Agenda as part of the Spring 2024 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory 
and Deregulatory Actions, which is coordinated by the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) under Executive Order 12866. The agenda 
lists the regulatory matters that the CFPB reasonably anticipates, as 
of May 15, 2024, that it will have under consideration during the 
period from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, as described further 
below.\1\ The complete Unified Agenda is available to the public at the

Unified Agenda in a manner consistent with past practice.

    Consistent with procedures established by OMB's Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs,\2\ the CFPB's active agenda is 
divided into five sections: pre-rule stage; proposed rule stage; final 
rule stage; long-term actions, completed actions. Generally, the pre-
rule through final rule stages sections list items the CFPB plans to 
issue within the next 12 months. The long-term actions are listed for 
informational purposes if a regulatory action is anticipated beyond 
that one-year time frame. Completed actions are those that have been 
published as final or are withdrawn.

Proposed Rule Stage

249. Fair Credit Reporting Act Rulemaking [3170-AA54]

    Legal Authority: 15 U.S.C. 1681, et seq.
    Abstract: Congress enacted the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) to 
ensure fair and accurate credit reporting, promote efficiency in the 
banking system, and protect consumer privacy. The law and its 
implementing regulations (Regulation V) impose legal duties on consumer 
reporting agencies, users of consumer reports, and furnishers of 
information to consumer reporting agencies. The consumer credit 
reporting industry has consistently been a major source of consumer 
complaints, and, since the FCRA's enactment in 1970, advances in 
technology have led, particularly in recent years, to a rapid evolution 
of the consumer reporting marketplace, including the emergence of 
companies using business models that rely on newer technologies and 
novel methods to collect and sell consumer data. The CFPB is 
considering proposals to regulate many activities of such data brokers 
as covered under the FCRA and to address other issues that have arisen 
in the years since the FCRA's enactment. In light of recent events and 
research, the CFPB is also considering whether medical debts are 
necessary and appropriate for consideration by creditors in 
underwriting decisions to protect legitimate operational, 
transactional, risk, consumer, and other needs, such that they should 
continue to be covered by a regulatory exemption allowing their 
consideration by creditors. The CFPB is further considering whether 
medical debts should be included in consumer reports provided to 
creditors.

Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the 
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union 
Administration, and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (collectively, 
the Agencies) to develop regulations to implement the amendments made 
by the Consumer Financial Protection Act (CFPA) to the Financial 
Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) 
concerning automated valuation models. The FIRREA amendments require 
implementing regulations for quality control standards for automated 
valuation models (AVMs). The Agencies issued a proposed rule to 
implement the CFPA's AVM amendments to FIRREA in June 2023.

251. Required Rulemaking on Personal Financial Data Rights [3170-AA78]

    Legal Authority: 12 U.S.C. 5533; 12 U.S.C. 5481
    Abstract: Section 1033 of the Consumer Financial Protection Act 
(CFPA) provides that, subject to rules prescribed by the CFPB, a 
covered entity (for example, a bank) must make available to consumers, 
upon request, transaction data and other information concerning a 
consumer financial product or service that the consumer obtains from 
the covered entity. Section 1033 also states that the CFPB must 
prescribe by rule standards to promote the development and use of 
standardized formats for information made available to consumers. The 
CFPB released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in October 2023.
