----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau divided certain proposals 
to amend the Bureau's Regulations X and Z into separate Information 
Collection Requests (ICRs) in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
system (accessible at www.reginfo.gov) to ease the public's ability to 
view and understand the individual proposals. Subsequent to the 
finalization of the rules, CFPB anticipates that it will recombine the 
portions of Regulations Z and X that are broken out in the reginfo.gov 
system into the existing control numbers for Regulations X and Z. CFPB 
respondents should continue to use the 3170-0015 control number for 
Regulation Z and 3170-0016 control number for Regulation X throughout 
this time.
    The Bureau notes that, while OMB has approved the information 
collection requirements as contained in the above noted final rules, 
the Bureau's current rules remain in effect and affected parties are 
not required to follow the requirements contained in final rules listed 
above until such time as the effective date of the respective final 
rule.

    Dated: November 6, 2013.
Ashwin Vasan,
Chief Information Officer, Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.
