FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION


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

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice and request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requests that the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) extend for three years the current 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) clearance for information collection 
requirements of its Affiliate Marketing Rule, which applies to certain 
motor vehicle dealers, and its shared enforcement with the Consumer 
Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) of the provisions (subpart C) of the 
CFPB's Regulation V regarding other entities (CFPB Rule). That 
clearance expires on February 28, 2023.

DATES: Comments must be received by March 24, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of 
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular 
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function. The 
reginfo.gov web link is a United States Government website produced by 
OMB and the General Services Administration (GSA). Under PRA 
requirements, OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) 
reviews Federal information collections.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Walko, Attorney, Division of 
Privacy and Identity Protection, Bureau of Consumer Protection, Federal 
Trade Commission, 600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20580, 
(202) 326-2880.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Affiliate Marketing Rule (16 CFR part 680).
    OMB Control Number: 3084-0131.
    Type of Review: Extension of currently approved collection.
    Likely Respondents: Motor vehicle dealers, financial institutions, 
trade associations.
    Estimated Annual Burden: The total estimated burden is 7,795 hours 
and $367,176 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 
part 313). On December 8, 2022, the Commission sought comment on the 
disclosure requirements associated with the Rule. 87 FR 75271. No 
relevant comments were received. For more details about the Rule 
requirements, the background behind these information collection 
provisions, and the basis for these calculations, see 87 FR 75271 (Dec. 
8, 2022).
    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.
