<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 4 / Tuesday, January 7, 2025 / Notices
supported greater personal data
protections for American consumers by,
among other things, encouraging
Congress to enact comprehensive
federal privacy legislation.5 However,
such initiatives would be beyond the
scope of this PRA renewal request.
Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons,
the Commission declines to make any
adjustments to its prior burden
estimates or to modify its initial
proposal.
B. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Collection: Red Flags Rule, 16
CFR 681.1; Card Issuers Rule, 16 CFR
681.2; Address Discrepancy Rule, 16
CFR part 641.
OMB Control Number: 3084–0137.
Type of Review: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Abstract: The Red Flags Rule requires
financial institutions and certain
creditors to develop and implement
written Identity Theft Prevention
Programs. The Card Issuers Rule
requires credit and debit card issuers to
assess the validity of notifications of
address changes under certain
circumstances. The Address
Discrepancy Rule provides guidance on
what covered users of consumer reports
must do when they receive a notice of
address discrepancy from a nationwide
consumer reporting agency.
Collectively, these three anti-identity
theft provisions are intended to prevent
impostors from misusing another
person’s personal information for a
fraudulent purpose. The Rules
implement sections 114 and 315 of the
FACT Act.
