ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The FTC intends to ask the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) to extend through November 30, 2015, the current Paperwork Reduction Act (‘‘PRA’’) clearance for the FTC’s shared enforcement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (‘‘CFPB’’) of the information collection requirements in subpart N of Regulation V.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tiffany George, Attorney, Division of Privacy and Identity Protection, Bureau of Consumer Protection, (202) 326– 3040, 600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20580. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act 1 transferred rulemaking authority for several consumer financial protection laws to the CFPB. Accordingly, the Commission rescinded several rules under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including the FTC’s Free Annual File Disclosures Rule that appeared under 16 CFR Parts 610 and 698. On December 21, 2011, the CFPB issued an interim final rule, Regulation V (Fair Credit Reporting), 12 CFR Part 1022, which incorporated within its subpart N (Duties of Consumer Reporting Agencies Regarding Disclosures to Consumers), with only minor changes (non-substantive, technical, formatting, and stylistic), the former Free Annual File Disclosures Rule, and in Appendix L to Part 1022, the associated model notice.2 Subpart N of Regulation V continues the disclosure requirements that had existed under the Free Annual File Disclosures Rule. Because the FTC shares enforcement authority with the CFPB for subpart N, the two agencies have split between them the related estimate of PRA burden for firms under their co-enforcement jurisdiction. Subpart N requires nationwide consumer reporting agencies and nationwide consumer specialty reporting agencies to provide to consumers, upon request, one free file disclosure within any 12-month period. Generally, it requires the nationwide consumer reporting agencies, as defined in Section 603(p) of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681a(p), to create and operate a centralized source that provides SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION consumers with the ability to request their free annual file disclosures from each of the nationwide consumer reporting agencies through a centralized Internet Web site, toll-free telephone number, and postal address. Subpart N also requires the nationwide consumer reporting agencies to establish a standardized form for Internet and mail requests for annual file disclosures, and provides a model standardized form that may be used to comply with that requirement. It additionally requires nationwide specialty consumer reporting agencies, as defined in Section 603(w) of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681a(w), to establish a streamlined process for consumers to request annual file disclosures. This streamlined process must include a toll-free telephone number for consumers to make such requests. On August 20, 2012, the FTC sought public comment on the information collection requirements associated with subpart N. No comments were received. Pursuant to the OMB regulations, 5 CFR Part 1320, that implement the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., the FTC is providing this second opportunity for public comment while seeking OMB approval to renew the pre-existing clearance for the Rule. Burden Statement: On August 20, 2012, the FTC sought public comment on the information collection requirements associated with subpart N (August 20, 2012 Notice 3) and the FTC’s associated PRA burden analysis. No comments were received. Pursuant to the OMB regulations, 5 CFR Part 1320, that implement the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., the FTC is providing this second opportunity for public comment while seeking OMB approval to renew the preexisting clearance for the Rule. As before, the Commission specifically seeks more recent estimates of the number of requests consumers are making for free annual file disclosures. In addition to data on the number of requests, data on how the number of requests has changed over time, and how these requests are being received— by Internet, phone, or by mail—would be most helpful toward refining the FTC’s burden estimates.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform 
and Consumer Protection Act \1\ transferred rulemaking authority for 
several consumer financial protection laws to the CFPB. Accordingly, 
the Commission rescinded several rules under the Fair Credit Reporting 
Act, including the FTC's Free Annual File Disclosures Rule that 
appeared under 16 CFR Parts 610 and 698.

sections 1001-1100H (collectively, the ``Consumer Financial 
Protection Act of 2010'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 21, 2011, the CFPB issued an interim final rule, 
Regulation V (Fair Credit Reporting), 12 CFR Part 1022, which 
incorporated within its subpart N (Duties of Consumer Reporting 
Agencies Regarding Disclosures to Consumers), with only minor changes

disclosure requirements that had existed under the Free Annual File 
Disclosures Rule. Because the FTC shares enforcement authority with the 
CFPB for subpart N, the two agencies have split between them the 
related estimate of PRA burden for firms under their co-enforcement 
jurisdiction.

    Subpart N requires nationwide consumer reporting agencies and 
nationwide consumer specialty reporting agencies to provide to 
consumers, upon request, one free file disclosure within any 12-month 
period. Generally, it requires the nationwide consumer reporting 
agencies, as defined in Section 603(p) of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681a(p), 
to create and operate a centralized source that provides consumers with 
the ability to request their free annual file disclosures from each of 
the nationwide consumer reporting agencies through a centralized 
Internet Web site, toll-free telephone number, and postal address. 
Subpart N also requires the nationwide consumer reporting agencies to 
establish a standardized form for Internet and mail requests for annual 
file disclosures, and provides a model standardized form that may be 
used to comply with that requirement. It additionally requires 
nationwide specialty consumer reporting agencies, as defined in Section 
603(w) of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681a(w), to establish a streamlined 
process for consumers to request annual file disclosures. This 
streamlined process must include a toll-free telephone number for 
consumers to make such requests.
    On August 20, 2012, the FTC sought public comment on the 
information collection requirements associated with subpart N. No 
comments were received. Pursuant to the OMB regulations, 5 CFR Part 
1320, that implement the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., the FTC is 
providing this second opportunity for public comment while seeking OMB 
approval to renew the pre-existing clearance for the Rule.
    Burden Statement: On August 20, 2012, the FTC sought public comment 
on the information collection requirements associated with subpart N 
(August 20, 2012 Notice \3\) and the FTC's associated PRA burden 
analysis. No comments were received. Pursuant to the OMB regulations, 5 
CFR Part 1320, that implement the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., the FTC

number of requests consumers are making for free annual file 
disclosures. In addition to data on the number of requests, data on how
