Mail: 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.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Katherine McCarron, Attorney, Division
of Privacy and Identity Protection, Bureau of Consumer Protection,
Federal Trade Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Room CC-8232,
Washington, DC 20580, (202) 326-2333.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.), the FTC has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
(``OMB'') this request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
Title: Affiliate Marketing Rule (16 CFR 680).
OMB Control Number: 3084-0131.
Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection.
Estimated Annual Burden:
The total estimated burden is 9,170 hours and $367,588 in
associated labor costs. Commission staff estimates that the capital and
non-labor costs associated with the Affiliate Marketing Rule's
disclosure requirements are de minimis, because covered entities can
consolidate affiliate marketing notices with other notices they already
provide to their customers such as notices issued pursuant to the
Commission's Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act Financial Privacy Rule (16 CFR
313).\1\ For more details about the Rule requirements, the background
behind these information collection provisions, and the basis for these
calculations, see 84 FR 51163 (Sept. 27, 2019).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ We note, however, that some financial institutions may
qualify for an exception and would not be required to send annual
Gramm-Leach-Bliley privacy notices. See Fixing America's Surface
Transportation Act (``FAST Act''), Public Law 114-94, 129 Stat.
1312, Section 75001 (Dec. 4, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Request for Comment:
On September 27, 2019, the Commission sought comment on the
information collection requirements associated with the Affiliate
Marketing Rule and the Commission's shared enforcement with the CFPB of
the affiliate marketing provisions of Regulation V subpart C (12 CFR
1022.21). 84 FR 51163 (Sept. 27, 2019). No relevant 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 those information collection
requirements.
Your comment--including your name and your state--will be placed on
the public record of this proceeding. Because your comment will be made
public, you are solely responsible for making sure that your comment
does not include any sensitive personal information, like 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 provided 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.
