Abstract:
Because the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") has shared enforcement jurisdiction for this rule with the Consumer Financial Protection Board ("CFPB") under the Dodd-Frank Act, the CFPB has incorporated into its recently submitted burden estimates for this rule half of the FTC's pre-existing cleared burden estimates. OMB granted emergency clearance to the CFPB. Accordingly, the FTC is submitting this ICR to reduce its own current burden totals by roughly one-half (the second IC required rounding otherwise because one-half the number of respondents would not yield a whole number).
