FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION


Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

ACTION: Notice and request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995, 
the FTC is seeking public comments on its request to OMB for a three-
year extension of the current PRA clearance for the information 
collection requirements contained in the Prescreen Opt-Out Notice Rule 
(``Prescreen Opt-Out Rule'' or ``Rule''), which applies to certain 
motor vehicle dealers, and its shared enforcement with the Consumer 
Financial Protection Bureau (``CFPB'') of the provisions (subpart F) of 
the CFPB's Regulation V regarding other entities (``CFPB Rule''). This 
clearance expires on October 31, 2016.

DATES: Comments must be received by October 26, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties may file a comment online or on paper by 
following the instructions in the Request for Comments part of the 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below. Write ``Prescreen Opt-Out 
Notice Rule: FTC File No. P075417'' on your comment, and file your 
comment online at https://ftcpublic.commentworks.com/ftc/prescreenoptoutpra2 by following the instructions on the web-based 
form. If you prefer to file your comment on paper, mail or deliver your 
comment to the following address: Federal Trade Commission, Office of 
the Secretary, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Suite CC-5610 (Annex J), 
Washington, DC 20580, or deliver your comment to the following address: 
Federal Trade Commission, Office of the Secretary, Constitution Center, 
400 7th Street SW., 5th Floor, Suite 5610 (Annex J), Washington, DC 
20024.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for copies of the collection

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 25, 2016, the FTC sought public 
comment on the information collection requirements associated with the 
Prescreen Opt-Out Rule, 16 CFR part 642, the shared enforcement with 
the CFPB of the provisions (subpart F) of the CFPB's Regulation V, 
regarding other entities (``CFPB Rule''), and the FTC's associated PRA 
burden analysis.\1\ 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 the pre-existing clearance for the 
Rule. All comments should be filed as prescribed herein, and must be 
received on or before October 26, 2016.

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

    Comments on the information collection requirements subject to 
review under the PRA should additionally be submitted to OMB. If sent 
by U.S. mail, they should be addressed to Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Attention: Desk 
Officer for the Federal Trade Commission, New Executive Office 
Building, Docket Library, Room 10102, 725 17th Street NW., Washington, 
DC 20503. Comments sent to OMB by U.S. postal mail, however, are 
subject to delays due to heightened security precautions. Thus, 
comments instead should be sent by facsimile to (202) 395-5167.

Burden Statement

    The FTC is seeking clearance for its assumed share of the estimated 
PRA burden regarding the disclosure requirements under the FTC and CFPB 
Rules. The FTC's assumed share of estimated PRA burden, explained in 
the May 25, 2016 Notice, is 998 annual hours and $249,500 in annual 
labor costs, with the added assumption that capital and other non-labor 
costs should be minimal, at most, since the Rule has been in effect 
several years, with covered entities now equipped to provide the 
required notice.

Request for Comment

    You can file a comment online or on paper. For the Commission to 
consider your comment, we must receive it on or before October 26, 
2016. Write ``Prescreen Opt-Out Notice Rule: FTC File No. P075417'' on 
your comment. Your comment--including your name and your state--will be 
placed on the

public record of this proceeding, including, to the extent practicable, 
on the public Commission Web site, at http://www.ftc.gov/os/publiccomments.shtm. As a matter of discretion, the Commission tries to 
remove individuals' home contact information from comments before 
placing them on the Commission Web site.
    Because your comment will be made public, you are solely 
responsible for making sure that your comment does not include any 
sensitive personal information, such as anyone's Social Security 
number, date of birth, driver's license number or other state 
identification number or foreign country equivalent, passport number, 
financial account number, or credit or debit card number. You are also 
solely responsible for making sure that your comment does not include 
any sensitive health information, like medical records or other 
individually identifiable health information. In addition, do not 
include any ``[t]rade secret or any commercial or financial information 
which is . . . privileged or confidential,'' as discussed in Section 
6(f) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. 46(f), and FTC Rule 4.10(a)(2), 16 CFR 
4.10(a)(2). In particular, do not include competitively sensitive 
information such as costs, sales statistics, inventories, formulas, 
patterns, devices, manufacturing processes, or customer names.
    If you want the Commission to give your comment confidential 
treatment, you must file it in paper form, with a request for 
confidential treatment, and you are required to follow the procedure 
explained in FTC Rule 4.9(c), 16 CFR 4.9(c). Your comment will be kept 
confidential only if the FTC General Counsel, in his or her sole 
discretion, grants your request in accordance with the law and the 
public interest.
    Postal mail addressed to the Commission is subject to delay due to 
heightened security screening. As a result, we encourage you to submit 
your comment online, or to send it to the Commission by courier or 
overnight service. To make sure that the Commission considers your 
online comment, you must file it at https://ftcpublic.commentworks.com/ftc/prescreenoptoutpra2, by following the instructions on the web-based
