system of records has been submitted to the 
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of 
Representatives, the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental 
Affairs of the Senate, and the Office of Management and Budget, 
pursuant to Appendix I to OMB Circular A-130, ``Federal Agency 
Responsibilities for Maintaining Records About Individuals,'' dated 
November 30, 2000, and the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a(r).
    The system of records entitled ``Treasury/DO.320--CFPB 
Implementation Team Mailing List Database'' is published in its 
entirety below.
