SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 26, 2022, the Bureau issued a 
Request for Information regarding fees that are not subject to

supervision, regulatory and other authorities to create a fairer, more 
transparent, and competitive consumer financial marketplace. As of mid-
March, the CFPB has received more than 1,400 comments to the RFI, 
indicating a high level of public interest in this topic. Allowing an 
additional comment period will provide additional opportunity for the
