Abstract:
The passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Public Law 111-203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010), broadened the Commission's regulatory authority under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLB Act") to cover two new entities: Swap Dealers and Major Swap Participants, in addition to Futures Commission Merchants, Commodity Trading Advisors, Commodity Pool Operators, and Introducing Brokers, Specifically, amendments to the GLB Act found in section 1093 of the Dodd-Frank Act, reaffirmed the Commission's authority to promulgate regulations to require entities that are subject to the Commission's jurisdiction to provide certain privacy protections for consumer financial information. These regulations were later extended to Retail Foreign Exchange Dealers. The Commission's privacy provisions, found in part 160, require those subject to the regulations to adopt appropriate policies and procedures to safeguard customer records and information, by providing initial and annual privacy notices to customers, and by providing opt-out provisions to the extent that those subject to the regulations wish to share such records and information with non-affiliates. The proposed revisions implement the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act’s (“FAST Act”) December 2015 statutory amendment to the GLB Act by providing an exception to the annual notice requirement in Commission regulation 160.5 under certain conditions.

Short Statement:
On December 4, 2015, Congress amended the GLB Act as part of the FAST Act. This amendment, titled “Eliminate Privacy Notice Confusion,” added section 503(f) to the GLB Act to limit the circumstances under which a financial institution must provide a privacy notice to its customers on an annual basis. The Commission is proposing to amend Commission regulation 160.5 to reflect this amendment to the GLB Act.
