<p>Section 149 of the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure (CARD) Act of 2009 is implemented in part in Regulation Z, section 1026.52(b)(1). &nbsp;Currently, under Regulation Z, section 1026.52(b)(1), a card issuer must not impose a fee for violating the terms or other requirements of a credit card account, including a late payment, unless the issuer has determined that the dollar amount of the fee represents a reasonable proportion of the total costs incurred by the issuer for that type of violation consistent with section 1026.52(b)(1)(i) or complies with the safe harbor amounts consistent with section 1026.52(b)(1)(ii). &nbsp;The Bureau is considering whether to propose amendments to the rules implementing the CARD Act relating to penalty fees levied by card issuers, including the safe harbors for penalty fees.&nbsp; On June 22, 2022, the Bureau issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) seeking information from credit card issuers, consumer groups, and the public regarding credit card late fees and late payments, and card issuers&rsquo; revenue and expenses. &nbsp;The Bureau is considering the comments received on the ANPRM in its development of the NPRM.</p>
