FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jacob Chachkin, Special Counsel, (202) 418–5496, jchachkin@cftc.gov, Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, 1155 21st Street NW, Washington, DC 20581, and refer to OMB Control Numbers 3038–0088. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Titles: Confirmation, Portfolio Reconciliation, Portfolio Compression, and Swap Trading Relationship Documentation Requirements for Swap Dealers and Major Swap Participants (OMB control number 3038–0088). This is a request for revision of this currently approved information collection. Abstract: Pursuant to the authority granted to it by Section 731 of Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (DoddFrank Act, Pub L. No. 111–203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010)), the Commission promulgated regulation 23.504, among others. This regulation obligates swap dealers (‘‘SDs’’) and major swap participants (‘‘MSPs’’) to develop and retain written swap trading relationship documentation, which is essential to ensuring that SDs and MSPs document their swaps. The ICRs for this regulation are included under OMB control number 3038–0088. The United Kingdom (‘‘UK’’) has provided formal notice of its intention to withdraw from the European Union (‘‘EU’’). This withdrawal may happen as soon as April 12, 2019 and may transpire without a negotiated agreement between the UK and EU (Nodeal Brexit). To the extent this event occurs, affected SDs and MSPs may be involved in transfers of certain uncleared swaps, including uncleared swaps that were entered into before the relevant compliance dates under the CFTC Margin Rule 2 or the Prudential Margin Rule and that, therefore, may not be subject to such rules, in whole or in part. The Commission is adopting an interim final rule (‘‘Final Rule’’) amending the CFTC Margin Rule such that the date used for purposes of determining whether an uncleared swap was entered into prior to an applicable compliance date will not change under the CFTC Margin Rule if the swap is transferred, and thereby amended, in accordance with the terms of the Final Rule in respect of any such transfer. In doing so, the Final Rule, subject to its requirements, allows an uncleared swap to retain its legacy status when transferred in connection with a No-deal Brexit. As a condition to the relief in the Final Rule, in certain cases, the Commission requires that the transferor of a legacy swap make certain representations to the SD or MSP that is a party to the swap in the swap trading relationship documentation relating to such transfer. The Commission proposes to revise the burden of OMB control number 3038–0088 to reflect this requirement. Burden Statement: As a condition to the relief in the Final Rule, in certain cases, the Commission requires that the transferor of a legacy swap make certain representations to the SD or MSP that is a party to the swap in the swap trading relationship documentation relating to such transfer. The Commission is revising the burden of this OMB number to reflect the inclusion of this requirement in the Final Rule. Specifically, the Commission estimates that this requirement will increase the burden under OMB control number 3038–0088 as follows: Respondents/Affected Entities: SDs and MSPs and their counterparties. Estimated Number of Respondents: 52. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 1,404 hours. Frequency of Collection: Periodically. There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection. (Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) Dated: March 26, 2019.

Management and Budget Approval of Information Collection Requirements

AGENCY: Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.

ACTION: Notice of approval of information collection requirements.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), 
the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (Bureau) is announcing Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) approval of new and revised information 
collection requirements contained in a final rule published in the 
Federal Register on November 22, 2016, as amended on April 25, 2017 and 
February 13, 2018, regarding prepaid accounts under Regulations E and 
Z. See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below for additional 
information about each OMB approval.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Documentation prepared in support of 
these information collection requests is available at www.reginfo.gov. 
Requests for additional information should be directed to Darrin King, 
PRA Officer, at (202) 435-9575, or email: [email protected]. If you

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the 
Bureau may not conduct or sponsor, and, notwithstanding any other 
provision of law, a respondent is not required to respond to, an 
information collection unless it displays a currently valid OMB control 
number. On October 5, 2016, the Bureau issued a final rule titled 
``Prepaid Accounts Under the Electronic Fund Transfer Act (Regulation 
E) and the Truth In Lending Act (Regulation Z)'' (2016 Final Rule).\1\ 
The Bureau subsequently amended the 2016 Final Rule twice, in 2017 and 
2018.\2\ The 2016 Final Rule, as subsequently amended, is referred to 
herein as the Prepaid Accounts Rule. Pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.11(h), the 
Bureau submitted the 2016 Final Rule with information collection 
requests (ICRs) to OMB on the date the 2016 Final Rule was published

[[Page 12235]]

in the Federal Register.\3\ The Bureau hereby announces OMB approval of 
the information collection requirements contained in the Prepaid 
Accounts Rule and the respective OMB control numbers currently assigned 
to each of the information collection requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 81 FR 83934 (Nov. 22, 2016).
    \2\ See 82 FR 18975 (Apr. 25, 2017) and 83 FR 6364 (Feb. 13, 
2018). These amendments, among other things, extended the effective 
date of the Prepaid Accounts Rule to April 1, 2019.
    \3\ On March 6, 2019, the Bureau published a notification in the 
Federal Register titled ``Technical Specifications for Submissions 
to the Prepaid Account Agreements Database.'' 84 FR 7979 (Mar. 6, 
2019) (Technical Specifications). The Technical Specifications 
relate to a provision in 12 CFR 1005.19, added to Regulation E by 
the Prepaid Accounts Rule, which requires a prepaid account issuer 
to make submissions of its currently-offered prepaid account 
agreements on a rolling basis, in the form and manner specified by 
the Bureau. While the Technical Specifications do not introduce any 
new or revised collections of information beyond what is already 
contemplated by the Prepaid Accounts Rule, for purposes of the PRA, 
OMB considers them as instructions for an information collection 
and, as such, have been included in OMB's docket for OMB number 
3170-0014.
    \4\ The Bureau divided certain proposals to amend the Bureau's 
Regulation Z into separate ICRs in the OMB system (accessible at 
www.reginfo.gov) to ease the public's ability to view and understand 
the individual proposals. The Bureau anticipates that it will 
combine OMB Number 3170-0050 into the existing control number for 
Regulation Z (OMB Number 3170-0015). Bureau respondents should 
continue to use the 3170-0015 control number for Regulation Z.
