View Rule

The Bureau first issued its regulation on Disclosure of Records and Information as an interim final rule in 2011 and as a final rule in 2013. The Bureau proposed amendments to this regulation in August 2016, in order to clarify, correct, and amend certain provisions based on its experience over the last several years. After receiving comments on the proposed amendments, in September 2018 the Bureau issued a final rule regarding procedures used by the public to obtain information from the Bureau under the Freedom of Information Act, the Privacy Act of 1974, and in legal proceedings. The Bureau expects to address at a later date the protection and disclosure of confidential information that the Bureau obtains in connection with the exercise of its authorities under Federal consumer financial law.
