SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July
17, 2014, the Bureau issued the
Proposed Policy Statement. The
Proposed Policy Statement was
published in the Federal Register on
July 23, 2014. The Proposed Policy
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:28 Aug 01, 2014
Jkt 232001
Statement seeks comment, data and
information from the public on the
Bureau’s proposal to include narratives
in the Consumer Complaint Database.
On December 8, 2011, the Bureau
published in the Federal Register a
proposed policy statement describing its
plans to disclose certain data about the
credit card complaints that consumers
submit to the Bureau (December 2011
Proposed Policy Statement).1 After
receiving and considering a number of
comments, the Bureau finalized its
plans for publically disclosing data from
consumer credit card complaints and
published the final policy statement on
June 22, 2012 (June 2012 Policy
Statement).2
Also on June 22, 2012, the Bureau
concurrently published in the Federal
Register a proposed policy statement
describing its plans to disclose data
from consumer complaints about
financial products and services other
than credit cards (June 2012 Proposed
Policy Statement).3 After receiving and
considering a number of comments, the
Bureau published the final policy
statement on March 25, 2013 (March
2013 Policy Statement).4 In the June
2012 Proposed Policy Statement, the
Bureau did not propose including
narratives in the Consumer Complaint
Database.
Notwithstanding this, the Bureau
received a significant number of
comments specific to narrative
disclosure. Consumer, civil rights, and
open government groups supported
disclosure on the grounds that
disclosing narratives would provide
consumers with more useful
information on which to base financial
decisions and would allow reviewers to
assess the validity of the complaints.
Two privacy groups, while
acknowledging privacy risk stemming
from publication of ‘‘non-identifiable’’
data and calling for further study,
supported disclosure on an opt-in basis.
Trade groups and industry commenters
nearly uniformly opposed disclosure of
consumer complaint narratives.
The Bureau believes that the utility of
the overall Consumer Complaint
Database would greatly increase with
the inclusion of narratives. This could
lead to increased use by advocates,
academics, the press, and entrepreneurs,
which itself would lead to increased
consumer contacts with the Bureau.
The Bureau believes that the
aforementioned increase in benefits and
utility would lead to an increase in

FR 37616, June 22, 2012.

consumer contacts, which would have a
positive effect on Bureau operations. As
a critical mass of complaint data is
achieved and exceeded, the
representativeness of Bureau complaint
data increases. Thus, narratives would
not only enhance the above consumer
benefits but also the many Bureau
functions that rely, in part, on
complaint data to perform their
respective missions including the
Offices of Supervision, Enforcement,
and Fair Lending, Consumer Education
and Engagement, and Research,
Markets, and Rulemaking.
The Bureau balances interested
parties’ desire to have additional time to
consider the issues raised in the
Proposed Policy Statement, gather data,
and prepare their responses, with the
need to proceed expeditiously to
consider comments and determine
whether to issue a final policy
statement. The Bureau believes that a
60-day extension is appropriate. The
comment period therefore will close on
September 22, 2014.
Dated: July 29, 2014.

Deputy Chief of Staff, Bureau of Consumer
Financial Protection.
