Description: Section 312 of the Fair
and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of
2003 (FACT Act) required the issuance
of guidelines for use by furnishers
regarding the accuracy and integrity of
the information about consumers that
they furnish to consumer reporting
agencies and to prescribe regulations
requiring furnishers to establish
reasonable policies and procedures for
implementing the guidelines. Section
312 also required the issuance of
regulations identifying the
circumstances under which a furnisher
must reinvestigate disputes about the
accuracy of information contained in a
consumer report based on a direct
request from a consumer.
Twelve CFR 1022.42(a) requires
furnishers to establish and implement
reasonable written policies and
procedures regarding the accuracy and
integrity of consumer information that
they provide to a consumer reporting
agency (CRA).
Section 1022.43(a) requires a
furnisher to conduct a reasonable
investigation of a dispute initiated
directly by a consumer in certain
circumstances. Furnishers are required
to have procedures to ensure that
disputes received directly from
consumers are handled in a
substantially similar manner to those
complaints received through CRAs.
Section 1022.43(f)(2) incorporates the
statutory requirement that a furnisher
must notify a consumer by mail or other
means (if authorized by the consumer)
not later than five business days after
making a determination that a dispute is
frivolous or irrelevant. Section
1022.43(f) incorporates the statute’s
content requirements for the notices.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,133 respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
185,603 hours.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized,
included in the request for OMB
approval, and become a matter of public
record. Comments are invited on:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
OCC, including whether the information

(b) The accuracy of the OCC’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
