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, net of an estimate covering motor vehicle dealers (which the FTC is fully assuming within its own burden estimates), half of the residual portion of the FTC's pre-existing, cleared burden hour estimate for this rule. OMB granted emergency clearance to the CFPB for its recent request. The FTC is submitting this ICR adjustment to reduce its own current burden totals accordingly.
