BUREAU OF CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION

[Docket No: CFPB-2023-0049]


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.

ACTION: Rescindment of a system of records notice.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) provides notice that it is 
rescinding CFPB.007 CFPB Directory Database from its inventory of 
record systems. The system of records provided the CFPB with a single, 
agency-wide repository of identifying and registration information 
concerning entities offering or providing, or materially assisting in 
the offering or provision of, consumer financial products or services. 
The CFPB is rescinding this system of records notice because this 
system is not currently maintained by CFPB, thereby making the system 
of records notice unnecessary.

DATES: Comments must be received no later than November 2, 2023. The 
modified system of records will be effective November 13, 2023 unless 
the comments received result in a contrary determination.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by the title and docket 
number (see above Docket No. CFPB-2023-0049), by any of the following 
methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov. 
Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
     Email: [email protected]. Include Docket No. CFPB-2023-0049 
in the subject line of the email.
     Mail/Hand Delivery/Courier: Kathryn Fong, Chief Privacy 
Officer, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 1700 G Street NW, 
Washington, DC 20552. Because paper mail in the Washington, DC area and 
at CFPB is subject to delay, commenters are encouraged to submit 
comments electronically.
    All submissions must include the agency name and docket number for 
this notice. In general, all comments received will be posted without 
change to https://www.regulations.gov. All comments, including 
attachments and other supporting materials, will become part of the 
public record and subject to public disclosure. You should submit only 
information that you wish to make available publicly. Sensitive 
personal information, such as account numbers or Social Security 
numbers, should not be included.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathryn Fong, Chief Privacy Officer, 
(202) 435-7058. If you require this document in an alternative 
electronic format, please contact [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CFPB replaced the Directory Database 
with a central repository of entity business information that does not 
maintain individual-level information. Directory Database is therefore 
currently obsolete, no longer maintained by CFPB, and no longer meets 
the definition of a system of records under the Privacy Act. 
Accordingly, the CFPB reasonably believes that rescinding this System 
of Records Notice will have little effect on individuals' privacy. 
Rescindment of this System of Records Notice will also promote the 
overall streamlining and management of Privacy Act record systems for 
the CFPB.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
    CFPB.007 CFPB Directory Database.

HISTORY:
    78 FR 54630; 83 FR 23435.

Kathryn Fong,
Senior Agency Official for Privacy, Consumer Financial Protection 
Bureau.
