Approval Under Delegated Authority and Submission to OMB

SUMMARY: Background. Notice is hereby given of the final approval of 
proposed information collections by the Board of Governors of the 
Federal Reserve System (Board) under OMB delegated authority, as per 5 
CFR 1320.16 (OMB Regulations on Controlling Paperwork Burdens on the 
Public). Board-approved collections of information are incorporated 
into the official OMB inventory of currently approved collections of 
information. Copies of the Paperwork Reduction Act Submission, 
supporting statements and approved collection of information 
instrument(s) are placed into OMB's public docket files. The Federal 
Reserve may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is not required 
to respond to, an information collection that has been extended, 
revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number.

provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (GLB Act), which 
defines financial institution to mean ``any institution the business 
of which is engaging in financial activities as described in section 
4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956,'' whether or not

    Number of respondents: 30,000
    General description of report: This information collection is 
mandatory (15 U.S.C. Sec.  1681s-2(a)(7)). Because the records are 
maintained at state member banks and the notices are not provided to 
the Federal Reserve, no issue of confidentiality arises under the 
Freedom of Information Act.
    Abstract: Financial institutions that (1) extend credit and 
regularly and in the ordinary course of business furnish information to 
a nationwide consumer reporting agency, and (2) furnish negative 
information to such an agency regarding credit extended to a customer 
must provide a clear and conspicuous notice to the customer, in 
writing, about furnishing this negative information.
    Current Actions: On September 6, 2007, the Federal Reserve 
published a notice in the Federal Register (72 FR 51228) requesting 
public comment for sixty days on the extension, without revision, of 
these disclosure requirements; the comment period expired on November 
5, 2007. The Federal Reserve did not receive any comments.

    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, November 13, 
2007.
Robert deV. Frierson,
Deputy Secretary of the Board.
