Uniform Interagency Consumer Compliance Rating System
The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), on behalf of its members, is revising the Uniform Interagency Consumer Compliance Rating System, more commonly known as the CC Rating System. The agencies comprising the FFIEC are the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and the State Liaison Committee (SLC) (Agencies). The FFIEC promotes compliance with federal consumer protection laws and regulations through each agency's supervisory and outreach programs. The CC Rating System revisions reflect the regulatory, examination (supervisory), technological, and market changes that have occurred in the years since the original rating system was established in 1980. The revisions are designed to better reflect current consumer compliance supervisory approaches and to more fully align the CC Rating System with the Agencies' current risk-based, tailored examination processes. The CC Rating System is being published after consideration of comments received from the public.
