certain motor vehicle dealers, and its shared enforcement with the

[[Page 30845]]

the CFPB of subpart H of Regulation V (February 27, 2014 Notice \1\) 
and the FTC's associated PRA burden analysis. No comments were 
received. Pursuant to the OMB regulations, 5 CFR Part 1320, that 
implement the PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., the FTC is providing this 
second opportunity for public comment while seeking OMB approval to 
renew clearance for the FTC's calculated share of the associated PRA 
burden for the underlying disclosure requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 79 FR 11108.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The burden figures below present estimates of the number of 
applicable motor vehicle dealers subject to the FTC's RBP Rule \2\ and 
their assumed recurring disclosure burden, in addition to the estimated 
number of and burden for other entities over which the FTC shares 
enforcement burden with the CFPB under subpart H of Regulation V. For 
more details about the creditor notifications required and the basis 
for the calculations summarized below, see 79 FR 11108.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The FTC retains rulemaking authority for its RBP Rule solely 
for motor vehicle dealers described in section 1029(a) of the Dodd-
Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Pub. L. 111-
203, 124 Stat. 1376 (2010)) that are predominantly engaged in the 
sale and servicing of motor vehicles, the leasing and servicing of 
motor vehicles, or both.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Title: Fair Credit Reporting Risk-Based Pricing Regulations.
    OMB Control Number: 3084-0145.
    Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Estimated number of respondents: 160,875.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 9,652,500 hours and $166,216,050 \3\ in 
associated labor costs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Bureau of Labor Statistics, Economic News Release, April 1, 
2014, Table 1, ``National employment and wage data from the 
Occupational Employment Statistics survey by occupation, May 2013'': 
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ocwage.htm. This is an update of the 
labor information used in the February 27, 2014 Notice. The newer 
table shows $17.22 as the mean hourly wage for correspondence 
clerks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FTC believes that the FTC and CFPB rules impose negligible 
capital or other non-labor costs, as the affected entities are likely 
to have the necessary supplies and/or equipment already (e.g., offices 
and computers) for the information collections discussed above.
