Under the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal
agencies must obtain approval from
OMB for each collection of information
that they conduct or sponsor.
‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined
in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) to include agency requests or
requirements that members of the public
submit reports, keep records, or provide
information to a third party. Section
3506(c)(2)(A) of title 44 requires Federal
agencies to provide a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register concerning each
proposed collection of information,
including each proposed extension of an
existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB
for approval. To comply with this
requirement, the OCC is publishing
notice of the proposed collection of
information set forth in this document.
Title: Fair Credit Reporting: Affiliate
Marketing.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0230.
Type of Review: Regular.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
97,723.
Total Annual Burden: 10,281 hours.
Description: Section 214 of the Fair
and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of
2003 (FACT Act),2 which added section
624 to the Fair Credit Reporting Act
(FCRA),3 generally prohibits a person
from using certain information received
from an affiliate to solicit a consumer
for marketing purposes, unless the
consumer is given notice and an
opportunity and simple method to opt
out of such solicitations.
Twelve CFR 1022.20–1022.27 require
financial institutions to issue notices
informing consumers about their rights
under section 214 of the FACT Act.
Consumers use the notices to decide if
they want to receive solicitations for
marketing purposes or opt out.
Financial institutions use consumers’
opt-out responses to determine the
permissibility of making a solicitation
for marketing purposes.
If a person receives certain consumer
eligibility information from an affiliate,
the person may not use that information
to solicit the consumer about its
products or services, unless the
consumer is given notice and a simple
method to opt out of such use of the
information, and the consumer does not
opt out. Exceptions include a person
using eligibility information: (1) To
make solicitations to a consumer with

the consumer. A consumer’s affiliate
marketing opt-out election must be
effective for a period of at least five
years. Upon expiration of the opt-out
period, the consumer must be given a
renewal notice and an opportunity to
renew the opt-out before information
received from an affiliate may be used
to make solicitations to the consumer.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and
included in the request for OMB
approval. All comments will become a
matter of public record. Comments are
invited on:

information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
OCC, including whether the information
has practical utility;

costs and costs of operation,

process of requesting approval from the
National Archives and Records
Administration of records disposition
schedules concerning all records in this
system of records.
ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL
SAFEGUARDS:
Records in this system are
safeguarded in accordance with
applicable rules and policies, including
all applicable Treasury automated
systems security and access policies.
Strict controls have been imposed to

duties and have appropriate clearances.
RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
See ‘‘Notification Procedures’’ below.
CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES:
This system of records may contain
records that are exempt from the
notification, access, and contesting
records requirements pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 552a (j)(2) and (k)(2). However,
SIGPR will consider individual requests
to determine whether information may
be released. Thus, individuals seeking
notification of and access to any record
contained in this system of records, or
seeking to contest its content, may
inquire in writing in accordance with
instructions appearing at 31 CFR part 1,
subpart C, Appendices A–M. Requests
for information and specific guidance
on where to send requests for records
may be addressed to: General Counsel,
SIGPR, 2051 Jamieson Avenue, Suite

regulations set forth in 31 CFR part 1.36.
You must first verify your identity,
meaning that you must provide your full
name, current address, date, and
birthplace. You must sign your request.
Your signature must either be notarized
or submitted under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a
law that permits statements to be made
under penalty of perjury as a substitute
for notarization. In addition, you
should:
• Provide an explanation of why you
believe SIGPR would have information
on you;
E:\FR\FM\22MRN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 53 / Monday, March 22, 2021 / Notices
• Specify when you believe the

have responsive records.
In addition, if your request is seeking
records pertaining to another living
individual, you must include a
statement from that individual
certifying his/her permission for you to
access his/her records.
This information will help SIGPR to
conduct an effective search and to
prevent your request from being denied
due to a lack of specificity or a lack of
compliance with applicable regulations.

be made under penalty of perjury as a
substitute for notarization. In addition,
you should:
• Provide an explanation of why you
believe SIGPR would have information
on you;
• Specify when you believe the
records would have been created; and

the risk and magnitude of the harm resulting from the loss, misuse, or
unauthorized access to or modification of the information contained in
SIGPR's records. SIGPR's safeguards ensure that its records system and
applications operate effectively and provide appropriate
confidentiality, integrity, and availability through cost-effective
management, personnel, operational, and technical controls. The
safeguards further ensure the security and confidentiality of the
records in its system and help protect against anticipated threats or
hazards. All individuals granted access to SIGPR's records system need
to know the information to perform their official duties and have the
appropriate training and clearances.
RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
See ``Notification Procedures'' below.
CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:
See ``Notification Procedures'' below.
NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES:
This system of records may contain records that are exempt from the
notification, access, and contesting records requirements pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 552a (j)(2) and (k)(2). However, SIGPR will consider individual
requests to determine whether information may be released. Thus,
individuals seeking notification of and access to any record contained
in this system of records, or seeking to contest its content, may
inquire in writing in accordance with instructions appearing at 31 CFR
part 1, subpart C, Appendices A-M. Requests for information and
specific guidance on where to send requests for records may be
addressed to: General Counsel, SIGPR, 2051 Jamieson Avenue, Suite 600,
Alexandria, VA 22314.
When seeking records about yourself from this system of records or
any other Departmental system of records, your request must conform
with the Privacy Act regulations set forth in 31 CFR part 1.36. You
must first verify your identity, meaning that you must provide your
full name, current address, date of birth, and birthplace. You must
sign your request, and your signature must be either notarized or
submitted under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits statements to be
made under penalty of perjury as a substitute for notarization. In
addition, you must:
Provide an explanation of why you believe SIGPR would have
information on you;
Specify when you believe the records would have been
created; and
Provide any other information that will help SIGPR
determine if it may have responsive records.
If you are requesting records about another living individual, you
must include a statement from that individual certifying his/her
agreement for you to access his/her records. This information will help
SIGPR to conduct an effective search and to prevent your request from
being denied due to a lack of specificity or a lack of compliance with
applicable regulations.
EXEMPTIONS CLAIMED FOR THE SYSTEM:
The Secretary of Treasury has exempted this system from the
following provisions of the Privacy Act, subject to the limitations set
forth in 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3), (c)(4), (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3), (d)(4),
(e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I), (e)(5),
(e)(8), (f), and (g) of the Privacy Act pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a
(j)(2) and (k)(2). See 5 CFR part 9301. Exempt materials from other
systems of records may become part of the case records in this system
of records. If copies of exempt records from those other systems of
records are entered into these case records, SIGPR claims the same
exemptions for the records as claimed in the original primary systems
of records of which they are a part.
