Request for Comment on Information
Collection Proposal
The Board invites public comment on
the following information collection,
which is being reviewed under
authority delegated by the OMB under
the PRA. Comments are invited on the
following:
a. Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the Federal Reserve’s
functions; including whether the
information has practical utility;
b. The accuracy of the Federal
Reserve’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
c. Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
d. Ways to minimize the burden of
information collection on respondents,
including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology; and

should modify the proposal prior to
giving final approval.
Proposal to approve under OMB
delegated authority the extension for
three years, without revision, of the
following report:
Report title: Disclosure Requirements
Associated with CFPB’s Regulation DD
(Truth in Savings Act (TISA)).
Agency form number: FR DD.
OMB control number: 7100–0271.
Frequency: Monthly.
Respondents: State member banks,
branches and agencies of foreign banks
(other than federal branches, federal
agencies, and insured state branches of
foreign banks), commercial lending
companies owned or controlled by
foreign banks, and organizations
operating under section 25 or 25A of the
Federal Reserve Act.
Estimated number of respondents:
936.
Estimated average hours per response:
Account disclosures, 1 hour; Change in
terms notices, 1.5 hours; Notices prior to
maturity, 1.5 hours; Periodic statement
disclosure, 8 hours; and Advertising, 30
minutes.
Estimated annual burden hours:
Account disclosures: 11,232 hours;
Change in terms notices: 16,848 hours;
Notices prior to maturity: 16,848 hours;
Periodic statement disclosure: 89,856
hours; and Advertising: 5,616 hours.
General description of report: TISA
was contained in the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation Improvement Act
of 1991. The purpose of TISA and its
implementing regulation is to assist
consumers in comparing deposit
accounts offered by institutions,
principally through the disclosure of
fees, the annual percentage yield (APY),
and other account terms. TISA requires
depository institutions to disclose key
terms for deposit accounts at account
opening, upon request, when certain
changes in terms occur, and in periodic
statements. It also includes rules about
advertising for deposit accounts. TISA
does not provide exemptions from
compliance for small institutions.
Legal authorization and
confidentiality: The Board’s Legal
Division has determined that section
269 of TISA specifically authorizes the
CFPB ‘‘to prescribe regulations’’ to carry
out the purposes and provisions of the
Act, as well as to adopt model forms
and clauses for common disclosures to
facilitate compliance (12 U.S.C. 4308).
FR DD implements this statutory
provision (12 CFR part 1030). The
Board’s imposition of the disclosure
requirements on Board-supervised
institutions is authorized by Section 270
of TISA, 12 U.S.C. 4309, and the
provisions of Regulation DD (12 CFR
PO 00000
Frm 00057
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
55609
1030.1(a), 1030.2(j)). An institution’s
disclosure obligations under Regulation
DD are mandatory. The Board does not
collect any information; therefore, no
issue of confidentiality arises.
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, November 17, 2017.
Ann E. Misback,
Secretary of the Board.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to the OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments that will help:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the

4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
5. Assess information collection costs.

Jkt 244001
Control No. 0920–0743, Exp. 9/30/
2016)—Reinstatement with change—
Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity,
and Obesity (DNPAO), National Center
for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Substantial evidence demonstrates the
social, economic, and health benefits of
breastfeeding for both the mother and
infant as well as for society in general.
Breastfeeding mothers have lower risks
of breast and ovarian cancers and type
2 diabetes, and breastfeeding better
protects infants against infections,
chronic diseases like diabetes and
obesity, and even childhood leukemia
and sudden infant death syndrome
(SIDS). However, the groups that are at
higher risk for diabetes, obesity, and
poor health overall persistently have the
lowest breastfeeding rates.
Health professionals recommend at
least 12 months of breastfeeding, and
Healthy People 2020 establishes specific
national breastfeeding goals. In addition
to increasing overall rates, a significant
public health priority in the U.S. is to
reduce variation in breastfeeding rates
across population subgroups. Although
CDC surveillance data indicate that
breastfeeding initiation rates in the
United States are climbing, rates for
duration and exclusivity continue to lag,
and significant disparities persist
between African American and white
women in breastfeeding rates.
The health care system is one of the
most important and effective settings to
improve breastfeeding. Recognition of
the hospital stay as a crucial influence
in later breastfeeding outcomes led to
the addition of two objectives in
Healthy People 2020 to allow national
monitoring of improvements in support
for breastfeeding during this time. In
2007, CDC conducted the first national
survey of Maternity Practices in Infant
Nutrition and Care (known as the
mPINC Survey) in health care facilities
(hospitals and free-standing childbirth
centers). CDC designed this biennial
survey to provide baseline information.
CDC also conducted the survey in 2009,
2011, 2013, and 2015. The survey
inquired about patient education and
support for breastfeeding throughout the
maternity stay as well as staff training
and maternity care policies.
Prior to the fielding of the 2009
iteration, OMB requested that CDC
provide a report to OMB on the results
of the 2007 collection. In this report,
CDC provided survey results by
geographic and demographic
characteristics and a summary of
PO 00000
Frm 00058
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
activities that resulted from the survey.
A summary of mPINC findings was also
the anchor of all activities related to the
CDC August 2011 Vital Signs activity,
marking the first time that CDC
highlighted improving hospital
maternity practices as the CDC-wide
public health priority. A summary of
mPINC findings provided the basis of
the CDC October 2015 Vital Signs
report, which updated the 2011 Vital
Signs report and concluded that
although maternity care policies and
practices supportive of breastfeeding are
improving nationally; more work is
needed to ensure all women receive
optimal breastfeeding support during
the birth hospitalization.
The 2018 and 2020 mPINC surveys
will closely match those used before
(2007, 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2015) in
methodology and administration but
CDC updated the content of the survey
to reflect changes in maternity care over
time. A major strength of the mPINC
survey is its structure as an ongoing
national census, which does not employ
sampling methods. CDC uses the
American Hospital Association (AHA)
Annual Survey of Hospitals to identify
potential participating facilities.
Facilities invited to participate in the
survey include hospitals that
participated in previous iterations and
those that received an invite but did not
participate in the previous iterations, as
well as those that have become eligible
since the most recent mPINC survey.
CDC will screen all hospitals with one
or more registered maternity beds via a
brief phone call to assess their
eligibility, identify additional satellite
locations, and identify the appropriate
point of contact. The high response rates
to the previous iterations of the mPINC
survey (82–83% in 2007, 2009, 2011,
2013, and 2015) indicate that the
methodology is appropriate and reflects
high interest among the study
population.
As with the initial surveys, a major
goal of the 2018 and 2020 follow-up
surveys is to be fully responsive to
hospitals’ needs for information and
technical assistance. CDC will provide
direct feedback to hospital respondents
in a customized benchmark report of
their results. CDC will use information
from the mPINC surveys to identify,
document, and share information
related to incremental changes in
practices and care processes over time at
the hospital, state, and national levels.
Researchers also use the data to gain a
better understanding of the
relationships between hospital
characteristics, maternity-care practices,
state level factors, and breastfeeding
initiation and continuation rates.
