On November 12, 2013, the
Bureau of Consumer Financial

Federal Register an Advance Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking about debt
collection practices (Debt Collection
ANPR). The Debt Collection ANPR
allowed a 90-day comment period,
closing on February 10, 2014. To allow
interested persons more time to
consider and craft their responses, the
Bureau has determined that an
extension of the comment period until
February 28, 2014 is appropriate.
DATES: The comment period for the Debt
Collection ANPR published November
12, 2013, at 78 FR 67868, is extended.
Responses must now be received on or
before February 28, 2014.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,

make an appointment to inspect the
documents by calling (202) 435–7275.
All comments submitted through the
formal means described above,
including attachments and other
supporting materials, will become part
of the public record and subject to
public disclosure. Sensitive personal
information, such as account numbers
or Social Security numbers, should not
be included. Comments will not be
edited to remove any identifying or
contact information.
E-Rulemaking Initiative: The Bureau
is working with the Cornell eRulemaking Initiative (CeRI) on a pilot
project, RegulationRoom
(www.RegulationRoom.org), that uses
web technologies and approaches to
enhance public understanding and
effective participation. This ANPR on
debt collection is a focus of the project.
RegulationRoom is set up to make it
easier for consumers and others to
understand what the Bureau is
considering, to share their information,
experiences, and concerns, and to
discuss possible ideas and solutions.
Note that RegulationRoom is not an
official United States Government Web
site. Although comments made on that
site are not formal comments like those
submitted through the means identified
above, the discussion on
RegulationRoom will be captured
through a detailed summary, which
participants will have the chance to
review and suggest revisions. This
summary will be filed as a formal
comment on Regulations.gov. For
questions about this project, please
contact Whitney Patross, Counsel,
Office of Regulations, at (202) 435–7700.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
general inquiries, submission process
questions, or any additional
information, please contact Monica
Jackson, Office of the Executive
Secretary, 202–435–7275.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 12, 2013, the Bureau
published the Debt Collection ANPR in
the Federal Register. The Debt
Collection ANPR seeks comment, data
and information from the public about
debt collection practices.
The comment period for the Debt
Collection ANPR was to close on
February 10, 2014.
The Bureau has received three formal
written requests from industry trade
groups for an extension of the Debt
Collection ANPR comment period. The
request letters indicated more time
would enable a higher quality response
and yield greater insight to the Bureau.
The Bureau has also received informal

inquiries from other types of
stakeholders expressing an interest in
having more time to compile
information in response to the ANPR.
The Bureau has carefully balanced
interested persons’ desire to have more
time to consider the issues raised in the
Debt Collection ANPR, gather data, and
prepare their responses, with the fact
that this is the first of what the Bureau
expects to be many opportunities for
public input over time. Accordingly, the
Bureau is extending the period allotted
for comments received pursuant to the
Debt Collection ANPR. The comment
period will now close on February 28,
2014.
Dated: January 6, 2014.

Director, Bureau of Consumer Financial
Protection.
