    Proposal to approve under OMB delegated authority the extension for 
three years, without revision, of the following information collection:
    Report title: Disclosure Requirements in Connection with Regulation 
DD (Truth in Savings Act).
    Agency form number: Regulation DD.
    OMB control number: 7100-0271.
    Frequency: Monthly.
    Reporters: State member banks, branches & agencies of foreign 
banks, commercial lending companies, and Edge Act or agreement 
corporations.
    Estimated annual reporting hours: Account disclosures: 12,504 
hours; Change in terms notices: 18,756 hours; Notices prior to 
maturity: 18,756 hours; Periodic statement disclosure: 100,032 hours; 
and Advertising: 6,252 hours.
    Estimated average hours per response: Account disclosures: 1 hour; 
Change in terms notices: 1.5 hours; Notices prior to maturity: 1.5 
hours; Periodic statement disclosure: 8 hours; and Advertising: 30 
minutes.
    Number of respondents: 1,042.
    General description of report: This information collection is 
mandatory pursuant section 269 of Truth in Savings Act (TISA) (12 
U.S.C. 4308), which authorizes the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau 
(CFPB) to issue regulations to carry out the provisions of the act. The 
Board's imposition of the disclosure requirements on Federal Reserve 
supervised institutions is authorized by the Dodd-Frank amendments to 
TISA (12 U.S.C. 4309), and the provisions of Regulation DD (12 CFR 
1030.1(a), 1030.2(j)). An institution's disclosure obligations under 
Regulation DD are mandatory. The Federal Reserve does not collect any 
information; therefore, no issue of confidentiality arises.
    Abstract: TISA was contained in the Federal Deposit Insurance 
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991. The purpose of TISA and its 
implementing regulation is to assist consumers in comparing deposit 
accounts offered by institutions, principally through the disclosure of 
fees, the annual percentage yield (APY), and other account terms. TISA 
requires depository institutions to disclose key terms for deposit 
accounts at account opening, upon request, when changes in terms occur, 
and in periodic statements. It also includes rules about advertising 
for deposit accounts. TISA does not provide exemptions from compliance 
for small institutions.
    On July 21, 2011, rulemaking authority for TISA was transferred 
from

the Board to the CFPB under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 
Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act). In December 2011, the 
CFPB published an interim final rule establishing its own Regulation DD 
to implement TISA at 12 CFR part 1030 that substantially duplicated the 
Board's Regulation DD. The Board repealed its version of Regulation DD 
(12 CFR part 230) effective June 30, 2014.


    Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, December 8, 
2014.

Secretary of the Board.
