Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; Recordkeeping and Disclosure Requirements of Regulations B, E, and M, Issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and Regulation CC, Issued by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB); Comment Request, 62767-62769 [2016-21863]

Download as PDF sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 176 / Monday, September 12, 2016 / Notices collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon employers, especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of efforts in obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657). Under the authority granted by the OSH Act, OSHA published a health regulation governing access to employee exposure monitoring data and medical records. This regulation does not require employers to collect any information or to establish any new systems of records. Rather, it requires that employers provide workers, their designated representatives, and OSHA with access to employee exposure monitoring and medical records, and any analyses resulting from these records that employers must maintain under OSHA’s toxic chemical and harmful physical agent standards. In this regard, the regulation specifies requirements for record access, record retention, worker information, trade secret management, and record transfer. Accordingly, the Agency attributes the burden hours and costs associated with exposure monitoring and measurement, medical surveillance, and the other activities required to generate the data governed by the regulation to the health standards that specify these activities; therefore, OSHA did not include these burden hours and costs in this ICR. Access to exposure and medical information enables employees and their designated representatives to become directly involved in identifying and controlling occupational health hazards, as well as managing and preventing occupationally-related health impairment and disease. Providing the Agency with access to the records permits it to ascertain whether or not employers are complying with the regulation, as well as with the recordkeeping requirements of its other health standards; therefore, OSHA access provides additional assurance that workers and their designated representatives are able to obtain the data they need to conduct their analyses. II. Special Issues for Comment OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:40 Sep 09, 2016 Jkt 238001 • Whether the proposed collection of information requirements are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency’s functions, including whether the information is useful; • The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of the burden (time and costs) of the collection of information requirements, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • The quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and • Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply; for example, by using automated or other technological information collection and transmission techniques. III. Proposed Actions The Agency is requesting an adjustment decrease of 14,477 burden hours (from 730,515 to 716,038 burden hours). The decrease is the result of an adjustment in the number of establishments used in this analysis decreasing from 759,668 to 739,432, a total adjustment of 20,236. Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection. Title: Access to Employee Exposure and Medical Records (29 CFR 1910.1020). OMB Control Number: 1218–0065.

Abstract and Request for Comments This information collection request provides for the application of three CFPB rules and one FRB rule. NCUA has enforcement responsibility for these rules for federal credit unions. These rules are: • Regulation B (‘‘Equal Credit Opportunity Act,’’ 12 CFR part 1002); • Regulation E (‘‘Electronic Fund Transfers,’’ 12 CFR part 1005); • Regulation M (‘‘Consumer Leasing,’’ 12 CFR part 1013); and • Regulation CC (‘‘Availability of Funds and Collection of Checks,’’ 12 CFR part 229). sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES Regulation B—12 CFR Part 1002—Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) (15 U.S.C. 1691) The ECOA was enacted in 1974 and is implemented by Regulation B. ECOA and Regulation B prohibit lenders from discriminating in any aspect of a credit transaction on the basis of the applicant’s sex, marital status, race, color, religion, national origin, or age. It also prohibits discrimination because an applicant’s income is derived from a public assistance program, or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act (Pub.L. 90–321, 82 Stat.146). The regulation establishes guidelines for gathering and evaluating information about personal characteristics in applications for certain dwelling-related loans, requires lenders to provide VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:40 Sep 09, 2016 Jkt 238001 applicants with certain information including copies of appraisal reports in connection with credit transactions, and requires written notification of action taken on a credit application. The regulation contains rules relating to the use of co-signers. The regulation also requires spousal information to be reported to consumer reporting agencies to reflect participation of both spouses. Regulation E—12 CFR Part 1005— Electronic Fund Transfers (Electronic Fund Transfer Act, 15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq.) The Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) was enacted in 1978 and is implemented by Regulation E. The EFTA and Regulation E establish the rights, liabilities, and responsibilities of parties in electronic fund transfer (EFT) services and offer protections to consumers when they use such systems. The disclosures required by this regulation are designed to ensure consumer receive adequate disclosure of basic terms, costs, and rights relating to EFT services provided to them so that they can make informed decisions. Credit unions offering EFT services must disclose certain information to consumers including the following: Initial and updated EFT terms, transaction information, the consumer’s potential liability for unauthorized transfers, and error resolution rights and procedures. The regulation also covers change-in-terms notices if the change would result in increased liability for the consumer, increased fees, fewer types of available EFTs, or stricter limitations on the frequency or dollar amounts of transfers; disclosures related to loyalty, award, or promotional gift cards; and requirements for gift card and gift certificate exclusions, prohibition on sale of gift certificates or cards with expiration dates, and other certificate and card disclosures. Subpart B of the regulation covers activities of remittance transfer providers. Regulation M—12 CFR Part 1013— Consumer Leasing (Consumer Leasing Act, 15 U.S.C. 1667–1667f) The Consumer Leasing Act (CLA) was enacted in 1976 as an amendment to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA). The CLA and Regulation M are intended to provide consumers with meaningful disclosures about the costs and terms of leases for personal property. The disclosures enable consumers to compare the terms for a particular lease with those for other leases and, when appropriate, to compare lease terms with those for credit transactions. The CLA and Regulation M also contain rules about advertising consumer leases PO 00000 Frm 00068 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and limit the size of balloon payments in consumer lease transactions. The CLA and regulation M requires lessors to disclose to consumers uniformly the costs, liabilities, and terms of consumer lease transactions. Disclosures are provided to consumers before they enter into lease transactions and in advertisements that state the availability of consumer leases on particular terms. The regulation generally applies to consumer leases of personal property in which the contractual obligation does not exceed $54,600 1 and has a term of more than four months. Regulation CC—12 CFR Part 229— Availability of Funds and Collection of Checks (Expedited Funds Availability Act, 12 U.S.C. 4001–4010 and the Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, 12 U.S.C. 5001–5018) This regulation establishes timeframes to govern the availability of funds deposited in checking accounts, rules to govern the collection and return of checks, and general provisions to govern the use of substitute checks. The regulation has consumer protection disclosure requirements and requires credit unions to make funds deposited in transaction accounts available within specified time periods, disclose their availability policies to customers, and begin accruing interest on such deposit promptly. The disclosures are intended to alert customers that their ability to used deposited funds may be delayed, prevent unintentional (and costly) overdrafts, and allow customers to compare the policies of different institutions before deciding at which institution to deposit funds. The regulation also requires notice to the depositary bank and to a customer of nonpayment of a check. Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for Office of Management and Budget approval. All comments will become a matter of public record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract and Request for Comments

    This information collection request provides for the application of 
three CFPB rules and one FRB rule. NCUA has enforcement responsibility 
for these rules for federal credit unions. These rules are:
     Regulation B (``Equal Credit Opportunity Act,'' 12 CFR 
part 1002);
     Regulation E (``Electronic Fund Transfers,'' 12 CFR part 
1005);
     Regulation M (``Consumer Leasing,'' 12 CFR part 1013); and
     Regulation CC (``Availability of Funds and Collection of 
Checks,'' 12 CFR part 229).

Regulation B--12 CFR Part 1002--Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) (15 
U.S.C. 1691)

    The ECOA was enacted in 1974 and is implemented by Regulation B. 
ECOA and Regulation B prohibit lenders from discriminating in any 
aspect of a credit transaction on the basis of the applicant's sex, 
marital status, race, color, religion, national origin, or age. It also 
prohibits discrimination because an applicant's income is derived from 
a public assistance program, or because the applicant has in good faith 
exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act (Pub.L. 
90-321, 82 Stat.146).
    The regulation establishes guidelines for gathering and evaluating 
information about personal characteristics in applications for certain 
dwelling-related loans, requires lenders to provide applicants with 
certain information including copies of appraisal reports in connection 
with credit transactions, and requires written notification of action 
taken on a credit application. The regulation contains rules relating 
to the use of co-signers. The regulation also requires spousal 
information to be reported to consumer reporting agencies to reflect 
participation of both spouses.

Regulation E--12 CFR Part 1005--Electronic Fund Transfers (Electronic 
Fund Transfer Act, 15 U.S.C. 1693 et seq.)

    The Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA) was enacted in 1978 and is 
implemented by Regulation E. The EFTA and Regulation E establish the 
rights, liabilities, and responsibilities of parties in electronic fund 
transfer (EFT) services and offer protections to consumers when they 
use such systems. The disclosures required by this regulation are 
designed to ensure consumer receive adequate disclosure of basic terms, 
costs, and rights relating to EFT services provided to them so that 
they can make informed decisions. Credit unions offering EFT services 
must disclose certain information to consumers including the following: 
Initial and updated EFT terms, transaction information, the consumer's 
potential liability for unauthorized transfers, and error resolution 
rights and procedures. The regulation also covers change-in-terms 
notices if the change would result in increased liability for the 
consumer, increased fees, fewer types of available EFTs, or stricter 
limitations on the frequency or dollar amounts of transfers; 
disclosures related to loyalty, award, or promotional gift cards; and 
requirements for gift card and gift certificate exclusions, prohibition 
on sale of gift certificates or cards with expiration dates, and other 
certificate and card disclosures. Subpart B of the regulation covers 
activities of remittance transfer providers.

Regulation M--12 CFR Part 1013--Consumer Leasing (Consumer Leasing Act, 
15 U.S.C. 1667-1667f)

    The Consumer Leasing Act (CLA) was enacted in 1976 as an amendment 
to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA). The CLA and Regulation M are 
intended to provide consumers with meaningful disclosures about the 
costs and terms of leases for personal property. The disclosures enable 
consumers to compare the terms for a particular lease with those for 
other leases and, when appropriate, to compare lease terms with those 
for credit transactions. The CLA and Regulation M also contain rules 
about advertising consumer leases and limit the size of balloon 
payments in consumer lease transactions. The CLA and regulation M 
requires lessors to disclose to consumers uniformly the costs, 
liabilities, and terms of consumer lease transactions. Disclosures are 
provided to consumers before they enter into lease transactions and in 
advertisements that state the availability of consumer leases on 
particular terms. The regulation generally applies to consumer leases 
of personal property in which the contractual obligation does not 
exceed $54,600 \1\ and has a term of more than four months.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The threshold amount is adjusted annually to reflect 
increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and 
Clerical Workers (Sec.  1013.1(e)(1)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regulation CC--12 CFR Part 229--Availability of Funds and Collection of 
Checks (Expedited Funds Availability Act, 12 U.S.C. 4001-4010 and the 
Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, 12 U.S.C. 5001-5018)

    This regulation establishes timeframes to govern the availability 
of funds deposited in checking accounts, rules to govern the collection 
and return of checks, and general provisions to govern the use of 
substitute checks. The regulation has consumer protection disclosure 
requirements and requires credit unions to make funds deposited in 
transaction accounts available within specified time periods, disclose 
their availability policies to customers, and begin accruing interest 
on such deposit promptly. The disclosures are intended to alert 
customers that their ability to used deposited funds may be delayed, 
prevent unintentional (and costly) overdrafts, and allow customers to 
compare the policies of different institutions before deciding at which 
institution to deposit funds. The regulation also requires notice to 
the depositary bank and to a customer of nonpayment of a check.
    Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized 
and included in the request for Office of Management and Budget 
approval. All comments will become a matter of public record. The 
public is invited to submit comments concerning: (a) Whether the 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the function of the agency, including whether the information will have 
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
