SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title of Collection: Report of Terms of Credit Card Plans (Form FR

    OMB Control Number: 3170-0001.
    Type of Review: Revision of a previously approved information

    Abstract: This collection incorporates two information collections 
of credit card data by the Bureau that used to be collected under 
separate OMB Control Numbers. OMB Control No. 3170-0052 is being 
incorporated into OMB Control Number 3170-0001. Each collects different 
forms of credit card data from credit card issuers, as required by the 
Truth in Lending Act (TILA), 15 U.S.C. 1601, et seq. and implementing 
regulations:

--Form FR 2572 collects data on credit card pricing and availability 
from a sample of at least 150 financial institutions that offer credit 
cards. The data enables the Bureau to present information to the public 
on terms of credit card plans;
--Sections 204 and 305 of the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility 
and Disclosure Act of 2009 (CARD Act), amending TILA, and12 CFR 
1026.57(d) and 226.58 require card issuers to submit to the Bureau:

     Agreements between the issuer and a consumer under a 
credit card account for an open-end consumer credit plan; and
     any college credit card agreements to which the issuer is 
a party and certain additional information regarding those agreements.
    The data collections enable the Bureau to provide Congress and the 
public with a centralized and searchable repository for consumer and 
college credit card agreements and information regarding the 
arrangements between financial institutions and institutions of higher 
education.
    Request for Comments: Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the 
mandatory collection of information, pursuant to statute, is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of the Bureau, including 
whether the information will have practical utility; (b) The accuracy 
of the Bureau's estimate of the burden of the collection of 
information, including the validity of the methods and the assumptions 
used; (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be

[[Page 27568]]

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. 
Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or 
included in the request for OMB approval. All comments will become a 
matter of public record.
