VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:33 Apr 04, 2018 Jkt 244001 Proposal To Approve Under OMB Delegated Authority the Extension for Three Years, With Revision, of the Following Report Report title: Recordkeeping and Disclosure Requirements Associated with Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) Regulation M (Consumer Leasing). Agency form number: FR M. OMB control number: 7100–0202. Frequency: Disclosures, 461 times per year; and Advertising, quarterly. Respondents: State member banks with assets of $10 billion or less that are not affiliated with an insured depository institution with assets over $10 billion (irrespective of the consolidated assets of any holding company); nondepository affiliates of such state member banks; and non-depository affiliates of bank holding companies that are not affiliated with an insured depository institution with assets over $10 billion. Estimated number of respondents: 5. Estimated average hours per response: Disclosures, 6.5 minutes; and advertising, 25 minutes. Estimated annual burden hours: Disclosures, 250 hours; and advertising, 8 hours. General description of report: The CLA and Regulation M require lessors uniformly to disclose to consumers 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 $50,000, adjusted annually for inflation, and has a term of more than four months.1 The CLA does not provide exemptions for small entities. Proposed revisions: The Board proposes to revise the methodology for estimating burden for disclosures to provide additional clarity and transparency into the calculation. Specifically, the Board proposes to estimate disclosure burden using the estimated average number of lease contracts each Board-supervised institution initiates annually, assuming it takes approximately 6.5 minutes to populate and provide each disclosure. Legal authorization and confidentiality: The Board’s Legal Division has determined that sections 105(a) and 187 of TILA (15 U.S.C. 1604(a) and 1667f respectively, authorize the CFPB to issue regulations 1 For PO 00000 2018, the Regulation M threshold is $55,800. Frm 00019 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 to carry out the provisions of the CLA. The CFPB’s Regulation M, 12 CFR part 1013, implements these statutory provisions. An institution’s recordkeeping and disclosure obligations under Regulation M are mandatory. Because the Board does not collect any information pursuant to the CFPB’s Regulation M, no issue of confidentiality normally arises. In the event the Board were to retain information regarding consumer leases during the course of an examination, the information regarding the consumer and the lease would be kept confidential pursuant to section (b)(8) of the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 522 (b)(8)).

gathering methods such as focus groups and individual interviews. 
Quantitative surveys conducted using the FR 3076 would include surveys 
conducted online or via mobile device, by phone or by mail, emails, or

     What other information would be of value to enhance the 
online tool or information?
    Legal authorization and confidentiality: The Board uses its website 
and social media to communicate important information to the public 
about a variety of different issues. The Board is required to provide 
certain information on its website. For example, under section 2B of 
the Federal Reserve Act the Board is required to provide certain 
reports, audits, and other information that ``the Board reasonably 
believes is necessary or helpful to the public in understanding the 
accounting, financial reporting, and internal controls of the Board and 
the Federal reserve banks.'' 12 U.S.C. 225b(c). In addition, the Board 
uses its website to provide the public with information about a variety 
of other matters, including information

[[Page 14642]]

about the Board, its actions, and the economy. The responses to the FR 
3076 help the Board determine how to most effectively communicate this 
information to the public in order to fulfill its statutory 
responsibilities. The FR 3076 is voluntary. The information collected 
by the FR 3076 is not considered to be confidential.
