Defining Larger Participants of the Consumer Debt Collection Market; Correction

AGENCY: Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection published in the Federal Register of October 31, 2012 a final rule amending the regulation defining larger participants of certain consumer financial product and service markets by adding a new section to define larger participants of a market for consumer debt collection. The final rule contained four typographical errors, which this document corrects.

DATES: This correcting amendment is effective on January 2, 2013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kali Bracey, Senior Counsel, (202) 435-7141, or Susan Torzilli, Attorney-Advisor, (202) 435-7464, Office of Nonbank Supervision, Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, 1700 G Street NW., Washington, DC 20552.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) published a final rule in the Federal Register of October 31, 2012 (77 FR 65775) amending 12 CFR part 1090 by adding a new section to define larger participants of a market for consumer debt collection. The final rule contained four typographical errors, which this document corrects. Three of these errors were incorrect cross-references. The other error was an omission of a subheading designation.

The Bureau finds that there is good cause to publish these corrections without seeking public comment. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). Public comment is unnecessary because the Bureau is correcting inadvertent, technical errors about which there is minimal, if any, basis for substantive disagreement.

Accordingly, in FR Doc. 2012-26467 published on October 31, 2012 (77 FR 65775), make the following corrections:

1. On page 65798, in the second column, in Sec. 1090.105, in paragraph (iii)(C) of the definition of Annual receipts, remove the first reference to ``(iii)(B)'' and add ``(ii)'' in its place.

2. On page 65798, in the second column, in Sec. 1090.105, in paragraph (iii)(C) of the definition of Annual receipts, remove the second reference to ``(iii)(B)'' and add ``(ii)(B)'' in its place.

3. On page 65798, in the second column, in Sec. 1090.105, in paragraph (iii)(D) of the definition of Annual receipts, remove ``(iii)(B)'' and add ``(ii)'' in its place.

4. On page 65798, in the third column, add the paragraph designation ``(b)'' before ``Test to define larger participants''.

Dated: November 28, 2012.

Director, Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.
