Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 37 / Wednesday, February 25, 2015 / Notices
Thus, CSI includes any workpapers or
other documentation that CFPB
examiners have prepared in the course
of an examination. CSI also includes
supervisory information requests from
the CFPB to a supervised financial
institution, along with the institution’s
responses. In addition, any CFPB
supervisory actions, such as memoranda
of understanding between the CFPB and
an institution, and related submissions
and correspondence, are CSI.
C. Disclosure of Confidential
Information Generally Prohibited
Subject to limited exceptions,
supervised financial institutions and
other persons in possession of CSI of the
CFPB may not disclose such
information.14
D. Exceptions to General Prohibition on
Disclosure of CSI
There are certain exceptions to the
general prohibition against disclosing
CSI to third parties. A supervised
financial institution may disclose CSI of
the CFPB lawfully in its possession to:
• Its affiliates;
• Its directors, officers, trustees,
members, general partners, or
employees, to the extent that the
disclosure of such CSI is relevant to the
performance of such individuals’
assigned duties;
• The directors, officers, trustees,
members, general partners, or
employees of its affiliates, to the extent
that the disclosure of such CSI is
relevant to the performance of such
individuals’ assigned duties;
• Its certified public accountant, legal
counsel, contractor, consultant, or
service provider.15
Supervised financial institutions may
also in certain instances disclose CSI to
others with the prior written approval of
the Associate Director for Supervision,
Enforcement, and Fair Lending, or his or
her delegee (Associate Director).16 The
recipient of CSI shall not, without the
prior written approval of the Associate
asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
14 See
12 CFR 1070.41(a) (providing that ‘‘[e]xcept
as required by law or as provided in this part, no
. . . person in possession of confidential
information[] shall disclose such confidential
information by any means (including written or oral
communications) or in any format (including paper
and electronic formats), to: (1) [a]ny person who is
not an employee, contractor, or consultant of the
CFPB; or (2) [a]ny CFPB employee, contractor, or
consultant when the disclosure of such confidential
information . . . is not relevant to the performance
of the employee’s, contractor’s, or consultant’s
assigned duties’’); see also 12 CFR 1070.42(b)
(setting forth exceptions relating to the disclosure
of ‘‘confidential supervisory information of the
CFPB’’ which is ‘‘lawfully in [the] possession’’ of
any ‘‘supervised financial institution’’).
15 12 CFR 1070.42(b).
16 12 CFR 1070.42(b)(2)(ii).

Director, utilize, make, or retain copies
of, or disclose CSI for any purpose,
except as is necessary to provide advice
or services to the supervised financial
institution or its affiliate.17 Moreover,
any supervised financial institution or
affiliate disclosing CSI shall take
reasonable steps as specified in the
regulations to ensure that the recipient
complies with the rules governing CSI.18
Confidential information made
available by the CFPB pursuant to 12
CFR part 1070 remains the property of
the CFPB. There are other important
requirements relating to the disclosure
of confidential information, including
disclosure pursuant to third-party
legally enforceable demands, such as
subpoenas or Freedom of Information
Act requests. Among a number of other
requirements, a recipient of a demand
for confidential information must
inform the CFPB’s General Counsel of
the demand.19
E. NDAs Do Not Supersede Federal
Legal Requirements
The CFPB recognizes that some
supervised financial institutions may
have entered into third-party NDAs that,
in part, purport to: (1) Restrict the
supervised financial institution from
sharing certain information with a
supervisory agency; and/or (2) require
the supervised financial institution to
advise the third party when the
institution shares with a supervisory
agency information subject to the NDA.
However, such provisions in NDAs
between supervised financial
institutions and third parties do not
alter or limit the CFPB’s supervisory
authority or the supervised financial
institution’s obligations relating to CSI.
A supervised financial institution
should not attempt to use an NDA as the
basis for failing to provide information
sought pursuant to supervisory
authority. The CFPB has the authority to
require supervised financial institutions
and certain other persons to provide it
with reports and other information to
conduct supervisory activities, pursuant
to the Dodd-Frank Act.20 Failure to
provide information required by the
CFPB is a violation of law for which the
CFPB will pursue all available
remedies.21
17 12
CFR 1070.42(b)(3)(i).
18 12 CFR 1070.42(b)(3)(ii).
19 12 CFR 1070.47.
20 12 U.S.C. 5514, 5515.
21 See 12 U.S.C. 5536(a)(2) (making it unlawful for
a supervised financial institution ‘‘to fail or refuse,
as required by Federal consumer financial law, or
any rule or order issued by the CFPB thereunder—
(A) to permit access to or copying of records; . . .
or (C) to make reports or provide information to the
Bureau.’’).

Sfmt 4703

In addition, a supervised financial
institution may risk violating the law if
it relies upon provisions of an NDA to
justify disclosing CSI in a manner not
otherwise permitted. As noted above,
any disclosure of CSI outside of the
applicable exceptions would require the
prior written approval of the Associate
Director for Supervision, Enforcement,
and Fair Lending (or his or her
delegee).22
Supervised financial institutions
should contact appropriate CFPB
supervisory personnel with any
questions regarding this Bulletin.
III. Regulatory Requirements
This compliance bulletin provides
nonbinding guidance on matters
including limitations on disclosure of
CSI under applicable law. It is therefore
exempt from the notice and comment
rulemaking requirements under the
Administrative Procedure Act pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 553(b). Because no notice of
proposed rulemaking is required, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act does not
require an initial or final regulatory
flexibility analysis.23 In addition, the
CFPB has determined that this bulletin
summarizes existing requirements and
does not establish any new nor revise
any existing recordkeeping, reporting, or
disclosure requirements on covered
entities or members of the public that
would be collections of information
requiring OMB approval under the
Paperwork Reduction Act.24
