    General Description of Collection:
    Sec. 312 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act of 2003 
(FACT Act) requires the FDIC to: Issue guidelines for furnishers 
regarding the accuracy and integrity of the information about consumers 
furnished to consumer reporting agencies; prescribe regulations 
requiring furnishers to establish reasonable policies/procedures to 
implement the guidelines; and issue regulations identifying the 
circumstances where a furnisher must reinvestigate a dispute about the 
accuracy of information in a consumer report based on a direct request 
from a consumer.
    There is no change in the method or substance of the collection. 
The overall reduction in burden hours is the result of economic 
fluctuation. In particular, the number of respondents has decreased 
while the hours per response and frequency of responses have remained 
the same.

Request for Comment

    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information 
is necessary for the proper performance of the FDIC's functions, 
including whether the information has practical utility; (b) the 
accuracy of the estimates of the burden of the information collection, 
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the

burden of the collection of information on respondents, including 
through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology. All comments will become a matter of public 
record.

    Dated at Washington, DC, on November 21, 2018. Federal Deposit 
Insurance Corporation.
