WREIER-AVILES on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 56 / Monday, March 24, 2014 / Notices
endorsement of FICO and its products.
These commenters further suggested
that respondents should be given the
option to report credit scores other than
the FICO score.
While the Federal Reserve finalized
most of the revisions in September
2013, the Federal Reserve extended the
public comment period to address
industry concerns regarding credit
score-related data items. In addition, the
Federal Reserve removed the FICO score
reporting requirement from the FR Y–
14Q/M, effective December 31, 2013 and
October 31, 2013, respectively. As an
interim solution, respondents were
given an option to continue reporting
credit score segments and data items as
in prior submissions, or to submit
alternative ‘‘industry standard’’ credit
scores. Supporting documentation was
required for alternative scores,
including both the vendor and version
of the score for all FR Y–14M schedules
and, for the FR Y–14M Credit Card
schedule, detailed methodology used to
map internal scores to ‘‘industry
standard’’ scores, if applicable.
As mentioned above the Federal
Reserve did not receive any comments
on the latest Federal Register notice.
The Federal Reserve is revising the FR
Y–14Q/M for credit-score related data
items or segments in a manner
substantively similar to the interim
solution, effective with the March 31,
2014, and June 30, 2014, as of dates
respectively. In general, for credit scorerelated data items or segments,
respondents will be required to submit
a commercially available credit bureau
score. The FR Y–14Q/M instructions
will be updated to clearly define that a
commercially available credit bureau
score must: (1) Be available to all
commercial lenders and (2) provide the
Federal Reserve with sufficient
information regarding the credit score
vendor to (a) determine whether the
credit score is empirically derived and
demonstrably sound, and (b) evaluate
the performance of the credit score and
compare that performance to other
commercially available credit bureau
scores. The specific requirements
regarding these revisions are discussed
in detail below.

Consumer, International Small
Business, U.S. Small Business, and
Student Loan schedules, respondents
will be required to segment portfolios by
the credit score of the borrower at
origination, in accordance with the
current reporting requirements, using a
commercially available credit bureau
score. Segments for FICO scores will be
provided in the instructions and
segments for other scores will be
available upon request through the
respondent’s Federal Reserve Bank
Statistics contact. To support the
supervisory modeling performed using
these data, respondents will be required
to submit supporting documentation
detailing the type of credit score used to
segment the portfolio. This methodology
is the same as used in the interim
period.

For data items in the Domestic First
Lien Closed-end 1–4 Family Residential
Loan (First Lien), Domestic Home
Equity Loan and Home Equity Line
(Home Equity), and Domestic Credit
Card (Credit Card) schedules that
currently collect Origination Credit
Bureau Score and Current/Refreshed
Credit Bureau Score, respondents will
be required to report a commercially
available credit bureau score as defined.
To support the supervisory modeling
using these data, two data items will be
added to the First Lien and Home
Equity schedules for each Origination
Credit Bureau Score and Current Credit
Bureau Score item, consistent with the
supporting documentation required in
the interim solution instructions.
Specifically, the Credit Bureau Score
Vendor data items will be added to
collect information on the credit bureau
that produced the reported credit score
from a list of credit bureaus and an
‘‘Other’’ category. Also, the Credit
PO 00000
Frm 00069

Bureau Score Version data items will be
new free form fields that will collect the
version 3 of the reported credit score (or,
if ‘‘Other’’ was selected, the credit score
vendor that produced the credit score
and the associated version reported).
Also for the First Lien and Home
Equity schedules, the Current Credit
Bureau Score items, which collect
refreshed credit scores, will be changed
from optional to mandatory. This item
will enhance the Federal Reserve’s
ability to compare credit scores across
time, issuing vendors, and respondents,
consistent with the questions posed to
the industry in the final Federal
Register.
In addition, to support supervisory
modeling, the Original and Refreshed
Credit Score Name/Version items of the
Credit Card schedule will be modified
and split into two items: (1) Original
and Refreshed Credit Bureau Score
Vendor and (2) Original and Refreshed
Credit Bureau Score Version items.
These modified items are consistent
with similar items for the First Lien and
Home Equity schedules and with
supporting documentation required in
the interim solution instructions.
Finally, because proprietary scores are
used more often for credit cards, two
items regarding internal credit scores
will be added to the Credit Card
schedule for both the origination and
refreshed credit score items, consistent
with the interim solution: (1) An
Internal Refreshed Credit Score Flag
item that indicates if an internal score
was mapped to a commercially available
score; and (2) an Internal Refreshed
Credit Score Value item that collects the
internal score value used to map to the
commercially available score.

Notice.

3507(a)(1)(D) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of the
Secretary (OS), Department of Health
and Human Services, has submitted an
Information Collection Request (ICR),

Management and Budget (OMB) for

Information Collection Request Title:
The Civil Rights Information Request
Form.
OMB No.: 0945–0006.
Abstract: This request for OMB
approval of The Civil Rights Information
SUMMARY:
Request Form is for a 3 year extension.
The Civil Rights Information Request
Form is designed to collect data from
health care providers who have
requested certification to participate in
the Medicare Part A program. As part of
the Medicare certification process,
health care facilities must receive a civil
rights clearance from the Office for Civil
Rights (OCR). OCR uses the information
to determine compliance with civil
rights statutes and regulations. The civil
rights information is requested only
when a health care provider applies for
Medicare Part A certification; it is not
necessary on a regular yearly basis.
Entities that are affected by the Civil
Rights Information Request Form are:
Health care providers applying for
Medicare certification, and individuals
who, as a result of civil rights
clearances, should be granted equal
access to quality health care, regardless
of race, color, national origin, disability,
age and sex.
Need and Proposed Use of the
Information: To ensure adherence to the
statutory requirements, compliance
reviews are requested when health care
providers, such as hospitals, nursing
homes and home health agencies, apply
to participate in the Medicare Part A
program. When a provider seeks
Medicare certification, OCR conducts a
compliance review to determine
whether the provider will be able to
comply with Title VI, Section 504, and
the Age Discrimination Act. Such
reviews are an effective means of
working with health care providers
because potential civil rights concerns
can be identified prior to receipt of
Federal financial assistance. The
technical assistance available to
recipients on the OCR Web site helps
providers take steps to comply with
their obligations to refrain from
prohibited discrimination.
Likely Respondents: Healthcare
providers.
Burden Statement: In conducting a
complaint investigation or compliance
review of a health care or social service
provider, OCR determines whether a
compliance review was performed by
OCR. In many instances, the procedure
decreases the burden on the recipient
since the compliance review and
corrective actions, as necessary, may
reduce or eliminate the need for a
formal investigation involving
interviews, examination of records,
collection and submission of data
associated with issues already
addressed through a recent compliance
review certification process. To further
reduce provider burden in completing
the compliance review process, OCR has
developed several Corporate
Agreements with health care
corporations. These Agreements are
designed to expedite the civil rights
compliance review process by
implementing a practice whereby all of
a corporation’s national policies and
procedures are reviewed and approved
at OCR’s headquarters’ level.
Subsequent to such approval, only local
facility-specific information is reviewed
by OCR for civil rights compliance
during the review process.
