* The average number of responses for this IC is based on the average number of credit accounts held at the respondent IDIs.
General Description of the Collection: Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau (CFPB) Regulation Z--12 CFR 1026 implements the Truth
in Lending Act (15 U.S.C. 1601, et seq.) and certain provisions of the
Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (12 U.S.C. 2601 et seq.). This
regulation prescribes uniform methods for computing the cost of credit,
the disclosure of credit terms and costs, the resolution of errors and
imposes various other recordkeeping, reporting and disclosure
requirements. The FDIC has enforcement authority on the requirements of
the CFPB's Regulation over the financial institutions it supervises.
This information collection captures the recordkeeping, reporting and
disclosure burdens of Regulation Z on FDIC-supervised institutions. To
arrive at the estimated annual burden the FDIC assessed the number of
potential respondents to the information collection by identifying the
number of FDIC-supervised institutions who reported activity that would
be within the scope of the information collection requirements
according to data from the most recent Call Report. Additionally, the
FDIC estimated the frequency of responses to the recordkeeping,
reporting, or disclosure requirements by assessing the dollar volume of
activity that would be within the scope of the information collection.
In some instances the FDIC used information provided by other sources
to estimate the magnitude and scope of activity attributable to FDIC-
supervised institutions when more immediate information sources did not
exist. There is no change in the substance or methodology of this
information collection. The reduction in total estimated annual burden
from 2,395,630 hours to 2,031,731 hours is solely attributable to
agency estimates driven by economic fluctuations.

General Description of Collection: Regulations E & DD (Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau's Regulations) and Regulation CC (the
Federal Reserve Board's Regulation) ensure adequate disclosures
regarding accounts, including electronic fund transfer services,
availability of funds, and fees and annual percentage yield for deposit
accounts. Generally, the Regulation E disclosures are designed to
ensure consumers receive adequate disclosure of basic terms, costs, and
rights relating to electronic fund transfer (EFT) services provided to
them so that they can make informed decisions. Institutions offering
EFT services must disclose to consumers certain information, including:
Initial and updated EFT terms, transaction information, the consumer's
potential liability for unauthorized transfers, and error resolution
rights and procedures.
Like Regulation E, Regulation CC has consumer protection disclosure
requirements. Specifically, Regulation CC requires depository
institutions to make funds deposited in transaction accounts available
within specified time periods, disclose their availability policies to
customers, and begin accruing interest on such deposits promptly. The
disclosures are intended to alert customers that their ability to use
deposited funds may be delayed, prevent unintentional (and costly)
overdrafts, and allow customers to compare the policies of different
institutions before deciding at which institution to deposit funds.
Depository institutions must also provide an awareness disclosure
regarding substitute checks. The regulation also requires notice to the
depositary bank and to a customer of nonpayment of a check. Regulation
DD also has similar consumer protection disclosure requirements that
are intended to assist consumers in comparing deposit accounts offered
by institutions, principally through the disclosure of fees, the annual
percentage yield, and other account terms.
Regulation DD requires depository institutions to disclose yields,
fees, and other terms concerning deposit accounts to consumers at
account opening, upon request, and when changes in terms occur.
Depository institutions that provide periodic statements are required
to include information about fees imposed, interest earned, and the
annual percentage yield (APY) earned during those statement periods. It
also contains rules about advertising deposit accounts.
There is no change in the method or substance of the collection.
The overall reduction in burden hours is partly the result of economic
fluctuation and the reduced number of FDIC-supervised institutions. The
primary reason for the overall reduction in total estimated annual
burden for this information collection from 2,946,887 hours to 592,821
hours is due to the recognition that a group items in the currently-
approved information collection related to overdraft opt-in disclosures
should be treated as one-time burdens and no longer present a burden
for FDIC-supervised institutions. These items made up 2.3 million hours
of the burden in currently approved information collection. The
treatment of these items as representing no ongoing burden is
consistent with the Federal Reserve Board's burden treatment in their
current information collection request.\1\
